  1. Was Pedrosa riding for Rossi in 2006? And he still went to pieces in valencia.
     
  2. :Watching:
     
  3. What a very unsatisfactory end to the season, and potentially VR's career; all because MM was being unsporting, something not covered under "the rules".

    The longer I ponder this the more convinced I am that VR is the victim and JLo is collateral damage, all because MM, rather than racing for the highest possible finish, decided to mess with VR.

    Whatever happens MM is the loser here.

  4. Hmm, dragging the sport into a french based court is always going to be fraut with oddball decisions. It's time some people got a bottle of "man-up" down their necks.

  5. You've admitted you have never raced. Perhaps you should spend some time thinking of why not?

  6. No chance of the appeal being heard before the Valencia race.

    What is in issue is whether the penalty should be suspended in the interim, or left to stand pending appeal, and apparently the tribunal is to be asked to rule (on that preliminary issue only) before the race.

    When courts or tribunals have to give rulings about preliminary issues, the argument is always about avoiding pre-empting the outcome. This reminds me of arguments about reporting restrictions on trials; once reports have been actually published it is too late to issue an order imposing reporting restrictions. The cat is out of the bag and can't be put back in. So courts usually impose interim restrictions first and then decide whether to lift them or continue them afterwards. This preserves the position in the meantime.

    No doubt Rossi will engage the best lawyers to represent him (who incidentally will charge a great deal more than £790 per day). And they will be presenting his case pretty persuasively. I cannot see how the tribunal could really refuse to suspend the penalty and thus preserve the position until there is a substantive determination.

  7. If you think Lausanne is in France, I suggest you consult an atlas. Or @gliddofglood .

  8. My earlier posts about Rossi not being the person people think he is, rings even more true to me now.

    I've got visions of him posing with his 10 championship trophies in a few weeks.

    If it happens, It'll always have a little ring of this picture about it.

  9. If the penalty is suspended it will make the matter (farce) even more so...one rule for one.

  10. Damn, major ball drop :handpointdown:

    At least the Danish courts have intregrity and resolve issues in a very astute and timely manner.

    Thank the heavens above its not a swiss court!

  13. itll be interesting to see what they decide (obviously) as it'll depend what they read and watch I reckon.

    If you hand them all the evidence and say ok, did Rossi running him wide result in contact? Then surely you're left with a bit of a conundrum (more obviousness, sorry) as MM took a knowing dive into him to try and initiate the turn.

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they try and call it..... When does the situation start and begin? Should the 'incident' start when Rossi runs him wide and end at the point that MM turns in thus starting 'incident' no. 2 in which MM comes a cropper?

    Imagine 2 guys in the pub, One pushes... Two pushes back, One pushes harder... Second one loses his footing and comes a cropper.... One gets done for GBH even though they were both just pushing.....

    How will it end? Anyone fancy hosting a viewing party? id offer but I have a tiny house and a dubious way of viewing..... @cherod / @Robarano ... Joint event? :innocent:
     
  14. have you ever read ring of fire?
     
  15. Is this thread still going?
     
  16. THREAD CLOSED
     
  17. Team mates like motegi 2006.
     
  18. From 'the inside team' its not pc. In the same way Rossi and Lorenzo would-should fight and argue behind closed doors. Track action is different (i think :nomouth:)
