so Poggiali has been disqualified from the Marlboro Grand Prix of Spain, but so what!
He finished like 9 or 10 anyway, its not like it hurt his title challenge in anyway.

Personally I think the penality does not go far enough!! He should be stripped of more then just the 3 or 4 pionts he gained and should possibly have to miss a race or two.

I think his riding was more the "irresponsible" and although i haven't heard exactly how Alex de Angelis is, he definately looked in a very bad way! Sickening in fact! I'm certain that he will be missing races. I think he mangeled his hand pretty badly. He was riding superbly, heading for his first podium (i think), a team one-two, and was basically riding better then Poggiali! Only Poggiali's arrogance and stupidity caused an accident, which although was very bad, could have been even worse!

Manuel Poggiali gets a big thumbs down from me!
