Whose fault was Rossi's fall?

Question

I know the race was few days ago but I just got back... It's the only race I missed since I've been watching. I even dreamed how he falls and in the end it turn out to be true! So someone please tell me whose fault was it? Was the bike, Rossi or another rider...

I also see that Pedrosa is first... Good for him... so give mi some additional thoughts on the whole race :))

Answer 1

The words " Own Fault " and Vale dont normally go together, but, he fooked up on Sunday. it was a big let down.

Still, only half way in, still time to catch up!

Answer 2

As he said himself, it was his own fault because he tried too hard.  At least he has the good grace to admit it when he makes a mistake.  His fall wasn't the most shocking part of the race for me, though; I thought seeing Pedrosa smile for once was far more surprising!

Answer 3

i only saw the fall and it was just rossi pushing to hard!

Answer 4

It was his own fault, as he has accepted that he lost the front trying to push hard.

Rossi: "Unfortunately I made a mistake today and I want to say sorry to everyone - my team, Yamaha and of course all my fans. I lost some places at the start and had to wait a lap before I could start to push, but everything was feeling very good. Getting past de Puniet was hard because in the part of the track where it's best to overtake he was very fast. Finally I made my move and I made a great pass but I made a mistake and lost the front. I'm so disappointed because today our package was working very well and we missed the chance to make up a lot of points on Stoner. We know from Pedrosa and Colin's performance that the Michelin tyres worked well until the end and I'm sad that we weren't there to fight. Luckily Stoner was only fifth so the points situation is not as bad as it could have been. I'm very glad we only have seven days until the next race because right now I'm feeling quite bad, but very determined for America!"

Answer 5

Hey A.nik

He got a bit carried away - but luckily did't have to be carried off!

Hear it in his own words here:

The last few laps were really exciting - It seemed so unpredictable and any one of half a dozen riders could have been on the 2nd or 3rd step. Pedrosa was excellent.

You looking forward to this weekends race?
