It would be great if Pedro could get that bike working up at the pointy end.

I can't get over how close Crutchlow was to being hit by the bike of Smith. I did enjoy the little jump in the air in case anything else was following.

He was moving pretty well for a guy with Gout! Hearing a bike scraping along the track behind you is an insentive to jump huh ? lol.

#93 is back to his old self,hard to bet against a guy who can ride like that.

Marquez said his front tyre had stopped working before the end of the race and the latter stages were an ongoing series of saves as the front end let go.

Riding the ragged edge.

Yup. It's only a matter of time till he DNF's which will bring the top 6 all back together with 1 DNF each. As Pedrosa proved with his race pace over his practice pace the riders will improve in leaps and bounds. SUCH A GOOD SEASON! We may not see such a season as this for another 15 years so lets enjoy

Business as usual then?

If that is the case, I might pick him for the title this year.

I will reserve judgement until after a European round or two (Or until after the last race)

Did anyone pick the top 3 for COTA? (Before the race that is)

I got the winner and third correct I think.

I had 1 & 2 but Rossi, Pedro and Dovi all let me down, (or in Dovi's case was himself let down - suddenly).

All those DNFs woulda stuffed up most peoples' picks.

Here's a few numbers for ya mate...

Lap 1 JL 207.646

DP 208.047

Lap 2 JL 205.553

DP 205.823

Lap 3 DP 205.147

JL 205.299

Lap 4 JL 204.908

DP 204.950

Lap 5 DP 205.253

JL 205.318

Lap 6 JL 205.175

DP 205.21

Lap 7 JL 205.249

DP 253.945

So no, DP was not looking like making JL his bitch despite your wildest dreams. JL faster than DP in 4 out of the first 6 laps and actually staying on the bike...sure there'll be tracks where DP shows JL the way round, this track wasn't one of those.

Alright, numbers back at ya:

Since CoTa was introduced:
2013 -
MM
DP
JL

2014
MM
DP
-
-
JL waaaayyyy back in 10th

2015 - Dani DNS
MM
AD
VR
JL

So Dani has beaten George at every race he has started at CoTa and has finished close to MM in most races.
I put it to you that in the theoretical scenario where DP and AD had stayed put on their bikes, Dani would have dusted off the maid outfit and sent JL to his mansion to do some dusting.

While your numbers do show that JL was quicker in most laps, we didn't get enough of clear shot of both riders with a clear track to know if they could have done battle. But unfortunately this we will never know, as DP made a boo boo.

Dude, who gives a flying fuck what's happened years before this one? Fuck me you're clutching at straws badly. THIS year, they have new bikes, new tyres, diff wheel sizes and spec electronics. And THIS year, DP was never faster than JL. FACT.

LOL, remember this when we hear from you that Stoner Beat Rossi more than Rossi beat Stoner 2006-2012!!

Think you need to put that back into the correct context matey.

I will paraphrase: you used to think the source of that yellow light in the sky was omitted from Casey Stoner's Gluteus Maximus...
