This is morbid, but I soooooo want Simoncelli to take out Stoner.  Can you just imagine the awesomeness that would ensue?   

funny when you consider, in a likely odds sense, how likely that really is.  simo is super fast.  there's only a handful of riders who are super fast.  in 7 of 18 races, he's taken out 2 of 5(ish) likely candidates.  stoner is almost a mathematical certainty to get clipped..  =)

altho, we may need an actuary to calculate revised simo-stoner odds when you consider that rossi already took out stoner once this year.

I'm not sure if Super Sic. v. Stoner would be more awesome than if Pedrosa took out Super Sic, only to have Douchey McBrittleBones break his collarbone again.

Douchey McBrittleBones   

that shit just never gets old 

+1!! Every name variation cracks me up!! Makes Pedrobot look boring.

is that why he is so little, early onset osteoporosis?
Don't break a hip little elf!

If Sic skittles another Factory Honda, I suspect his bike would lose about 20HP as soon as it went in the pits.

Ummmmmmm Skittles


All this shit keeps us watching - ( I have a feeling that is something "they" like)

I didn't want to be the one to wish such things...

But now that you said it, I'm all in 

In a punch on: Pedrosa Vs Simo = David and Goliath!!!

Apparently, qualifying was all about who could get in a fast lap before the rain came.
