Aoyama - walked away with it. Totally a smart rider. Bautista always doing that come from way back to try and snatch it at the last moment. Simoncelli - who the .... knows what's going on with him? .... him anyhow . . . he's a goon.
Aoyama is really kicking .... I'd love to see him come to Moto GP or WSBK and do better than Haga. I'm not gay for the Japanese - but for all they've contributed to racing over the years - they deserve to have one real, decisive champion. Time will tell.
They just showed close-ups of the rain tires post race and I they were bubbled up
but not as dramatically as the announcers were making it. They didn't really look
all that much more worn than a well-ridden slick after a hot race. Donnington is
not a particularly abrasive track anyhow.
