Seriously??

Again??

coming to expect it by now, might as well start betting on which lap  

At least there's some good action up front.

Meanwhile half the field just crashed out.

Exciting last lap.

Woulda been nice to see a podium for Nicky, but I'll take it.

once again, the pedrobot cracks under pressure and runs it wide 2x in the lat lap
first dovi and then hayden go through...

and so many dnf's...

i'm so happy hayden is a contender this year [moto]

most important is that he's being consistently real good, podium is nice but regularly just being a hair away can keep you in the hunt too.

not the best race, but way to go nicky! I cant believe how fast lorenzo gapped rossi...too bad mugello is gonna be a rossi master class.  The looks on the faces in the ducatis' garage after casey crashed were..interesting to say the least

Nice to see Nicky could salvage a 4th after the Pedrobot screws the pooch again.

I agree. Look at Stoner's season in comparison. Consistant, yes. But in a bad way. When the bike is decent Nicky is usually consistant and if he's not he takes the blame. Unlike some other riders. Nicky is a hard worker. Not an alien, just 9 to 5 hard work.

I know this is still a ways away, but when I go to Laguna Seca I'm going to be a little pissed if Stoner DNF again.

by the 5th lap as the over/under for betting? 

Stoner...WTF.

Lorenzo...

Pedrosa...

Hayden... Laguna could be interesting with Hayden riding well.

Well that's how Hayden won a championship.   

In the post race conference, Jorge said "when I make the pass, I didn't expect it to be so easy."     I think he may be batting at a hornets nest.  Should be a good year between the Fiat pair.
