Title: MotoGP 2010 - Japan - bit of a spoiler alert
Post by: Mr.S2R on October 01, 2010, 02:29:34 PM
Well the Japanese round is on this week, and it is a tragedy already!  Poor old Pedrobot had a failure on his Honda (jammed throttle) and which resulted in him been thrown off the bike and him breaking his collar bone - out for three races!

So this means the title is Whorgays - yawn!  [coffee]

Anyhow there is still a race on and Rossi is the fastest in FP1, which is a good sign that we may get a bit of decent racing and Whorgay may not have another victory.  Dovi has also shown some speed as being second fastest.

Anyhow the times on OneHD are:

Saturday 2 Oct - Qualifying 2:50pm EST, half hour earlier for us Central people (2:20pm)
Sunday 3 Oct - 1:55pm 125cc, 3:00pm Moto2, MotoGP is 4:30pm EST, half hour earlier for us Central people.

Ah Pedrobot, always the bridesmaid, never the bride!  [laugh]

I do feel for Pedrosa, he's always so close, but something screws him every time. I hate seeing the championship getting gifted to whoregay (haha, whoregay).

What an awesome win by Stoner!  Great fairing bashing by Rossi and Jorge!  Next two rounds are looking to be crackers, especially if Pedrosa decides to race in Malaysia! [moto] ;D

+1

Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Yamaha pits at the moment.  Lorenzo still did the "I'm # 1" signal after the race in the pits, but everyone knows that he'd just been taught a lesson by the guy next door...

That was a top race all 4 of them were hanging it out.
The fairing bashing was brilliant, Rossi was never going to let him get on the podium.
I think he would of taken him out if he had too, well it certainly looked that way.
