I don’t know about you, but last weeks MotoGP 250cc race at Mugello was one of the most exciting I have seen in a long time. However one thing dominated the race, and that was how much of an arse Simoncelli is. I think his riding is dangerous, I think he needs to cut his hair, I think he needs to stop trying to be Valentino Rossi, with his day-glo leathers, nose sticker thing, attitude. Only Vale can be Vale, so stop it.
In an attempt to find out what the punishment was for his stupid moves at Mugello, I headed over to the motogp website, where I found this funny tab:
Notice the tab at the top. Brilliant.
For the record, Simoncelli got a $5,000 fine and a “yellow card” from race direction.
To be honest, the racing was amazing, but I felt really bad for Bautista when he did some seriously amazing riding to get to first, only to get whacked off track and then make another amazing comeback, only to have a moment and settle for third. All the while, Simoncelli doesn’t fair any worse for his stupidity. But as they say, this is racing…still doesn’t make him any less of a tit.

It’s not because I’m a fan of Alvaro’s that I can’t stand Simoncelli (though god knows he’s given us enough reason in that respect) – he is just a genuine arse.
And I also believe *dangerous* – not because he’s a *hard* racer or anything, but because he’s a reckless idiot.
