The Valentino Rossi/Casey Stoner race crash at Jerez on Sunday.This is the controversial moment when Valentino Rossi crashed and took out 2011 MotoGP World Championship leader Casey Stoner during Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez (see below for full sequence).The incident occurred when Rossi tried to overtake Stoner for second place at turn one on lap 8 of the wet race.The Italian, who had qualified just twelfth for Ducati, came from a long way back in the braking area, but looked like he might just make it work – until his front-wheel folded at the apex.Stoner was on the outside of the Italian with nowhere to go and Rossi’s fallen bike wiped out the Australian’s front wheel, sending them both sliding off. Rossi rejoined to finish fifth in a race that saw eight riders crash, while Stoner was forced to retire. Rossi later apologised to Stoner, who won from pole at round one in Qatar.Stoner, although smiling and accepting Rossi’s handshake, said “Your ambition outweighs your talent” during the brief exchange, in which he also asked about Rossi’s shoulder.

Honda has taken the wraps off the bike it hopes will claim back the MotoGP World Championship crown in 2011, as well as officially presenting new rider Casey Stoner in Repsol colours. Following on from Ducati’s high-profile unveiling with Valentino Rossi, Repsol Honda has formally revealed its expanded three man line-up of Stoner, Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso. Even so, it is Stoner that is courting most attention, the Australian integrated into the team’s distinctive colours having previously tested aboard a white liveried RC212V at Valencia last year. Former Ducati man Stoner, who proved instantly quick during that test, is being charged – along with Pedrosa and Dovizioso – with wresting the MotoGP title off Honda’s rivals for the first time since Nicky Hayden won for the manufacturer in 2006.

Casey Stoner’s five-race run of podium finishes came to an end after this front-end fall in Sunday’s Indianapolis MotoGP (more pics below).The Australian lost control of his Ducati on lap 8, while looking for a way past Valentino Rossi. The accident was Stoner’s third of the season.“I am very disappointed. It was a nothing crash, but obviously it was enough to leave me out of the race,” said Stoner.”I know a lot of people have had front-end crashes, but apparently here at Indianapolis we have gone back to the situation we were in at the start of the season and we’ve struggled to find front-end feel in the corners.”It is a real shame because we had good pace, and I think we could have been on the podium.”Stoner had just set his fastest race lap, which proved the third fastest of the race.”Casey crashed just at the point when the tyre he had chosen was coming up to its optimum level and he was recovering well but lost the front,” said team manager Vittoriano Guareschi. “It is a shame because after five podiums in a row he could have had another one here.”This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you’re reading it on someone else’s site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.phpFive Filters featured article: “Peace Envoy” Blair Gets an Easy Ride in the Independent.
