Remember how Pedrosa was blowing the de-tuned M1s away on the straight at Indy? Well, at Misano . . .
Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa - the only rider that could match the factory M1 riders at Indy - was third fastest, 0.776sec from the top, and suffered a major engine problem at the end of the session.

I thought Honda had a reputation for reliability [evil]
Unlike most people I'm looking forward to seeing how this whole engine limit thing works out.

I am picturing 2/3rds to 3/4 of the way through next year major attricion due to motors blowing up and DNF's to mid race engine problems....
what race was it when Rossi had like a 15 second lead and going onto the straight on the Yam with most of the race done, his motor died?...I think it was 2006 or 2007 season?...I think we'll see instances like that for sure...
Looks like Pedrosa's engine is ok. His radiator cap just popped off/broke.

Yeah the video replay of the incident on Motogp.com showed it fly off and then the steam got his hand pretty good. He said it was pretty hot in his post practice interview.
Bad enough with all the crash-related injuries...now he gets scalded :o
The guy may not be popular, but he's tough...

It's because he is literally made out of stone.
Man, the Yammies seem down on power. All of em were down on the back half of the top speed charts during FP2. Pedro had 10kph on Rossi.
Rossi is pumpin in a bunch of high 1:34's here at the end though. He's got some ridiculous and consistant pace atm.
Well not quite the dogfight we've seen a few times this year, but Vale was a demon this weekend. Here's a free video from motogp.com.

That really sucks for Hayden and Edwards. WTF was DeAngelis thinking? Looked like he just ran into Edwards.
Not the most exciting race, but OK to watch. Rossi's donkey was hilarious. [laugh] Thanks Speed for editing out Rossi's pass on Pedro. [roll]
(yes, I just pregnant doged about Speed. I don't have a motogp.com subscription because my DSL connection is too slow).

I think the Kentucky kid could have put a hurt on

His strength is in his hair.
Hayden and Edwards should have played tug of war with DeAngelis.
He was some pissed in the video.

I've been thinking, ill get a group buy together for next year for motogp.com and we share a username and password.......
I'll miss CE's commentary when he's gone :'(
Can you tell us what happened on the first lap?
Colin 'I wasn't really involved except for slidin' around on the ground.
I don't know man, we're in italy and every now and then an italian has to go out and try to do something heroic. Then it all went pair shaped from there.'
