Americans doing well, including that half Aussie, our Colin!  ;D

I think it's awesome that Hayden continues to be the quickest on the Duc.

and holy crap  :o that Aprilia is going to get itself upgraded to full MotoGP if it keeps that up.

I'd like to see Colin beat Rossi, I know there isn't a chance in hell but it would nice

Good race! Nice battles for 1st, 3rd, and 5th.

Casey, Casey, Casey...................


So close.

wow Casey from hero to zero ..thats an OH SNAP moment

but you gotta give him props for trying instead of playing safe ...but crap if you had played safe you would have been first ...now you have the 2 idiots ahead of you

That was painful watching Crutchlow/Spies get held up by the Dovi at the end. Which brings me to my next point and I have to say this. I can't stand watching Dovi race. For some reason, he is just flat out boring to watch and I'm going to be pissed when he take Ben's factory ride.

Today pretty much secured the Turd for next year no?

Rossi battling with the rookie... Come on Ducati  [roll]

IMO Dovi has been underrated. He's got some stuff, more than Ben so far for sure and Ben is no slouch.

Did Casey lose it because it had just started to rain or was it because of just pushing too hard?  They showed the rain literally 2 seconds after of him going down.

No not the rain, but unloading the front as he let the brake off

2 drops fell on the front straight. It was definitely not rain related. Even Casey will not blame the rain on that one.

Considering the "moment" he had a lap or 2 before, I would have really thought he had enough sense to back down and take the second.
He retiring, it would have put him into teh leada nd even on wins. Why race to bet Smurfy Von Dbag, who will now had his yearly race win.
Damn Casey, put your season before your ego...

“I'm pretty disappointed, I had planned to go for my 'win or bin' effort in the last corner, not that one!” said Stoner with a wry smile.

“I was comfortable for the whole race and felt we had a few tenths a lap over Dani.

“Then on the final lap I made a small mistake going into the first turn and knew I couldn't pass at the bottom of the hill [where he went on to crash].

“I basically just wanted to turn the bike underneath and get a good run going into the final turn, where I was confident I could make the pass.

“But as soon as I went to turn the bike in a little bit harder, the front just went away from me and it was 'game over'.”

I actually like that he's ALWAYS balls out and trying to win races. I like it when guys don't settle for 2nd. This is what makes him great. Not smart if you're looking at the championship side, but you always know that you will get 100% effort from Casey.

And this is what I dislike about Stoner. You're in a freaking gravel pit and you complain the marshalls didn't want to help push you out of the sandbox?  [roll]

man, Espargaro's save was crazy!

Out of the sandbox. Onto the racing line. In the middle of a race. So you could get what... One point?

fixed

Really sucks that Stoner crashed with only 2 (or 4) corners left on last lap.

But I am really happy for DOVI!  He is awesome rider.  Hope either him or Rossi take Ben's bike.  I realize  BBC commentators are obviously for Cal but they really need to give credit to Dovi instead of the BS about him holding Cal up.  I call BS on that.

That Bradl (Germany) is really doing amazing ranking.  I don't like his riding style just like I don't  like Lorenzo's riding style but it's impressive results.

Maybe, but from where I was sitting everytime they showed footage looking back at Cal from Dovi, Cal was running up on him in the corners. Nothing against Dovi, but one of his major skills is knowing how to make himself as wide as possible.

He's the one that crashes the bike, but it's the marshalls' fault he lost points...?

"I've seen them pick up loads of different riders and get going and there was nothing wrong with my bike, but there was no way they were going to help me."

Good bye and good riddance, psycho boy....don't wait up too late for the Nobel Prize Committee's telephone call

Has anyone here worked as a corner worker during a GP event, do they have any specific instruction in in an instance like this? OR if your directly in the impact zone, clear asap?

It was pretty obvious towards the end of the race that Dovi was holding up both Cal and Ben. The only reason they didn't get past him was because of the slow, tight turn nature of the track and his ability to hold the racing line without fault.

I'd say that Dovi's strongest racing attribute is his ability to keep others from passing. He is good and consistent but still boring to watch IMO

Again......moto3 delivers.

Hold up Cal from crashing :-)

The first and foremost priority (redundant for a reason) is the safety of the rider that crashed, the riders still out on course and the safety crew/medical workers/corner workers.
Most likely, the marshals were not willing to help get his bike back on track because literally the vast majority of the pack was coming into and through that turn and to do so would have put Casey and the other riders in danger.

Fact is, the ONLY thing they are required to do is the clear the impact zone and verify the health of the rider and assess any medical needs. They help get riders back going usually out of simple kindness. They aren't required to help a rider get back on track.
