Pedrobot...Still hate the guy but his crash and subsequent finish gained him ALOT of respect in my book. Crashing and remounting in 17th to finish 10th is no trivial feat. But he is still an emotionless lump.
But he's always spoken so highly of you.

Rossi crash...the way the wind blows into that end of the track tends to dump alot of silt and sand and dirt onto that little straight between 1 and 2. Rossi said that he got out onto a "dirty" part of the track and the front ent just let go. You could see how the dust was pushed to the outside of that corner and he was running wide and hit the dirt.
Pedrobot...Still hate the guy but his crash and subsequent finish gained him ALOT of respect in my book. Crashing and remounting in 17th to finish 10th is no trivial feat. But he is still an emotionless lump. And his handler, Puig, is still a douchenozzle.
Lorenzo...like the guy...sorta. Saw him mature alot this race. He made a very good pass on Rossi and props to him for the win. I need to post up the pics of his wheelie coming onto pit lane after his victory lap. CLASSIC!
Nicky...Props to the kid. He held off a very determine Dovi for the final podium spot. That was probably one of the better battles going on after Rossi crashed out. He is a very modest guy from what I saw "backstage" in the pits.
Colin...He came up to our suite for a while before the 125 race and talked a bit about things. He said his bike wasn't feeling right in warmup and his post race interview confirms it. He definitely wasn't on pace with even Dovi or Nicky after the Rossi crash. Don't think I have ever met a more fun rider to chat with. When he first got up to the suite, no one was talking to him at all but I went over to him and started chatting with him about his dethroning of the Ducs while he was in WSBK...after that, he signed my pit pass, my Road RacerX magazine article about him and took a few pics with me and me and the umbrella girls. I then talked to him a bit about the track asking how he liked it etc since I do track days but would never have a chance to ride it. He showed genuine interest in my track bike and which tracks I had ridden. Wish the guy could have finished better.
Kevin Schwantz...the guy chatted with me and my roommate for like 25 minutes after the MotoGP race. He signed our tickets and also gave me props on my choice of track bikes. Hehe. Very down to earth and one of the easiest racers to just chat with.
Kel Carruthers...I think he was shocked I actually knew who he was and wanted his autograph. Chatted with him for about 15 minutes while waiting for Rossi and he is most likely the reason Rossi signed my helmet and took a picture with me. Rossi laughed when I called him il Maestro and bowed to him. I peed myself.
Vermulen and Capirossi...those guys are pretty danged cool. Capirossi Hi5ed me as he rode by me on his scooter. I peed next to Vermulen.
King Kenny...Meh...I suppose he has every right to be douchebaggy...but why would you be?
All in all it was a great weekend. I took over 1000 pics. Will have to get them sorted and some posted up...
I'm jealous...
sounds like fun.
Kenny?...I met him in '73 I think...before he was crowned. He had a pretty high opinion of himself then too. Douchbaggy? I guess that is the way he comes across.

Relative of Kenny Roberts?
Seriously, you have this same response to anyone who expresses an opinion of Pedrosa. I stood no more than 5 feet from the man while he took pictures with fans and his expression was always the same even after setting a track record... :| While EVERY other rider in the paddock was ear to ear grins while taking pics with fans. The guy is a literal flatline.
Seriously, troll elsewhere. I have tried to respect you but shit like this makes me realize you aren't worth it.
No, Pedro doesn't give a make the beast with two backs about what me or you or even the make the beast with two backsing pope has to say about him. So I guess you are right. Your e-peen must be swollen with joy right now.

No I'm not.
So because he doesn't have a big goofy smile on his face this makes him a bad person, or less of a professional MotoGP racer?

Does anyone else think Rossi crashed cause he was pushing to keep up with Lorenzo? Trying too hard to strike back right away.

I believe he is pushing all the time, as well as the rest of the field.

I would believe that...so he could tactically analyze his moves and placements to know where and when he was going to take the race back....
as a racer, it is their job to push...even if it is in the form of pushing the guy in front of them with pressure of showing a wheel or letting them know you are right there in some variant fashion....as far as him getting out into the dirty part of the track...my guess is that it wasn't intentional to get into the dirtyness per sey, but to play with lines and placements while sizing up Jorge' for later on...
ZLTFUL- nice write up...thanks...I look forward to the pics...and in regards to Pedro-Bot....for me, I just don't like it when he tries to smile because it reminds me of when Christina Ricci was playing Wednesday Addams and does that nervous not quite right scary smile to make even more of an Eddie Munster look to himself than he already has....

I have to know, just what kind of track bike is this that everyone loves?

August is (was) a slow month for racing, so everybody goes nuts. The real fireworks happen during the winter

i definitely thought the same thing when watching the race. we all know rossi has done that many'a time. but based on some of his comments after the race, i'm not so sure. he never really found set-up that weekend.
then again, we also all know they could put him on a buell and he'd still be able to haunt jorgey into a mistake.

I'n glad someone else thinks so. I said it at the time and everyone looked at me like I was an idiot. It made me
As Lorenzo went for the pass, it looked like Rossi had a moment when he was trying to decide whether to fight for the apex or whether to let him by and follow. It looked to me like he made the conscious decision to follow, though I'm not sure at that point Rossi coulda held off Lorenzo's pass if he tried.
BTW, for you old school DMLers, someone told me that AllyCat was in the same bar watching the race too. Blast from the past, eh? I've never met her so I couldn't be sure.
