Sete Gibernau revisits the infamous 2005 Jerez clash with Valentino Rossi, arguing that Rossi’s last-corner move—designed to push him wide and steal the win—set a dangerous precedent. Gibernau believes this incident normalized aggressive contact in MotoGP, shifting the sport’s culture toward more physical altercations. While acknowledging both riders acted within their championship strategy, he’s deeply concerned about how racing is now interpreted, especially as it could influence young aspiring racers. He stresses rider safety above all, imagining his son watching such a race and questioning whether such tactics should be celebrated. Gibernau calls for unified action from the championship’s leadership to enforce rules that prevent these risky maneuvers, warning that the stakes are far higher than just a crash.
