Must be gutting for Lorenzo

Hmmm, that certainly takes some pressure off Pedro. I doubt Lorenzo will be fully fit next week either, and the track will be insanely hard to ride injured.

Right, so now I just hope Marquez doesn't do anything stupid, since he's the only guy consistently on Pedro's tail, and we're golden for his title!

I came down at 11 last night, but of course it doesn't hurt on playstation !!!!!

I can't see George getting the title now. Pedrosa is jumping for joy like 2 weeks ago....



....you never do know tho....MM takes out Dani, broken bones all round and it becomes a scrap between Rossi and Crutchlow for the title?!

Graphic demonstration of the front tyre flex.
About 14m40 into FP3 Germany, Claudio Corti (first out after rain break) going into T11 at the bottom of the hill, not even a big close up, but you could see the front tyre squish to about half its normal height under braking.
Wicked.

Wow!!! SuperDan!!!

Fingers crossed he is OK.

[lostinflyz]

Hayes in for Lorenzo!!!

Pedro has been flown to hospital for tests, has damaged his collarbone again, had low blood pressure and suspected concussion.
As someone else asked,
"Who writes these scripts?"

"Who writes these scripts?"

Valentino Rossi.

And here it is. He was only cruising too. So much for the extra safety of traction control etc eh...

That looked like a farken weird crash to me. More like something was on the back tyre or there was a software/hardware malfunction than someone pushing past the limits.

Looked like a cold tyre biff to me. He was only doodling around. May've been his problem.

[steveyb]

You could see in his eyes after the crash.
It was like:"Where am I?, what the fuck just happened to me? Why is my shoulder sore?, Where am I?"
Yeah, pretty knocked about.
His shoulder injury could be caused by a jolt through his elbow which landed first.

BUT

What about Espargaro eh????????????

Front row start maybe????????????

AAAAAND this is MM now.

For those who haven't done the sums themselves

MM needs 1st to lead the championship, but he'll only lead by 2 points which means the next few races will be stonking good.

if MM gets 1st, the battle between rossi and crutchlow is seperated by 2 points, with a bit of talent knocked out of this race there's a broader spectrum for those guys to place, so they'll both be going hard, because whoever beats the other will overtake in the championship (assuming they both place in the top 5)

If cal or rossi win neither will overtake MM, even if MM has a DNF.
