Its not getting stupid, its been stupid. Choreographed celebrations are lame, and are banned in most big time sports. Someone should have busted him with a rock and yelled, incoming asteroid. What a putz.
 
I think Nicky did a great job with all the preassure he had.He seemed quite unhappy about it though,wanted podium.Maybe he is one place too low in the standings for the negotiations for next year to be easy,or he simply wanted to beat that damned Dovi.Ofcourse Valentino did a fantastic job.

Stoner seems to be riding as fast as that bike can go at the moment.I bet they have new frames and things to help the frontend ready by Brno.Lorenzo has just about won the whole thing now...
 
Yes what happened to big Ben? Not too much better than a couple of years back on the suzook

Well for the second half of the season, and since its his last stint with Ducati, I think Ducati should run a screamer for the rest of the races.



JUst so we get to see some riding, and a chance of someone getting a wheel near the Yamaha.









Vote 1! ...... Screamer for Stoner!

Do you think if Ducati considered this they would be able to bring the engine in?



I guess it would depend on what engines they had registered and how many and maybe what the rules actually state.

Its pretty much a firing order change and obviously the electronics would be different.



The screamer might be thirstier on fuel also.



It Would'nt fix his front end problems though, although he seems to have it almost sorted.



Actually if Ducati did this could you imaging the sooking coming from the Hayden fanboy camp?

They already think Nicky is being dealt a raw deal....................

+1



especially when we've seen it before already, originals can be interesting, but the moon landing thing he's done already........
 
Well thats an hour of my life I'll never get back. What a god damn snore fest. And would somebody knock the living .... out of that Rossi wannabe please?

Ditto

Made it round a few years before ....

I beg to differ, I would actually think the Big Bag and the extra grip at the rear is what is causing the problems up front .

Yes I know but surely they want more than a few "also rans"

What about the idiotic "bowling Ball" thing, or the "chicken egg" thing

waste of time ...... so I don't usually watch that crap, but they could be showing us something interesting at least

Do a montage of "hot chic's" they have seen throughout the day, or one of the techo's giving a walkthrough or something, anything but Pantomine Purility !

he ran wide a few times. first to drop behind Dovi, Rossi and Hayden, then to drop off the back of Rossi when he closed him down and then once more to drop off the back of Hayden when he caught up to him. disappointing but he had the pace, just too many mistakes.
 
Impeccable race by Lorenzo, everything is going his way. When skill and luck combine like this, it becomes almost too easy to predict that he will not only win the title but also break a few records in the process. Pity for his choreographed celebrations -- next consultant he needs is a good director...



Stoner... Come on. He would probably have woken up, like at Sachs, only if a certain #46 had caught up with him. Lacks motivation, already waiting for next year.



Rossi did very well. He finished exhausted. It's funny seeing him riding so stiff on the bike, all bent forward to ease the stress on his limbs. At Brno he'll be closer to Lorenzo.



Pedrosa threw away his remaining title chances here, crashing like Simoncelli. Pity, especially for the show.



Dovi will need to do better than this to survive at Honda.

Stoner was on it in my opinion, look what happened to Dani when he was pushing to hard.



Casey pushed hard lost the front a couple of times then decided discretion was the better part of valour.

The problem is no one believes the guy when he said he did have problems.



Yeah I'm a Stoner supporter but I will stand up for any rider when someone is bagging them needlessly (well maybe not Whore Gay
<
).

Casey would like nothing more than to give Ducati wins before he leaves, he has plenty of motivation. If your lacking motivation you don't

finish on the podium four races in a row or qualify as well as he has already done, its as simple as that.



The Ducati is not as good as package as the Yamaha's at the moment. The Yammies are so composed its not funny.



You can only push so hard, look at Nicky compared to Stoner. I'm sure Nicky is busting his ... he always does and

Nicky is having a hard time beating Spies.



I reckon Stoner will get a win but just not sure when, I also think the battle with Rossi at Germany gave him that bit more

trust he needs in his bike.

we got jack chit here.the BBC seem to be diluting more each yr we got live tv pics just as the warm up lap was finishing the race and a bit in parcf

Eurosport dont show the race live.nxt yr motogp might be gone from main stream tv onto a backwater red button chit

Lorenzo is a miserable attention whore, but nobody cares about him. Italian anthem is classic.

nope the moment it became a championship where points are awarded down to 15th place finisher

and we had 14.13.12.finishing regular etc it became a farce a non championship

when teams can virtually guarantee a championship point just for turning up it . It's not a World championship event in the real sense



2009

usa 12 finish



brno 13 finish



indy 14 finish



smarino 14 finish



portugal 14 finish



2010 omg lol
 
Good ride by Lorenzo. His riding this year has been almost faultless. Does anyone else wonder if he has a yellow shrine in his bedroom?
 
Oh, Dani. facepalms



As for the Italian anthem playing during the PC, perhaps the guy who pressed play thought he was still watching the F1 race.
