2013 MotoGP - Assen (SPOILER)

M&M cartwheeled himself and his Respol Honda down the track during FP3.  Looks like another nasty highside with the bike resting on his leg as the slid off the track into the kitty liter.

That shot of him resting on the tire barrier is pretty telling.

"Owwww.... my everything.... it hurts..."

Or maybe he was saying...."First I went weee, then I went woooo, then it all ended.  Can I do that again next week, that was fun."

Target practicing.  He needs to improve his accuracy if he's going to take out Pedro.

Ouch!!

I see MM punting the Turd into the gravel a few times, letting Lorenzo heal up enough to win it in Valencia.

He managed that on his own pretty well.

my guess is, he isn't expecting to perform, but more in the name of salvaging points more than anything.

"I broke my collarbone at Silverstone in 2011, and when I came back here (two weeks later), I had a medical test of (push-ups)" Assen pole winner Cal Crutchlow said. "So if he passes it, he's strong. Maybe he can do some meditation or something before and then go for it.

"If he passes it, I'm sure he can ride. Riding the bike is probably easier than the (push ups). If he rides, he's my hero!"

MotoGP has a real season, now!

Kudos to Lorenzo - still don't like him but he did what a real champion does....reminds me of the 'good old days'

Lorenzo has always been tough as nails, but I have to respect the man for what he just did.  Hell of a race.  Nice to see Rossi back on the top step.  I was wondering if we'd ever see him back there again.  I'll savor it and hopefully he can keep up the good form for some podiums going forward.

Pretty good race there.

Hats off to Rossi

Glad to see Crutchlow fight it out to the end for a good result

Pedro sure dropped the ball on this one

Lorenzo is an animal for racing today let alone getting a decent result

I don't think I saw a Ducati the entire race. I almost forgot they existed.
