Next race is 12/10/14 it's not like it's next weekend, and he has had a brain scan so it's not like they're behaving precipitately.

Any word on Miller? The internets is failing me.

Marquez tweeted this (and I flogged it off ADVRider).
Pedrosa: Nakamoto wants to see us.
Marquez: You go in first since you fell first.
Pedrosa: Let's go in together since we both shit the bed.
Of an enviable height
Miller's view - ”In the crash, Marquez had tried to overtake me on the straight but did not have the pace to do so. On the entry to the corner I was on the dry line and went in normally. I knew Marquez would try to block off inside corner, but he did not cut the gas and made me fall off the bike. Sometimes these things happen -it’s racing. Sauce
What a load of shit.
A) Lex was on the dry too.
B) Why Miller thinks Lex should have cut the gas is a mystery considering that Lex made it through the corner just fine, despite having an Australian bounce off him.
Seems to me like Jack thought he was in front enough, that by 'cutting the gas' and tightening his line, Lex would baulk and be forced to cut too.
Only one flaw in Miller's plan... Lex was beside him, not behind him.

Little lesson there for Miller,the other guys can be tough too.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

That is my thoughts too, I think Marquez could have cut the gas but had no obligation to do so. I have watched the crash a few times and it seemed he did push wide when he hit the gas causing him to clip Miller, but Miller was also committed to keeping to his line. Racing incident, I just find it strange that there has been nothing released about race directions decision. I think they would have just called the boys in and told them to sort out there shit.

Both of them getting called to the Principles office after the last race was probably to keep things calm more than anything. An incident like that can escalate if if the wrong things are said. So Mike Webb was probably just making sure they both know it was just a racing incident and there's nothing worth going ballistic over.
Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

Especially considering how sharp they have to be to be riding the fucking things.

Damn straight. You deserve it!JTFC you couldn't have scripted that. But a podium is a podium

Well what a bloody night eh!! Managed to stay away from the result whooohooo!!
I thought Miller was squeezed and had nowhere to go, Marquez drifted out but its hard to see! They certainly have got those blue bikes going well!
Been saying for a few races now Miller has to race to win and not for the championship (as the impression has been) or he's going to loose it???
Gutted for Rossi it would have been his sorta race at the end. I see he had concussion and checked himself out of the hospital now resting up.

Was shouting at Lorenzo to come in at least a lap before he did "Dumb arse" was what was being said but it worked out for him in the end
Shit that bike went quick on Pedro he didn't stand a chance? What happened? I saw him running toward pits and wondered if he was allowed to come in and swap without being on the crashed bike? Then it seems as though they where saying he went back and got it and finished 14th, bit confused there??
Well the Dumb arse in the end was MM I guess?
I thought before the rain he actually slowed to get DP in front of Lorenzo then tried to drag him away. Was thinking great team stuff.
Then it got really interesting! Bloody lucky he didn't wreck himself hangin onto that bike in the gravel trap.
Why the fuck put a slippery strip of astro turf between the back of the ripple strip and run off areas seems bloody stupid to me??? Caused mayhem!!
All three classes great racing, Drama filled & still no news on Miller and any judgement?
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Overnight:
Race Direction announce Miller prang a racing incident. That took a while.
Suzuki announce Vinales and Espagero A to be factory riders. An aggressive, talented pair. Feel sorry for Randy de P though, he must be distraught. (I hate the word "gutted",). The GP bike is to be called GSX-RR. Nice touch. The 2015 GSX-R can be had in the same paint job.

As I understand it, Pedro got the crashed bike going, rode round to the pits and swapped it for his No.2 bike. As did MM.
Forum whore
GSXR is a marketing name Suzuki have stuck with since 1985

Yeah that crash could have been a lot worse, happened in a split second, can't imagine riding on slicks in the wet is much fun at all. Amazing that the bike can slide for that long and still be ride-able. I thought he was running to the pits too, perhaps they turned him back and that's why he was so far back from MM.
