Pramac Australian MotoGP <SPOILED>

Bastianini's perspective:

Of course he feels that way. I probably would too.

I'm thinking that Kent figured he needed to get to the front and go away so people would stop hitting him.

Didn't think they'd top Qatar this year, but Jeebus that was fine.

By the end of the race, an industrious and curious Tammy Gorali, TV commentator for Sport 5 in Israel, worked out, there had been 52 passes in total among the top four.

from what I have been reading from clicking on tabs, in Italy many people are NOT happy with Crazy Joe's move . . . They're even insulting him

The stat that there were more passes in that race than all of F1 this season says it all. Sports commentators down here more into ball sports converted to Moto GP after seeing the race. People really liked seeing the riders work the bike with their bodies. That race did alot for the sport here. Crazy Andrews pass has so many talking on the media. The one eyed Rossi fans are being dickheads, Rossi would have celebrated that double pass. That stuff enthuses him big time.

Rossi fans can be whiners.

Another bit of info. I didn't know about as well. Iannone was on a brand new motor (#9/12). The other 3 were on their 5th, and last, motors, and none of theirs were brand new. So, besides the extra 2L, Ducati can run their motors at a higher state of tune since they have more.

This is all good news IMO. I expect the next 2 races to be very entertaining as well!!

He definitely did not appreciate that it was against him, but he did appreciate the actual pass.

I have a feeling if Lorenzo is ahead or very close (< 5 pts) by Valencia, it's over.  Rossi has a mixed record on that track and JLo seems to be very comfortable in his home country races.  Of course, anything can happen to change that (a few rain drops, for example), but in a way I feel like the championship is more-or-less coming down to Sepang.

+1 Rossi will need to focus all his effort finishing in front of Jorghey in Sepang. He needs a big buffer going into Valencia.

Yep. He was thinking, "Great pass, fantastico Andrea, but not today, make the beast with two backsing!"

[Triple J]

If it comes down to Valencia, I expect Rossi to turn in a banner performance. No one seems to be able to elevate his game like him. Sepang will be extremely important though, I agree.

Stoner should have beat him easily at Laguna in 2008, and we all know how that ended!

[duccarlos]

It's highly unlikely Jorghey would not dominate at Valencia.

Here is a snapshot of an Italian newspaper telling Iannone to emigrate to Spain since he is NOT a TRUE Italian
