Woke up an hour late, motogp.com wouldn't let me join late to watch vid from start. Caught last 5 laps, then when back and watched start like a neatherdthal on, sare I say it 'SpeedTV' AKA the shittiest coverage on the face of the planet. Every single action move was during a commercial.
Anyway...
(First of all, if you haven't read my threat in the Lounge about RU, please do so. I'm getting some good PMs, but still, I know somebody out there has got to know something. Those of have PMed me, thank you gentz.)
Second, gutted for Nicky, early mistake took him out of race.
Great for Lorenzo, he needed a boost and the points chase looks decent now.
Dovi, maybe's he'll get some attention now? Honestly, I have a question, should Dovi be considered an "Alien"? That's a serious question, he's proved to be a consistent front runner.
Stoner looked to have race in bag. Perhaps their "poor tire pressure" was to blame, as he was ahead then lost it. I haven't looked at lap times, but did Lorenzo close the gap by getting faster or Stoner get slower (which might point to his tire pressure issues).
What was scary is Sic coming in hot to retake Spies, where Spies went under him. I knew Spies would beat him regardless, but the exchange was scary, considering Sic uses others as crash test dummies.
Vale, I'm not sure, but I wouldn't say a distant 6th was a great result. I think he did well enough to get a race finish, get points, stay decent in the championship. It felt a lot better because he got ahead of the mid-pack he was chasing. Sure he beat the likes of Barbara, but is that were you want to be racing against?
Cal, what's going on. Did he have another bike issue chewing up the front tire?
