Interesting that there's no mention of the Stoner incident...

Here's two other articles talking about GP racing, and how "rubbin's racing"

"Roadracing Is A Contact Sport," Pt. I

“Roadracing Is A Contact Sport,” Pt. II

I kinda agree with Vale...You think Rainey, Lawson, Gardner, Roberts, Doohan, Schwantz were just gonna wag tongues about rude passes? Nope, they were gonna do the same rough stuff right back. Usually at the next corner...

I completely agree with Rossi.

Drama queens....with Stacey Moaner being the worst of the lot....he goes on and on about how Mick Doohan is his idol....I'm sure Doohan is like, "would you PLEASE keep that to yourself you whiney little cunt? You piss and moan more in a single race week-end than I did in my entire fucking racing career."

Funny, I don't remember him using the term "wimps" in the version I read last week.

What word did he use? I'm curious - as in the article they inset the word... (wimps).

On motomatters.com, the quote was:

Quote:

The problem, Rossi avowed, lay elsewhere: "For me, the problem is that big part of MotoGP riders now are pussies," Rossi declared. "In the past, this is normal, the riders were more like real men. Now it is more like they are children."

The teenagers racing AMA Supercross are tougher acting than these guys.

I know there is aggressive and then there is intentional. But really the GP guys should check out Moto2 or WSBK...How many riders got pushed literally off track at Monza? I counted 4 among the leaders and you know there were more than that back in the field that didnt get TV time.

The fans are worse than the riders...
