Crap move by crutchlow on Nicky in first lap or 2.
There was a lot of that going on today
My favorite was when Crutchlow, Dovi, and Hayden all stuffed it straight past Pedrosa all in one turn
It was a shame to see Pedro blow past Nicky down the straight though
And I don't care what anybody says. Nicky had a make the beast with two backsing fantastic weekend. He rode the piss outta' that donkey dick bike he has and deserves some credit for being so persistent. He didn't look very happy right after the race and rightfully so..

Really strong effort by Crutchlow. Kind of thinking he might end up on Ben's bike next year if he keeps this up.

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.

Oh, unless Ben starts performing, I'd fully expect that.

I really thought the big bikes would suit Ben, so I don't understand it.
Doohan was commentating down here and said Crutchlow is a real character and very marketable in Britain. He noted him as a real threat to Ben's position. Even Doohan couldn't understand Ben's results.

I think Rossi is done. I doubt we'll see him win another race in straight up conditions, and he may never get another podium without help.
Hayden looked fantastic early...shame to see him fade.
Cal has really turned it around this year. If he keeps it up I think Ben is in trouble, unless he turns it around...which I don't see.
Stoner was awesome, as was JLo. Too bad JLo couldn't mount a last lap charge.
Good race overall though!

I was also pleased with the Moto2 race....though I think if it had not been spitting...Redding would have been a clear choice for the podium/win with Marquez chasing him...it was just nutz to watch him slide and square off the turns they way he was...made me think Marquez was going to make a bad situation by trying to stuff it up the inside of him in one of those turns when doing that...
I was also really happy to see Nicky fight at the beginning like that...tis a shame that the soft tire just gave up the way it did as fast as it did...it gave me a glimmer of hope that maybe Ducati have taken the steps in the right direction...just gotta fine tune and hone it all into place...

I have not had a chance to see Moto2.
Rossi and the Ben are screwed. Watching their teammates do well ruin their credibility. Granted, Nicky fell off quite a ways, but at least he has been battling. The Ben is up shit's creek. Arguably the most sorted out bike with 1 factory and 2 satellites on the top 5. At least people expect the Ducs to suck.

rossi's comments actually confirm what i've been thinking for a while; that he hasn't been using the same setup as nicky. they've still been trying to "fix" the "unfixable" bike.
we'll see what happens in portugal.
fwiw, nicky looked pretty defeated in his post-race interview. he said the tires were trashed after 7 laps and he's obviously not happy that he couldn't even beat bradl.

What he said.
The Ben should start shopping WSBK rides if this keeps up.
Riding a CRT bike would be even worse... Edwards might be lapping him!
That's pretty bad when your teammate is battling for the lead and the Tech 3 boys are kicking your ass on sattelite bikes and all you can do is say I'm sorry to your team and you don't know what was going on with the bike? Huh? Ben... it's either you or the bike. Pick one. And that comes from a fan! Maybe you should stick with bicycle racing?
That's a joke people. Hope he gets it together.

You know, I get that MotoGP is the big league, the brass ring, yadda yadda yadda.
Moto2 and Moto3 have made the subscription worth the price to me and we're only 2 races into the season.
Getting ready to watch the MotoGP now.

Right now, for me, moto2/wsbk are currently the top tier moto racing series... motogp is just too meh. But then again, it was the change to moto2 that made it so great so I'm just holding out that some of these new changes will start to pan out in the future... we're already seeing better racing as it is though.
And it's interesting that Rossi is finally saying that he has to change riding styles for the bike. Will be interesting to see if he/his crew can adapt.

Going back to 1000cc was a good idea.
we've never been on 1000cc bikes before.

that was the most exciting first 3 laps of a GP in a long, long time. i saw around lap 6 when his tires started to go.. so depressing.

well, ben doesn't understand ben's results either. maybe jarvis is loosening some bolts on the grid.
i'm disappointed in his riding this time just like everyone else, but this aint him.. he'll get it sorted. i hope.
moto2 was great as usual. and watch out world for romano fenati

Agree with the comment above, moto2 is almost worth the 120 Euro a year by itself.

Sorry, but I still don't see how Moto2 is any better than the old 250ccGP class. That was some awesome racing in it's day too!
Don't mean to sound like an old fart (hard not to!
) but I haven't thought much of "MotoGP" since they left the 500cc 2 stroke days. Just saying. Talk amongst yourselves...
