i wasn't necessarily comparing smith to crutchlow, just saying smith is not anywhere near him.on the same bike....his record isn't great in any class, so i wondered why he got the monster ride...just doesn't seem deserving...does his dad own the company sponsoring the team........?

looking at the race from a biased viewpoint....good to see Lorenzo catching so fast towards the end...be good info for Yamaha next year at that track...great ride by MM, Pedrosa tried but got smashed..must start doing his head in....interesting that there was lots of overtaking in moto 2 and 3...so maybe the track will be better for MotoGP next year....bit dull this year.......

crickey that is hardly a bet...you have more chance of the Greens denouncing communism than smith getting above 6th...

Shouldn't take too long. We'll have to sort out a MotoGP sometime where I fly down on a GrabASeat cheapy flight and drink the beer you supply while using up your broadband to watch it.

The TAB don't have odds up for the season as yet. If you contact them I'm sure they'll let you take out a bet on it.

jeez you guys are fuckn harsh...Smith will be up there in the next couple of races,not with the leaders of course but with hayden bautista and dovi.i reckon he will finish the season with results as good as crutchlows first season
Forum whore
hmm is that worth a bet....rossi was having a good battle with bautista,dovi nearly joined in at one point.I think bradl might beat him at the "honda" tracks,and despite all the whining and gnashing of teeth about the tech 3 bikes crutclow may well beat hima again too.There didnt seem to be too much passing on the straights(aprt from the hondas)At one point cruthlow was back with rossi and bautista after running of the track but he just rode away from them.He has got good corner speed but his bike isnt slow
lookit the top 5 speeds,look who has the slowest Yamaha!

Ha ha ha, man that lor guy really sucks! Look at how slow he is, he ain't gonna win shit this year.
I don't think that I will take up that bet of Crashers though. I can't honestly see Smith getting a top 5 finish this year. I do think that he will eventually get up closer to the pack of satellite bikes, but he ain't gonna be the first one home unless something serious happens to one of the front runners.
Disclaimer: I don't actually know what I'm talking about and everything I say should be taken as words of wisdom from a armchair general/mechanic/engineer/racer.

Was surprised at how gracious everyone was, Pedro praised MM, Rossi described Crutchlow's ride as "fantastic". Freddie Spencer congratulated MM on being the new "youngest".
MM says he had bike problems near the end, Pedro was struggling with a setup problem all race.
During the race one of Rossi's front discs lost a piece of carbon causing vibration.
During practice Hayden had a problem that was attributed to tyres but it was found that the wheel was cracked. That could've been ugly.
After the deluge in the Tech 3 pit a set of tyre warmers were only working on one side. Fortunately the Bridgestone tyre techs discovered that before anyone went out.
The bikes have seemed amazingly reliable in recent times but there were a few adventures of the mechanical kind in Texas.

That's a pity. Was hoping to set myself up in beer for next season!

A homeless guy I met in Las Vegas said his Dad was a gambler; and the only thing he ever taught him was: "Never take another man's bet"
Odds on, he knows something you don't.
He says "I bet you...."something or other,
you say "fair enough, you are right" etc.
You ain't gonna lose like that.
