    While reading various racing websites yesterday I came across a comment from some dude who thought Bautista was not good enough to be in MotoGP.

    The odd weather circumstances not withstanding, Bautista might be justified in thinking,
    "How's that puta?"

    That was scary..................... And - not even tipped in???????????????

    But even scarier - is they have to race there tomorrow. They don't pay them enough!
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    According to both Rossi and Hayden, the main culprit was the nature of the track. Just as you start to brake there, both men explained, there was a slight dip followed by a rise, right at the point where you are making the first move to start tipping it in for the final chicane. What's more, Andrea Dovizioso had weighed in earlier, that part of the track is very slightly off-camber, meaning that there is less of the tire on the ground than you think there is. The combination of the front unweighting as it crested the slight rise and heavy braking had been what had caused his crash, Valentino Rossi explained, the new tires having nothing to do with it. It was easy to crash there, Dovizioso had explained earlier, as it was impossible to brake fully for that corner because of the bumps.

    Stoner

    Lorenzo

    Dovi

    Pedro seems spooked over the front tire and Spies still looks like an accident waiting to happen.

    Moto2 looks like it will be exciting.

    Hope the weather improves.
