Correction on Spies, not a highside, per se. His swingarm broke.  That's unbelievable. Talk about bad luck! I'd be shocked if Rossi stays, $17M or not. |

Yeah... If Rossi stays I think everyone will be pretty shocked.
And seriously... that's ridiculous that his swingarm collapsed. I cant imagine what else can really go wrong for Ben this year.

I believe that Rossi will stay...
There is only one thing he can do at Ducati....move forward and win, which he will eventually do if Audi gives him carte blanche. He already has the money and fame.....pretty much like Schumacher in F1.
On the other hand, moving to Yamaha: he will be No. 2 and what will happen if he doesn't win again? Is he going to blame the bike then?

Well, there's 8 more races, and IIRC, Ben hasn't been torpedoed by Bautista yet.
Sounds like Rossi is getting tired of his head bouncing off the track in pursuit of 8th place.

Speaking of Rossi... if you look REALLY close, you can see his shattered pride. If only my phone had a zoom on it's camera.  I'm glad I got a good spot on the corkscrew. |

How the hell do you snap a swingarm? Could Ben have any worse luck? At this moment I will stop speculating as to where Rossi goes. Before Germany everyone thought he would leave, then after Mugelo everyone said he would stay, now he's gone again.

How the hell do you snap a swingarm? maybe it was damaged in the QP off and it was overlooked? |

2 passes all race.
No moto2/3.
Top 3 places separated by seconds.
Rossi and Spies having strange outs.
Leguna sucked this year!

Really hope Rossi leaves Ducati. That's still my wish. Glad Dovi did good job again. Awesome job by Stoner. I do like his go for it 100% style as opposed to Lorenzo's riding style AND way too calculated about overall championship. That's where Stoner is awesome and a true racer. That cork screw - how the f do they do it. Just amazing. Looking forward to actually going to Indy and watching my first GP race in person  |
