I think we can all agree that it was going to eventually be  stopped. The 2 reasons everyone is upset is because of Whoreghey's incessant waving and that he would have needed to either pull in to change the tire or risk falling on his ass. I think another lap would have seen him pit, which would have narrowed his championship lead considerably, forcing him to actually try to win the last races.

EXACTLY!

i know, i totally get it.  and i can't believe i'm (sorta) arguing for george.  but putting your hand up twice isn't incessant and he was doing it because the race really should have been stopped.  he may be a douche but he was a correct douche at the time.

as for the math, there are many possible combinations.. depends on where pedro finishes, if stoner wins at PI, blah blah.  if pedro got 2nd at PI and jorge got third, the differential would be down to 19.  so then pedro could win at valencia and jorge would only have to finish as high as 9th.  if i'm counting backwards correctly

1st 25 points
2nd 20 points
3rd 16 points
4th 13 points
5th 11 points
6th 10 points
7th 9 points
8th 8 points
9th 7 points
10th 6 points
11th 5 points
12th 4 points
13th 3 points
14th 2 points
15th 1 point

So, if we assume that Dani wins by some miracle both races, that means that Lorenzo only needs to score 28 points in the last 2 races he would need to average 3rd place to win the championship.

If Dani comes in 2nd in PI, then with 45 points, Lorenzo would need only 23 points to clinch, which means average of 4th place. If he comes in 3rd in PI, 9th place in Valencia would win it, like gm mentions above. So best solution would be for Bautista to torpedo him again at Valencia.

logic would seem to indicate that is currently possible.  but i have a hard time not seeing stoner take PI, injured or not

Stoner being injured would only mean that he won't win by more than 5 seconds.

Weird. My Directv dvr recording had the Maylasian/Sepang GP on the playlist guide but when I clicked on it to play it just showed me a repeat of the Japanese Motegi MotoGP. bang head WTF? Our Directv dvr seems to be haunted and the wifely unit keeps ragging on me to call Directv and demand a new one... I thinks it's about time. Angry I won't like losing all the other stuff I have recorded by getting a new one but I think the time has come. popcorn

SpeedTV DID air the race!
The first 15-20 minutes was replay of Motegi but then they cut to Sepang. I almost deleted the show after seeing they were replaying Motegi, but luckily I fast forwarded it and saw that they did cover the race.

That's why I always record the race twice, allowing an extra hour or so for the live recording.  Speed will generally show it live early in the morning and then on delay later in the day.  I can't tell ya how many times the live version has been messed up b/c of a red flag or something else.

Despite the fact that he bathes in animal feces, George should have thrown up his hand (and the other riders agree).  I've got no problem with it.

I honestly dunno if Stoner will win at PI.  He *should*, but he's fighting with the bike and is still seriously messed up.

granted it's not free (or, 'free'), but coverage is still far better on motogp.com

stoner, i agree.  but i can't see him not killing himself to do it.  i bet he could give a shit about valencia.

Considering his attitude at the post race conference, he clearly doesn't give a shit about helping Dani win a championship.  Stoner will find a way to win PI or make Dani work very hard for it.  I was hoping he'd say something about almost overtaking Jorge and helping Dani, but he essentially douched on both of them saying he could have won and he's faster than anyone in the wet.

He was probably stating facts in a very douchelike fashion.

Thanks for that heads up. Guess I bailed too soon... luckily I didn't delete it so I will watch it again tonight and fast forward through the Motegi coverage. waytogo

in all of this i forgot about 1 very important thing: there's a decent chance that george will have to start one of these last 2 races from pit lane.
