But it does tell you to take it to the court of sport to appeal. Which is what Rossi is doing.
Interesting read the rule book. The word sportsmanship is not in the rule book. I didn't see it even once.
So you could say what Marq was doing was ok. Also the same for Rossi as well. No it comes down to the crash itself. Did Rossi really cause this. Or did Marq do this himself by turning in to sharp.
The FIM president is asking everyone to be good sportsman. Yet they don't know what it is.
I believe this is what Pedrose was saying about the rule book. To many gray areas.

I am a Rossi van and always have been. I was a Marq fan but not much any more. Never was a Jorge fan and don't think I ever will be. I like Pedrosa more than the last two. He got screwed out of a championship because of others. And he is marked because of the crash with Hayden.
All of these guys are very very good. You could say they ride perfectly. So when you watch that last corner you can see that Marq hit Rossi. He was the one trying to take him out or both of them.
It is very clear that Marq head butted Rossi knee. And then he leaned in harder than Rossi. Trying to take him down. And because he was going faster and Rossin was bring his leg back it hit the handle bar. And he alone went down.
My real thought here is that when you go racing you race to win. You go for first not second. You give it your very best. You don't go out on the track to stop some one else from winning. Unless you bet them to the finish line. That is what racing should be.
Honda said that Marq went out there to stop his champion ship attempt. Like Rossi said this comes down to character and to me Marq has little. Same with Jorge. With the way he acted on the podium. Thumbs down to Rossi win and leave after he received his trophy.
Marq lost his bid for the championship on his own. Not from others like he says.
Rossi told the truth about what he did. Marq lied about everything. And so did the FIM. But that was not against the rules. Character is not in the rule book.

So what is everyone take on this.
the fans are on Rossi side.
Popularity for the four have all changed big time.
Pedrosa went down to 5%.
Marquez went down to 8%.
Jorge went down to 12%.
And Rossi. Well he went up way up to 75%.
Even Honda race director says that Marq was trying to stop Rossi championship success.
Only Pedrosa got it right. This is bad for everyone and MotoGP.
Jorge wants the championship handed to him.
Rossi is thinking about not going to the last race.
MotoGp is owned by the Spaniard's
Some thoughts.

You will fit right in. Welcome.
Hope you had a good time today.

Sunday for sure Ray.
Not my thread.
You won't need heated clothes.

That was third place. I'm going next time.

The thing is not to apply the brakes to turn on your brake lights. or bring the pads to the disk. They are already there. It is about having your foot or fingers on the levers and ready to apply. Any time you see any hazard you should do this. In heavy traffic my foot is on the brake all the time. I may have two fingers on the levers as well.

Safer and more fun when it is closed.
