View Full Version : should stoner have been fined? callaghan 15-10-2006, 01:38 AM what is your take on this?? stoner fined $1000USD. (http://images.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_news.htm?menu=news&news_id=18096&championsip_id=3) edit: the first word up top should be "do", not "so". osg 15-10-2006, 07:53 AM Would have to see the footage to comment..... but i say off the top of my head no. ...............and i dislike Dani. ;) callaghan 15-10-2006, 11:38 AM damn, just realized, i voted for yes, when i meant no. i dont think he should have been, i dont believe he had purposefully interfered with pedrosa's lap. not that that is an excuse, but it happens in racing. from what i saw, he couldnt have been on the inside any further, and since it was a left-right turn, its not like he could have just shot back across dani to go to the outside of the right hander. osg 15-10-2006, 12:07 PM You know, watching the GP now......... i'm a big Casey Stoner fan, but christ he frustrates me immensely. He just can't seem to keep it upright at the moment. Unfullfilled talent at the moment when you look at Dani's progress. Dom 15-10-2006, 12:54 PM I would say that the fine is probably fair. A grand is nothing to these guys in the grand scheme of things, but you can be sure Casey will make that extra effort to stay out of people's way on outlaps in the future. baldylocks 15-10-2006, 09:01 PM according to casey (via eurosport) he wasn't stopping to make a practice start - he was merely slowing down and hadn't anticipated the arrival of Calamity Dani quite so quickly (much like Hayden I expect ;) ) so on that basis - no |
