I don't know how many people have seen it or not. But I was curious to know what everyone thought about the Pedrosa/De Agelis run in?
Intentional?
Could it have been avoided?
Did De Angelis get in trouble? Should he?
Is it just hard racing?
Thoughts?
I saw it and think it was purely accidental. If anything it was Pedrosa's fault IMO. DeA did not get in trouble as far as I know.
This is what I would call a "racing incident" It certainly didn't look intentional. Just a couple guys going for the same 2" of pavement.Originally Posted by ShinySideUp
I think it was a seriously bold move by DeAgnelis, but that is why they get paid to race motorcycles.
Pedrosa went wide then tried to get back in... it was an accident, simple as that.

I don't know. He had to have seen him. I know he was looking down the other way, but pedrosa was in front of him. Seems like he wanted to push him to the side a little and accidentally to it to far.
A Sattelite Honda rider sticking it to the Factory guy is what it amounts to. Just good hard racing, with maybe a hint of DeA trying to make a point to the "factory" guys

Pedrossa wasn't even on the tigers teeth when he got nudged.
No doubt here, Pedrosa was running way wide on the exit. As he came back in De A was already in the space he wanted to occupy.
I HATE contact in road racing, it's really scary when it happens. That pedrosa kept it on two wheels is pretty amazing, but this was just a racing incident. I don't think any malice was intended.
But he was WAY on them at the exit of the corner. Exactly the point above, he ran wide and De A saw an opportunity to make the pass. He took that opportunity. (as he should have)

I agree he was wide. He took an outside line trying to go around vermeulen, and as he kept going DeA just nailed him. I just think it could have been avoided. And Pedrosa was no wider than DeA on the corner b/c DeA pushed Pedrossa on the curb.
shit happens!
I just cant wait to see more of the "new Repsol rider".
be nice till it's time to no longer be nice
See I'm glad that poster was picked I watch an interview with danny after the race and he was talking about that dea had no respect. I am sat there and watched that thinking ya just like when you took and nicky. Only guy on the gp grid that I don't like. That's why I call him little bitch.

I've always thought he was a little prick, you're right Tipys, every interview he's blaming someone else or just being unhappy. Yeah, it's their job but at least the other guys look like they appreciate where they are at least every once in a while.
I don't think it was intentional. De Angelis would be an idiot to risk crashing just to prove a point.
Close quarters at high speed - it was just an accidental love tap. "Sorry, I didn't mean to touch your boob."

Stupidity should be painful.
I'm not a Pedrosa fan but I cringed when I saw him get hit on the left side, left leg area. I'd read reports that he has unhealed wounds and stitches on his left leg and knee. Ouch.
Whoa, bet that felt good...damn.
I paid DeAngelis 1000 euros to hit him, 5000 euros if he wrecked him out. Guess his contract is good enough that he didn't need my 5 grand.

seemed more like pedrosa slowed down and deangelis was at speed and wasnt expecting him to be there

I'm getting the feeling you dislike Pedrosa...call it intuition, or a 6th sense or something....
650R?
Other the jeff does anyone like danni? I think not.
