Not that I'm a fan of his but Danny boy better ride like his ass is on fire.  Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain if others have any kind of bad luck.

WELL...I don't think he is far from it....

....When sitting on the bike I have quite a lot of pain, as the seat is very hard, so we shall see if a few more anti-inflammatories can help to alleviate the issue. We might also add a small cushion underneath my leathers, in order to absorb the bumps that we get when riding"...

The kid is amazing...

Tough conditions for qualifying, but Marquez found a way to go even faster.

Dani?? stick a fork in him already.

Not so fast my friend. The Turd of old showed up today. He checked out early.

Lorenzo rode like Marquez trying to get in his head and the kid most likely loved everything second.

Sepang is cursed. Just watched the Moto2 "incident". Just in case anyone has not watched, no one was seriously injured, but it was quite a nasty domino effect of 4 bikes.

Boy, was I ever wrong.

Great race for the first few laps.

Nicky looked like he wanted to kick the Duc.

[gm2]

you just go ahead and run your mouth about the "show", george.


how the hell mm got that bike stopped and turned into 15 i'll never know.  freakin amazing.

[gm2]

pretty sure hopkins got in trouble for doing that in '06  

[Triple J]

+1 JLo is a hypocritical douche.

Great race for the 1st half...the JLo/MM battle was awesome! 

Excellent showing by Pedrobot.  Raux?

Raux has left the building...

Jorge has no other choice but to get rough with the kid at this point. 

[gm2]

Jorge has no other choice but to get rough with the kid at this point. 

yep, his only choice is to try to force MM to stay behind him.  that aint gonna happen   


i wonder if he'll close this out next weekend.

While it isn't a mathematical certainty...

I'm not seeing anyone taking it away.

It's up to the kid to lose it, and he shows no signs of cracking.

From crash.ent  The contest finally ended when Marquez claimed the runner-up position from Lorenzo with an inside move of his own at the turn leading onto the back straight. Lorenzo tried to brave it out around the outside, but was forced to back off when Marquez drifted out to the kerb on the exit. It was only that pass that Lorenzo felt was borderline.

“It was different [to the pass where they did touch] because then he left me room and I thought I have to try [on the inside]. But at Turn 14 he didn't leave me space and if I didn't close the throttle we could have touched. The other passes were clean.”
-----------------------

Seriously?!?  Jorge's lone complaint about MM's riding this weekend was a pass where MM didn't even touch him?  George basically said "he ran it so wide that I had to check up and I couldn't pass him.  It was unfair that he blocked me, and therefore it's not 'clean' racing."    My Lord.  This isn't high-speed knitting or your weekly 200 mph book club, you doucheball.  It's make the beast with two backsin' motorcycle racing.
