oh my. why not just change motors to the Panigale, and call it a CRT, at least we'd be on top of that heap then.

Just one more lap and Stoner would have gifted Dani much needed points.  Lorenzo almost threw away his championship on that last turn.  Not really any passing, just a bunch of crashing.  Lorenzo's soft tire pick backfired and I somewhat feel he got bailed out because of his team's decision.  He said his back tire was gone at the press conference and his own pace dropping might have played a bit into the calling of the race at the time they did it.

Pedro really missed a chance to close it up tight.

Am I evil for wanting Whoreghey to take a header in that lap? He wasn't going that fast anyway. If there would have been a restart, would they have allowed them to change tires? In the end, Jorge would have slowed down considerably, but still kept it upright. I wonder how many places he would have lost. Yamaha would have had a fit if race direction would have kept it going.

[thought]

I hate speedtv. Got, looking forward to watching the race... And they never aired it.  They just replayed motegi.

I don't understand the reasoning behind who does their programming.

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.

[thought]

Those bastards... Couldn't even put a little banner on the bottom saying they were airing later?
