RE: ride through penalties
A personal opinion and not that of Administrator

I believe that it was no more than a racing incident, perhaps a bit on the exuberant side where Simoncelli was concerned, however also believe that it was no worse than the move that Lorenzo made earlier in the race on Dovizioso.

I feel that a certain "clique" is developing within MotoGP whereby anyone who upsets them and who "threatens" their supposed "superiority" is castigated in any way possible, in order to discredit them, and to prevent their inclusion within the "fraternity".

I witnessed far worse passes and "contact" incidents in both the 125 and Moto2 races on the same day, but those guys didn't complain, they just got on with it.

As the two persons involved are both riders for HRC ( Simoncelli on the Gresini satellite ride), it would be interesting to hear what take HRC have on the incident.


I can see MotoGP going the same way as Premier League football in the future- It will become a total "No Contact" sport whereby any incident whatsoever where two riders come together will result in play acting in order to gain unfair advantage with a total lack of integrity apparent in most if not all participants.

I would love to hear the opinion of some of the older past participants of MotoGP on what happened between Simoncelli and Pedrosa.
Be right back. I am going to go find myself, and if I leave before I get back, make sure to tell me !! -
