Video: Valentino Rossi wiping out Casey Stoner at Jerez

A little more than an hour after the end of the wildest race we’ve seen in sometime, we’ve already got the first videos already appearing on YouTube of Valentino Rossi wiping out Casey Stoner at Jerez.
The footage is lousy, but you can still see Rossi going in too hot and losing the front end and his Ducati slipping out of his control wiping out Casey Stoner, with both riders sliding into the gravel pit.

The Australian was absolutely fuming around the ears, as the marshals concentrated on dragging Rossi out from Stoner’s Honda which landed squarely on top of the Italian and his Ducati, while he was literally left unaided.
Livio Suppo who was watching the race commented and complained on TV saying that the Spanish marshals, played favourites prefering to help the charismatic Rossi over Stoner.

While Stoner later said that Rossi has more ambition than talent, which will spark numerous comments on a brainless racing incident in tough conditions.
Updated with a much better video after the jump:
