Because, you are hands down the beast racer in this era.  Wink Oh and after coming off a major injury.

I would dare to say -- excluding Rossi, who's bike is faster in the straights but a pig in the turns -- that Dani, Yorghey, and Crutchlow are better racers....lots of fellows can slide the ass-end of a motorcycle around a turn  Evil

What a lot of armchair / keyboard racers seem to forget ( all too easily ) is that these guys are the best in the world. Taking a potshot on the internet doesn't take anything but a moment of time.  We should be awestruck instead.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

We were debating who is the better racer...

says a lot about both the CRTs and the ducati. RdP was respectably up in the field during the session.

Lorenzo has a plan, however. At the press conference, the Factory Yamaha man told the media his plan was to latch onto the back of Stoner from the start and try to match his pace for the first couple of laps. That should be enough to break Pedrosa, and manage a gap all the way home.

Not to wish misfortune on Lorenzo, but I hope he does that, as it would end in tears, and then it'd all be to play for at Valencia.

True. Lorenzo said he would try to use Stoner as a "reference (point)" tto get away from Pedrosa. He showed considerable respect and sportsmanship in his attitude.

At PI, losing half a second per lap is on the average an 80 foot gap.

There's no draft at 80 feet behind, and the gap will be ~150 feet at the end of the straight.

That's getting left for dead.

Pedrosa is cursed to never win a premier class championship.
Poor little bugger.
He tried just a bit too hard going into Honda Corner.

Great to see Crutchlow on the podium, you gotta like the guy.

I was still happy for Lorenzo, he's become a decent fellow with maturity.

Stoner once again showed his freakish skill, 6 straight. It's a "riders track".
On the Aussie telecast, Stoner was given a beer holder by a fan that had a sexy picture of his wife Adrianna. It read, "Casey Stoner, I'd stay home too"! He really liked it and laughed. The TV station didnt show the picture.

Stoner owns PI  bow down

Congrats to JLo

The turd was an idiot for getting out in front of Stoner and thinking he could hold him off.

Good going Crutchlow!

Why would they even show Abraham and Rossi battling? That's just embarrassing

Now can't wait to watch Moto2 when my kid takes his nap

Yeah, taking the only opportunity to even sniff a championship and running with it makes him an idiot.    Why would you not go for broke if you found yourself in front.  The only way Pedro even thinks about championship is winning out and/or hoping Jorge crashes.  Give the guy credit for his year and showing everyone more racecraft and balls than anyone will give him credit for.
