loved it when he went through that whole charade and then broke the flag stick

[Spidey]

If I didn't want to kick Pedrosa in the johnson so passionately, I'd dislike Lorenzo more.

[gm2]

i just have no feeling about him.  i respect the hell out of his riding, and especially how he has turned his GP career and potential around so thoroughly.  it's just that everything about him off-track causes me to forget i'm watching.  not that that really matters.

[Triple J]

You guys are rough! I like Lorenzo quite a bit. He's a great rider, seems to have a sense of humor, and is clearly enjoying himself out there. 

[Spidey]

Didja every watch him in 250s?  He was such an arrogant prick.  He's been a ton better since he hit the MotoGP grid, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth about him.  Thankfully, there's douchebot out there for me heap spite upon, so Lorenzo basically gets a pass.  I do find his 'celebrations' a bit silly.  Only Rossi gets to be Rossi. 

One of things I find amazing about him is his form on the bike.  It can sometimes look a bit 'off' in some pictures, but if you watch him ride on video, his back is perfectly parallel to the centerline of the bike.   

[Triple J]

I saw him in the 250s every so often, but I didn't follow that series closely so never saw him being arrogant.

he camped at all the events b/c he couldn't get his head through any standard doorway.

[El Matador]

I've followed his career since he started. I used to dislike him waaay back when he started because he has the life I wish I had. The dude is my age and we come from very similar backgrounds and upbringings, as well as personalities (anyone who has met me can attest to the fact that I am a pompous ass). But he has an incredible work ethic and a shit ton of heart. I mean, the dude rode with two fractured ankles and a severely sprained wrist and still managed fourth. He has trouble communicating in english, if you heard him in spanish you would realize he's a lot more laid back than what he comes off as in English. And truly, if anyone is enjoying himself on the paddock is him, and RDP and Kallio. The rest of the riders make it seem like a job, they look like they're actually having fun.

I'd put Edwards on that list too.

[El Matador]

I almost put him, but the last few races he geniunely seems like he does not want to be there. I know he's been having some setup issues but he's starting to look like 2010 Haga, would rather be anywhere but there.

he knows he's one of the old dogs but any racer at that level has a pretty healthy ego.. sense of self-worth, whatever you want to call it.

last year he was the #1 satellite guy.  this year the guy sharing his garage is also drinking his milkshake.

which is enough to piss a guy off...

but I disagree with Jesus about him seeming like he doesn't want to be there.

[fastwin]

All do respect Jesus but I agree. I think Colin has his head screwed on right. He's an old pro, been there, done that. He'll soldier through it all and at the same time help mentor The Ben. He has always come across as that kind of guy. Rossi loved him as a teammate (from what I read) and assuredly helped him stay with Yammyhammer on Tech 3. He, like Stoner, is having no fun on the track this year but I doubt they'd rather be somewhere else. I see Edwards there for at least a couple more years on some team. After that I want to go to his central TX ranch and do one of his "camps"!!!

I really hope you're right. I'd hate to see him end up like Haga. And I really, really want to go to one of his camps as well.
