So the answer to the question of who would challenge Lorenzo is being answered by the Turd.

Fixed.

I don't need to go to the crystal ball for this one.  It's going to be a boring race.

i think somebody from the team said the bike was spinning up at the start of the race and when that subsided, it was pushing everywhere.

however, it was really hard to heard that mid-race interview.

Smoked the clutch off the line. By the time she came back I thought top 5 or nothing. Gravel was on the menu today!

Except for the last lap, another snoozer. I still can't believe I keep hoping that the Turd keeps it up and passes Lorenzo for the championship.

Yeah.  The last lap was definitely a good one.  Nice to see the lead change hands multiple times like that.  Shame Stoner wasn't able to be there, as I would have loved to see three bikes fighting it out.

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.

“The crash today was no other fault than myself, I was trying to get back into a rhythm and catch the group in front of me because I could see they were coming back and I had a good lap times for coming through. I’m really disappointed not just for me but for the team as they’ve done an excellent job this weekend, we’ve showed speed and motivation all weekend which is hard to do after Laguna and Indy. The race was really over for me before turn one because the clutch overheated off the line. It was no one’s fault; we checked the data and my practice starts are identical to my race starts. We checked the clutch and there is nothing wrong with it, it just overheated and took over two laps to cool down enough to give it 100% by which time the race was over. I still tried to get the best out of it I could and just made a small mistake.”

I say one of the best dry races since Rossi v Lorenzo at Catalunya.  Very similar race in a way.  I was jumping out of my chair for Pedro.  I hope he gets his championship.  Pedro beating Lorenzo like that is vital for MotoGP with Stoner retiring.

I guess it's gonna be these two guys going at it alone for the rest of the season. Way to close it out Pedrosa.  applause
