MotoGP Round 8 - Mugello (SPOILERS)

[MadDuck]

There's a distinct possibility that Simo could take out Stoner and/or Spies.............

Simo could crush Pedrosa's baby hand. Pedrosa walks around like a sullen child.

Although Simo is a bit reckless, he's a hard arse. I like that, a bit mad like Elias (remember how he carved up Rossi and Rossi whined like a twelve year old. I support Stoner but I wish he just smacked Rossi in the mouth without a word. Same with Lorenzo to Simo. Hell a E5000- fine is small change to these guys. Maybe they are scared of the big fella.
Instead of whining to the press, these guys should fight it out like men. Bloody bubble wrap generation.. In my day (oh where's that ol' fart smiley)..

Schwantz, Rainey and Doohen  (and Mladin for that matter) would have made these guys shit themselves. I think Simo and Spies wouldn't have been intimidated though.

I don't have a problem with angry young men getting into fights because they are so motivated and pushing to the limit, it's nature, (I was young once), but whining looks so weak.

premonitions:

1.Lorenzo
2.Stoner
3. Dovi

close but off a little

I was pulling for Dovi but he screwed up my prediction.

And hats off to Spies for trying to out brake Sic on the outside at the end of the strait. Ballsy move. I was sure Sic was going to make him his next victim.

good race 

amazing... RdP finished!

yeah, well... probably 15 minutes after everyone else at that pace

little rant, what's with Speed showing a million different angles of a relatively unremarkable start every 2 minutes?

[Triple J]

Finally...a decent race!

Great ride by JLo.  I thought Stoner had it in the bag.

Agree, but I don't think that's Speed's decision since they're just running the feed. That was some shit editing with respect to commercials and race action though...not to mention they don't show the interviews anymore.

+1

Mad props to Spies for walking the line with Super Sic that entire race.

Good battle between Lorenzo and Dovi too 

[Jester]

Was really nice to see Lorenzo/Dovi track down Stoner and keep this championship tight.     I'd imagine the Yamaha will do well in Germany and hopefully close this up even more.

[The Architect]

When Lorendoody passed Stoner, I thought, if one takes out the other, the crying would be endless!  Months of whining, tears and pouting.  The season would end and they would still be at it, relentless whining.  Their fans would leave, their families would abandon them and the writers would run out of ink.  Fortunately for us it was a clean pass and a good race.

It was finally a good race!! Supposedly the Germany is not a great track for the Yammies, but we'll see. Whoreghey road a great race to keep Stoner in sight and Dovi make the beast with two backsing showed balls!! Finally!!

If Rossi can simply put together a decent qualy he might have been battling for 4th. If he didn't have to battle through most of the field at least he might have a chance against Simo and Ben.

[lazylightnin717]

Apparently

It's not that simple to put together a good qualy

I'm giving up hope. Maybe next year he can make me happy again

You have to stick with your racers even during the bad times.  Just enjoy the infusion of young talent into the motogp class while we wait on the Duc and Rossi to get sorted out together.  The upside is that if they ever bring the Duc up to par, then half the field that rides them will also turn in better performances.
