In all fairness, it not a great comparison with Laguna 08(Rossi Stoner) and Turkey
07(Rossi -Elias)

Rossi blames tyre, slams Elias. | MOTOGP News | Crash.Net
Quote:
Pole sitter Rossi grabbed an early lead but ran wide on the exit of the ultra-fast turn eleven, dropping him down to fifth. The former five-times world champion then battled with Gresini Honda rider Elias for much of the race, the pair making contact on several occasions as they fought their way thrillingly towards the front.

"I'm quite unhappy with Elias today because I think he was quite dangerous - more than once he passed me on the inside and then altered his line. This is not a correct way to race," fumed Rossi.
First off, Rossi had tire problems. Secondly, Elias and Rossi touched several times. Rossi and Stoner didnt make contact.
