Lorenzo and Tiny Tim def. touched on that last lap.

[Redliner]

Fuccccccccck. Lorenzo ran away from Rossi today and Stoner & Pedrosa looked like total noobs. They both won't have a ride next year if they keep this up.

Spies dropping the bike was not cool

I"m calling it now, Rossi to Ducati. You heard it here first

[_R_]

1) the ducati's seem to be having front end issues, casey is binning it while hayden isn't... wondering if haydens dirt background is helping him ride around the problem

2) spies seems to be finding it a little harder than expected to adjust to the bridgestones... apparently you have to trust the front tire in motogp way more than any other class because it has so much grip...

3) rossi still having rear end sliding setup issues, it's not often you see him outclassed by his teammate like lorenzo did this weekend... although looking at practice times, lorenzo was able to be consistant race pace in the mid 34's all weekend

4) rossi to ducati would be an instant orgasm for italy... question is, is burges up for another move and starting over with a new team/bike.

5) pedrosa... i'll say it again, he's too small and fragile to be consistant throughout a race weekend, he's fast no doubt, but there is no way he'll win a world championship... just too small...

You think his size has something to do with it? I don't. I mean yeah it's physical but a good fitness regime will overcome that. I think it's his mental strength that needs more work than anything else...

Is that what's bothering Rossi? I found it surprising that he didn't have an answer for Lorenzo...and I think Burgess would move again. Why wouldn't he? Was it hard to get him to move from Honda?

And yes, I'm surprised at Spies lack of results...

size, i do believe is an issue... dude weighs 100lbs, and man handling a motogp bike for basically 45 minutes has to have some sort of affect on his physical stamina... he just can't last as long as the rest of them...

rossi has been complaining about rear grip since the start of the season... they're having some issues getting the power down, too much wheel spin. remember in qatar he ran out of fuel on the cool down lap for that reason...

and burgess has been around since forever, he's close to the end of his career, what reason does he have to start over again developing another bike for a new team...

NOooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to 2010 MotoGP Rider's Champion, Jorge Lorenzo.

[MrHahn]

So I guess someone told Rossi to go out and break a leg?

[yonson]

FUUUUUUUUUU

[Redliner]

So we sure that Lorenzo is going to win this thing? That was a super dominant performance by Pedrobot.

And very cool gesture from Lorenzo wearing Rossi's VR46 shirt on the podium Respect.

split second before the crash...

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

I think that, if everything goes well, he'll be back in Brno. He may even do it for Laguna Seca, but there's no pressure,

[kngrsll]

yea, that foot looks BAD

[Shi]

From the interview he gave to Autosport it seems like the high side was caused by him moving off line for 2 faster riders, which lead to the temperature dropping too much in his tires

[Redliner]

Jorge's running away with this thing, but De Puniet's quali performance has been quite impressive...

[Redliner]

Rossi's back!

the part that amazes me the most about rossi...
1 month after snapping his leg in half, 4 screws and a rod holding it together, on crutches, messed up shoulder...
goes out on the exact same R1 that was raced the day before, on the exact same race tire...
and goes under the lap record set the day before by .1 of a second with little setup changes...
dude would dominate WSBK if he swapped race series... and the R1 isn't as good as the ducati or the aprilla...

the Italian lapped Brno in a time under the race lap record set by Cal Crutchlow a day previously, on exactly the same bike. Rossi's lap time was 1'59.135, while Crutchlow's race lap record is 1'59.291.
