Mugello GP

Actually now the cat is out of the bag so to speak, it wasn't a case of Lorenzo letting Pedrosa go, Midget just kicked arse! Lorenzo wasn't well pleased either. I think like most people Lorenzo thought he had that in the bag with Rossi temporarily out of the way and yeah Stoner's placing wasn't too bad but the best part of 30 seconds off the pace.

Yeah i guess you are right as Pedrosa did set a new track record on the 5th lap so Pedrosa did have better pace all race.

Yeah go Spies right up there and he had never ridden the track!!
Go you little champ!

Thank god stoner managed a 4th, he doesnt seem very confident at the moment

Pedrosa was awesome, like they said, thats the ideal situation for him, if he can get out front and charge hard its all over!
Lorenzo was so shitty ahhahaha kind of funny, could have at least congratulated pedrosa!

Well Pedrobot was wickedly fast & Horehey must of been pissed cause he didn't even shake Pedrobots hand after the race,. The battle for 4th was good, but something has got to be done about the camera's, there's a battle on the last lap for 4th where someone could possibly crash & get hurt & all the camera focus is on 2nd & 3rd place crossing the line (watching on P2P network).
Wouldn't it be awesome if the TV viewer could change switch between camera's so yo can watch what you want.
Any way that Moto 2 was awesome stuff

And another KBer has bet me a carton of beer that Edwards will beat Spies. Think I'm gonna have lots of beer. Still think Spies will win a race too. Be good for him at Silverstone where nobody knows the track. He was getting pretty close to the battle for forth this time...

Don't forget the carton on Spies to win going away at Laguna.... that cancels out the carton on Edwards... I hope... I have your health to consider!

Personally I thought that despite a great start Spies quickly looked ragged and out of his depth. Dropped through the pack and only held onto the distant coat tails of the battle for fourth becuase the other three were actually racing over the position. He was given the opportunity, at least twice, to use De Puniet to draft up but couldn't do it. How this translates to a possible race winner completely bewilders me... but I suppose even more people could fall off.

The loss of Rossi must completely change the mindset of the other pretenders to the throne. Lorenzo's got everything to lose, Pedroza's got his best ever opportunity and a bike that's coming to him... and Stoner's going to be in turmoil over his poor start to the season. Interesting times.

The way I see it is...Spies is only gonna get faster. It's odd that you don't rate him. A lot of people in the know certainly do.

Bloody good of you to be looking out for my health though...but yeah...I still think Spies will do the bizzo at Laguna.

What I think will be really interesting this year is who goes where at seasons end. 2011 will be great, with new combinations hopefully everywhere.
