Race thoughts:
Lorenzo could be leading the points had it not been for few costly mistakes this season. It should be very clear to all of us why Rossi has been so vocal about wanting him booted off as a teammate
Stoner was amazing, and didn't waste any time reminding Pedrosa and Rossi that he was back. Props to him, but we all know he will not silence his critics...ever.
Pedrosa, that launch control is a joke, does it really matter where he quals? Anyway, he had a good enough race but Dovi's #4 is in serious danger.
Rossi can't win them all, but what I find most amusing is that excuses have been hard to come by this time around. We can't blame his bike since his teammate has 'nearly' the same thing, or the tires, or superiority of the other bikes, Casey's TC, etc., so it seems its time to throw Jeremy Burgess under the bus, 'obviously it was his crew chief's fault. Rossi can never lose on his own, and others cannot win on their merit, we can always find a reason thanks to the Mindless. At least it was good to see the Faithful (not to be confused with the Mindless) giving props and credit where due and admitting the man can be beat straight up sometime. I feel like this thread has been a bit anemic actually, I expected many more post since we had such a long wait. Geez, its not like the world ended, the man came in a respectable 4th.
Having said that, being a Hayden fan, I would gladly trade Rossi's respectable 4th for Nicky's pittyful 8th. It looked like he was making progress then Casey comes back and blows everybody on a Ducati away. If it frustrating for me, I can only imagine what it must be like for Hayden. BTW, thanks to Krashio's gravel surfing, at least he was the 2nd Ducati, eh Migs (you can come back now, it looks like Nicky is struggling).
Side note, I'm glad nobody was near Kallio when he took himself out. I'm sure he's disappointed too being that he didn't have anybody to break his fall as usual.
