Yeah, was pretty funny. Looks like Rossi was trying to follow JLo, but when he came up to him Lorenzo slows down mid corner disrupting Rossi. Commentators start laughing at the shinanigans. It was fairly safe but certainly unsportman like by Jlo as it looked very intentional. I'm sure he was laughin in his helmet.

ah ok on german tv it looked like jorge passed him on the brakes but didn't touc hthe throttle after that
Shut up about that sucky ... rider Nicky Hayden already. We all know he sucks, end of story.
Now let's move on to more interesting riders. Rossi seems to be doing pretty good so far, but will his times drop when the Honda's lay down the hammer? In my opinion..... No. In fact, I don't see him finishing the race in the top 5. I believe this is a MUST win for Pedrosa. If he gets beaten by his teammate in front of his home crowd, that would be de-moralizing. Pedrosa needs to stop being a little boy on a motorcycle and be a big boy on the motorcycle and fight with more aggression and tenacity. I've always seen him as a rider missing that x-factor. That x-factor being riding with his heart on his sleeve, being more assertive and aggressive on the race track.
Lorenzo will try his best here but I just don't see him winning this round, though he will podium. It's a toss up between Stoner and Pedrosa who wins this weekend.
Why do I find the silence about JL's dive inside Rossi and the subsequent slowing down mid corner a bit odd?
I thought the forum members are for a very safe GP racing given how Rossi was criticized for his Qatar start
Jumkie I think your quote is from Loris talking about Batista getting a frame he didn't have access to for the last half of 2010. I dont think he mentioned it until the season was over. Yes you are right, If the first guy you have to beat is your teamate it would be nice if you had access to the same machinery because the assumption is you are on the bike. If Ducati are still giving satelite riders factory equipment that means Hayden's bike would not even equal Abraham's. Nicky confirmed in a round about way that he is on the flex bike today by saying its the same bike he had at Qatar. I get your point that this is not testing as usual. If you have a chassis that's as off as Hayden's seems to be why keep using it? At best he is testing for the new bike
