    You forgot your pedant tags.

    I didn't think it was aggressive either. Certainly Sete would have done
    the same thing had the roles been reversed.
    Agreed. Wonder if they're still mates?

    Ahh, you're seeming to infer that 'aggressive' is somehow a bad thing.
    Not the case. IMO it _was_ aggressive, which is a good thing.
    Heh. Were they ever?

    I did indeed infer that it was a bad thing, in the case of the sentance in
    which Verdigris typed it.

    Whether or not aggression is a good thing or a bad thing on the track
    would probably end up being subjective, based upon whether or not I liked
    the rider, didn't like the rider, or haven't decided.

    However, in this case I really didn't see it as being aggressive. Rossi
    exited the previous corner faster, and easily went up the inside on the
    next one. Sete was half a tracks width away lining up for a dive to the
    apex. There was plenty of time for all involved.
    Apparently so. Check the photo of them, on the way out to Assen:-

    hi! I'm spanish so maybe I can solve your dude.
    We want (not all) that Sete win, but we understand that Rossi is the
    best, maybe the best of all the history. But we only want that Sete
    win because he's spanish, because people don't like him very much. At
    least not how we like Dani pedrosa. Because Sete seems little humble,
    and posh, and always have excuses...
    Dani is our hero not only because he's a great rider, and has so much
    talent, but also because he's a very nice boy, who worked very much to
    be where he is. He's our younger world champion, and all the people
    admire what he's doing after recovering of a big accident, and without
    training this winter, with a new bike etc etc etc
    He never says excuses, and proves to be very intelligent...
    So we adore him. And Alberto Puig.

    But, ask any spaniard and they will for sure say the same about Dani.

    Hey! Don't blame me for your lack of comprehension of English, and
    appreciation for the finer points of racing.

    Why not? It's clearly your fault.
    I appreciate them just fine. TYVM.

  7. Yes, I know. The people I know seem more interested in the 250s because
    of Dani. And he is very talented. I expect he'll move on before long?

    Luego.

    He's an incredible talent for sure. When he did a lap in the car at
    Valencia last year, it was obvious he's widely adored. It's a shame he
    wasn't riding though - that could have been great.

    The amount of billboard posters of him, and him plus Elias, Nieto and
    Gibernau was an eye opener. Nosotros somos azul.
    Maybe, but he's still young and small. I don't know if he'll have the
    strength yet to muscle a GP bike around. Although Capirossi seems to
    manage, I suspect he's padded out a little since his teenage days.

    Well, I think he's still small, and so young for motogp. But I think
    he's preparing for it.

    In Motogp, I think Ruben Xaus is the future ;)
    Will you come to Valencia this year to see the race? or to Portugal?
