I really hoped Troy could go for it at his home race and match Loris for a race win. It did look like he touched the back of another bike and was just braking immensily hard.
But isn't Rossi something else - I thought the 10sec penalty was suspect anyway - as he was already committed to an overtaking manouver before the yellow could be seen (IMHO - anyway), perhaps if he backed off, he might of actually caused an accident !!!
In my eyes he still won the race by
ALMOST 20 SECONDS - which is simply astonishing in MotoGP.
Flying the No.7 flag was a class thing to do as well.....
Rossi Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
