Even though i didnt really see it coming, we were warned about Pedrosa's pace this weekend from Marquez and Dani himself. In this instance, his size was a positive factor as it was instrumental in getting the softs to last an entire race. If im not mistaken, that puts him in a 3 way tie with Ago and Rossi for winning a race in consecutive years [11]. A win next year would put him alone in that category. As for the race itself, that 5 points Dani just took from Rossi is huge and i have a feeling will play a large factor in the championship. At this point, Honda and Marquez are painted into a corner with their strategy and cannot afford a dnf or bad finish as the Yamaha will be favored over Honda at every track except maybe PI where Marquez may or may not have the past magic and maybe Sepang with Dani. Aragon, Motegi and Valencia will favor Yamaha I dont think Marquez can win the title without at least one more win or a positive points gain like the one he was going for at Silverstone. That 7 points would have just about wrapped it up but he lost 3 instead. Depending on how much damage limitation he can do at the next 2 races, PI may be the place he has to make a stand. This title is far from over
