... see, I don't pregnant dog all the time.

True. Sometimes you talk about guns.

Nicky had to fight for that 5th, but I'm happy he had a decent showing.

Overall  

Hayden got 6th. Cal and Dovi 4th and 5th (good battle).

...and he didn't look very happy about it.

Rossi:

"I can't ride this bike, I can't make the difference, I can't even keep up with Hayden's pace, who I used to go quick against in comparison. In theory, with new tyres I should go quicker. Nicky managed to do a good race with the other works Ducati, but he still ended up only sixth."

The expression "in the shit" (which Rossi was supposed to have said to Burgess, first time he tried the bike) might seem to apply.

My take is it's a 50/50 split between the bike having problems and Rossi being unwilling to let it hang out to try and race around those problems.

Crappy bike aside - gotta wonder if Rossi's griping (yes I used that word) isn't an obvious shot across the bow of the Ducati Corse yacht...

At least he hasn't collapsed with a mysterious illness

Stoner has to be loving this with Rossi!  

Great Moto2 race. That move by Marquez on Luthi was pretty harsh though.

I wanted to see Marquez get punted after that.

Here's Pedrosa's trophy for second place:

With only 6 factory rides, it would be hard to find a seat at the end of the year. If he begs, he might be let back on the Yammie. I would love to see the super ego garage, Stoner/Rossi @ Honda.

Are we delving into Silly Season again? OK, I'll bite:
1) MotoGP becomes CRT/NASCAR.
2) Marlboro decides that $18mm is a bit much to pay for a backmarker.
3) The 1199 Panigale is finally ready for combat
4) Rossi sees the writing on the wall, goes to the great WSBK retirement home in the sky...
5) Troy gets miffed, comes out of retirement.
6) We all forget MotoGP.
7) Ezpeleta cries.

Moto2

Turn 1, Marquez vs Lothi.

Dick move?

Or just racing?
