Me likey that race.  Hayden is soooo much better when there is limited traction.  I was loving it when he squared off turns or slide both wheels from the apex and drifted on out to the rumble strips.  I *really* hope he clicks with the Duc next year.

Casey looked pissed at the end of the race.  Wassup wit dat?

Someone better give Spies a damn ride.  I wanna see Elbowz in the dry on a bike that he's had some time with.  Mebbe he'll be good, mebbe he'll just be ok, mebbe he'll be awesome.  But I really wanna see what happens.

Argh..I can't take these Americans announcers!  GO LORENTHO!!  bang head

Very anti-climatic finish....


Very anti-climatic is right!!  The whole race seemed to be.  I didn't care for the track.  Maybe it's just because it was a slow-wet race?!      


Sounds like it was a good showing for DMF'ers at the race though!!   waytogo

Too bad the conditions were rough but I'm sure the Hoosier Hooligans did it right!!   Evil

Not sure exactly.  He didn't have the pace to hang with Rossi and Hayden, so he shoulda been ok to with that result.  And it's not like he got 9th or anything.  He picked up valuable points on Pedrosa and he's already said that he doesn't expect to catch Rossi for the title.  <shrug>  Whatever.  He's allowed.  I thought he had a fine, albeit not spectular race.

GODDAMIT!  Why does everyone (on here and on the WERA BBS) get pissed at that?  That IS how it's pronounced.   I also don't know why people are surprised by the pronunciation, you had to have heard it 1000x on the regular speed/motogp.com broadcasts at some point right?

I found that somewhat comical just due to the nature of the recent happenings.  You can't expect immediate success with no testing time, but its amusing none the less.

Easy buddy. You're wrong.  Speed uses the motogp.com broadcasters, but thanks for playing  waytogo

I could swear I've heard the Speed (yes, Dorna) announcers pronounce it LorenZo as well. I KNOW the Eurosport feed annoucers pronounce it with a Z...I just watched the Laguna race to check.

Not saying Lorentho isn't correct, just that I've heard LorenZo a lot.
