Rossi was gaining on Stoner for a bit, but just couldn't keep up that pace and figured 2nd was good enough.

The robot was getting his fairings/hand bashed by de angelis on a pretty rough pass, I dislike the robot, but I was amazed how well he managed to hang on. Though I was bummed Nicky didn't pip him at the end Sad

This Rossi fan thought the race ended exactly how it was going to. Losail definitely favors the faster trap speed over the more technical riders. Not demeaning Stoner's win because 7 second margins on any track on race day is damn impressive. Just saying that if the track was tighter and more technical, things would have been much closer if not different.

That was a nasty highside.

It brings up the question of how is Nicky supposed to trust the electronics after that?

It's not supposed to happen.

What caused the nasty sky-shot? Just good old trying to go faster. "Just pushin' hard. People think that with electronics and traction control you can't crash these things and I laugh because it's so far from the truth."

Ive always liked Hayden but after reading that article I like him even more .There is something refreshing about a someone that take responsibility for the stuff up and not someone or something around them. That and from what I read he is a really hard worker.

i wonder if they added up all laps run by all riders in the last several years if anyone has had as much saddle time as nicky.

Interesting race.

Man, DeAngelis put a lick on Pedrosa, surprised he stayed on.

BBC had reported the contact between DeAngelis and Pedrobot was under 'scrutineering'.

Anyone hear anything more about any repercussions besides the midget is all offended?    http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2009/Pedrosa+slams+De+Angelis

It really didn't look like a typical spot to highside to me...but I'm scared of highsiding. Wink

I never thought you couldn't crash one with electronics.

Looked like Pedrosa spun his tire and lost the drive coming off the corner, and DeAngelis had a run going on him.
Racing incident as far as I saw it.

It sucks that there was contact, the 'bot being hurt and all, but I don't think DeAngelis meant to do it.

yeah steve parish the bbc comentator said that too and they showed you the replay from lots of angles and it looks like he had no drive out of the corner. de nagelis wasnt expecting him to still be there when he got there.

from motogp.com
Pedrosa was enraged by the incident and although De Angelis was asked to give an explanation to officials after the race he was not sanctioned.

Yeah, at that level of racing you can't park the thing at an apex like that and expect nothing to happen. IMO it just shows what a spoiled little be-artch Pedrosa is that he complained afterwards. The guy really has no redeeming features.

Does anyone know why Edwards and Toseland are mad at each other again?
