Casey Stoner saw red at the Spanish MotoGP yesterday after officials helped his rival Valentino Rossi re-start his bike, but left Stoner unaided.

Stoner began from pole and was leading the race with 20 laps to go when Rossi slid into him while attempting a daring overtake.

Rossi was at fault and apologised to Stoner, who was understandably upset his chances to get a good lead at the start of the championship were ruined through no fault of his own . 

Stoner's main beef however was with the marshals who helped Rossi get back on his bike and rejoin the race, while no-one helped him restart his Honda on his own, and he was unable to rejoin.
