Well said.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

I was referring more to the fact that Rossi gave him a big ol' hug as if something went down on the track between the two that we didn't see. They didn't air much of the two during the race on Moto GP.

I think that was Vale being Vale and nothing more.  Also, I don't think Nicky was upset with Vale, just himself and the overall situation.  He has said many times that Laguna is a terribly special place for him.  As DP stated, he has won there twice before and he considers it to be his home GP (even though Indy is closer to Kentucky).  I think he was just disappointed overall, and the camera just caught it at the "right" moment.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

From the turn 4 grandstands I never saw anything happen between Nicky and Rossi. Nicky got closer towards the end, but never close enough to do more than maybe show him a wheel in the last lap or two. Nicky would close in on the brakes and stay close through the middle of the corner but Rossi's bike seemed to drive out of the corners a little better to me. They are both lucky Bautista crashed because he was just about to blaze right through them.

My opinion of Karel Abraham went up quite a bit. He rode hard and well and was very polite and friendly in the paddock - opposite of Pedrosa (and Stoner and Lorenzo). Friendliest guy in the paddock: Marco Simoncelli! He seemed happy to be there and always at least waved to the fans. Even riding out of pit lane he would give a wave to the fans.

J Lo seemed friendly in the pits to me. I saw him sign quite a few autographs before the Sunday morning practice...despite limping badly from his highside Saturday.

If you dig through Soup you can find Nicky saying basically this.  Upset at the situation of finishing 30 seconds behind winner at his home track.

Read that article. The 800s seem to be suffering from increasingly poor image among just about everyone.

Can't say none of them have points, though.

Glad to hear that. We were not in that area between the garages and tent-offices all the time by any means. Quite a bit though, including late afternoon Sunday. Maybe just bad timing. Mostly I just wanted to say how fan-friendly Simoncelli was. Most of the rest weren't too far behind. It was great.
