Given how close The Three Enemigos™ are so far, I wish that the championship was already decided.
See them duke it out without all the drama.

But there's sheep stations to play for, so we'll see how it all shakes out.

Love seeing MM hang it out around T13.  waytogo

Any bets on whether MM tosses it away in Sat practice and hurts himself?  Maybe not a big hurt, but he seems to looooooove those FP crashes.

I think he's got *just* enough self control to keep it shiny side up.

But he is 20, and seems to bounce quite nicely.

Lorenzo's using everything in his bag of trix.
'Cause it's the last year it'll do him any good.

My god, MM's qualifying lap looked like he was riding really loose.  That bike was all over the place.

How does someone (besides JLo and Pedrobot) not like MM. He only needs 4th, but puts it on pole!  bow down

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.

Am I the only one that has the feeling that MM has a 50/50 chance of tossin' it into the kitty litter?

There really is no drama on the track.  Unless he bins it (doubtful), MM is the 2013 MotoGP champion, and in the history books.  The only thing of interest at Valencia is Rossi and Burgess (interesting how Val can steal so much thunder with a simple press release), and further down the road, Stoner and Burgess with a couple of factory Honda RC213V in the garage. Bye Bye Pedobot (at the end of your contract), the promise was never fulfilled.  
















I'll admit there is a part of me that want Crutchlow to T-bone MM into the kitty litter, but that's because I'm playing Motostorm right now.

Aside from the GP race, I can not wait for the Moto3 race.  That could be the best race of the year.  Also with regards to MM only needing fourth...  I would never expect him to take it easy or any other racer just because they don't need to win.  Racers go for it and only settle if its clear they don't have the package on race day.  Nobody wants to celebrate a championship off the podium.

I think MM will take it easy in the sense that he won't make too risky of a move to grab the lead (he already showed that in the last race). But if he thinks he can win relatively safely, then I see him going for it.

No one wants to celebrate off the podium, but no one wants to cry over losing a championship in the kitty litter either.

Jorge can claim all he wants, but the fact is, while he may be capable of winning the race tomorrow...

the championship is not his to win...

only Marquez' to lose.

And that's what they've been doing all season.

Fighting race by race for the championship. Grin

I keep waiting for Pedrosa to pull the ole "Repsol Teammate Torpedo" move again.


Been a while since we've seen that one, little guy.
