while it might look like stoner had a lot of "space"...
he didn't actually... he hardly had any usable space.
so he (Stoner) backed off.

well, he was trying to run Rossi wide to begin with.

sneaky aussie. but Rossi kept pushing it.

and eventually Stoner had to back off
but in this case he had more time to react (compared to Dani) coz Rossi was alongside him for most of the turn.

Laguna Seca '08... for me, is THE best MotoGP race EVER.

just pressed the panic button when he saw the italian barge in from outside.
If Stoner or Rossi was in Dani's shoes or maybe if Dani was ready for Sic he might have just kept his cool and kept the bike leaned before Marco passed by and then take the next right turn.

Pedrsona may have to loose a position in that case..but it would have still been better than a broken collar bone

So either I vote both being at fault in this..or no one. Just a personal opinion

Thumbs up..

+1..

And there have been many races ever since which were very entertaining to watch..And Suren,earlier(previous page) said this 2008-2011(when I started watching races

) is the boring era..Don't know why?

Torrents of what races? Are you referring to races before 2008 or post that? I have been a follower of MotoGP class since 2008..

Try watching races of 2002 and 2003,
Max, Alex Barros , Sete Gibernau, Valentino Rossi,Melandri, Loris .
Some overtakes.
500 cc 2-strokes were mean.
Actually Races before 2006 were pretty exciting.

(This doesn't not mean 2008 wasnt, but the opponent Rossi was facing is completely different from the opponents now

Okay,the first one was a bit insane..But I still couldn't find the same intense level of rivalry in others as seen in Laguna Seca,Motegi or Catalunya..More please..

Sure,will give it a try as well..Trying to watch as many as I can.For the last two days I have hardly visited any other webpage(save Facebook) than Xbhp/motogp 2011 and Youtube..

About the bolds,here's a tweet I want to share..

@motomatters
David Emmett
@Shivank911 PED faces arguably the toughest field ever, at least since Rainey, Schwantz, Doohan, Gardner faced off in early '90s.

Hmm, so this means presently we are not watching pussies or sissies in any way..

Laguna Seca was like a last lap... right from the very first lap.

Also... try n download the '03 Philip Island Oz GP race (Rossi's best race EVER)

the '06 GP at Estoril is a fun watch too... with a exhilarating ending.

and... try n skip watching YouTube vids unless u've already seen the race...
it kinda doesn't pain the whole picture.
