Watched the press conference just now. The two Yamaha riders are much less vocal about how much the bike sucks than a few weeks ago, and are now saying that while they need another step in electronics that the bike is much better.

Mr. Jarvis intervene perhaps? :P

Allegedly they introduced a change in Germany that helped, but there's no one on that team that could stop Rossi from complaining if he really wanted to.

All three races were great.  Happy for Ducati.

Good fight with fastest lap on last lap [thumbsup]
Marky rode smart and extended his lead on a "bad" day. Good fight between Dovi and JL with no love lost in the Ducati garage. Dovi can't stand JL from what I made of the exchange after the race. Great double pass by JL. So glad to see Ducati doing well.

DOVIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah baby! Lorenzo was on fire today. Cal made a great pass on him early, but he returned the favor later. The pass on MM was textbook ‘get the make the beast with two backs outta my way ‘. Not a great track for Ducati, but the were the class of the field today.  [clap]

Great race with lots of action and gutsy passes.

Ducati going strong. Great to see both JL and Dovi on the podium.

Agostini eluded to this during the race, in a round about way.

The race wasn't the most exciting, except for the Ducati 1 and 2.

Dovi's apparently quite pleased with the race win, as he handled Rossi, JLo, and MM in the process.
And rightly so!

It was great to see Dovi prevail like that and Ducati prominent.

Dovi really does not like JLo and could barely shake his hand. It was obvious and he must feel really aggrieved as he couldn't wait to end the handshake. Then JLo was a douche' and did the head pat thing. Did you see what he did there? There was some primal man shit going on and the body language said it all.
It was also great to see JLo slug it out and the inside out double pass was brilliant. A few times there I thought Gigi would have a heart attack.

Marky is riding smart and by his own admission was off the pace (by his standards), but still got on the podium. Ominous.

Everyone blaming each other.

Por supuesto.  ;)
