Motegi GP 9/28 (spoilers!)

[gm2]

Maybe it was just the feed I was watching, but the bikes seemed to be getting much more chatter on braking than usual.  That course just looks soooooo fast. 

so fast and then so slow in the corners.  that place is full throttle, slam on the brakes, full throttle, slam on the brakes...

Earlier on, I thought the midget was going to run away with it.  You know how sometimes he just jumps out front and leaves everyone in the dust?

that's only @ Sachsenring    (...and donington)

BTW, Lorenzo's body positioning is amazing.  His back is perfectly parallel to the centerline of the bike. 

i've noticed that too.  geeky, but i really appreciate seeing someone with perfect form like that.

funny then when you see folks like bayliss or corser in comparison.. the fact that they might as well be sitting backwards on the bike doesn't seem to hinder their results.

I actually really like watching Bayliss' body positioning.  Week after week, it never ceases to make me laugh.  I don't get how he stays upright.  I love that guy.

My favorite line was from Mr. Stoner

"I was physically fatigued...so I had to drop the pace"

 

WTF was that?  He was tired so that's why he didn't win?  Give me a break - man up and just say "I was on the verge of crashing so I couldn't keep up"

Being tired isn't a valid reason for not coming in 1st? You're a tough crowd!! Stoner has been pretty well beaten up this season so I think his whining is prolly valid here.
+ he STILL finished second for crying out loud, give the guy a break.

[Stucky]

+1  He wasn't even whining.  Stoner can not catch a break since Laguna.

hasn't been that long since laguna.  and he made an ass of himself there.  hence over-apologizing to pedro (who apologizes to that guy?!)

Damn! No love for Stoner.

(everyone should push Dani around tho', just because he's so small)

I thought Stoner did a good job.

He stayed with Rossi as long as he could...like a lap or so...

and when he realized he couldn't win without risking not finishing at all he backed off and took second.

Weren't people just criticizing him for not being a smart racer and pushing too hard?

Kid can't win.

Best picture ever...would have been better if he had waved at Casey...

Should have given him the finger.  "You are number one!"
