The BBC Sport main page is weird at the moment. It looks like two MotoGP results next to each other, until you read them. Obviously the second headline was pushing things anyway..........

Well, that was one hell of a first half of the race. Pretty damn good actually! (second half was a bit more processional) Those exchanges between MM and JL were awesome!!! For all the complaining that JL has done about MM it seemed almost hypicritical with the way he was getting passed by MM, and then jamming it up the inside of him again. It was pretty obvious that DP and MM had the higher pace, but JL was doing everything he could to keep ahead of him for as long as possible. Too bad they couldn't keep that up for the rest of the race.

And it was good to see Rossi up there closer, would have been really great if he could have thrown a move in on MM when he was chasing JL around, but Rossi never pulled the pin. Seems like maybe the old dog has lost just enough of that edge to take them on like he would have used to.

Yep. One particular move by Lorenzo on MM was as hard and agressive as anything MM has done this year or sure. He actually stuck it up the inside of him while MM was in front, and used him as a berm! But I love it...and MM wasn't about to get bullied out of the way. But I don't see MM bitching about it.

And if Dani had've had rear view mirrors he would have laughed his cock off!!
Well done little DP!

Man...that carnage in Moto2 was freaky,they were all very lucky
And the 12 lap sprint restart was full on too.....Rabat was on fire. I love the sound of the 6oos been thrashed

[pritch]

Yeah nah, this is the big news from the Malaysian GP


Whatever the reason Gobbmeier wasn't doing the job so they've hired the best. Probably something to do with a German trying to tell the Italians what to do.

Herr Gobbmeier's departure now means that at least they have Italians talking to each other which must simplify things. They are running out of time though, Marlboro are less than thrilled with progress.

That was Hayden's last new engine that blew.

Casey Stoner has performed in underwhelming fashion in V8s and doesn't like all the PR stuff he has to do (surprise!) so he is retiring from all competitive motor sport for a year. (Don't know if that includes his r/c model?) Supo says there is zero chance he will be on the Gressini bike at PI - pity.

Both Lorenzo and Rossi say the tyres stopped them being totally competitive at Sepang. The heat gives the Yamahas grip problems.

What's your view on some of Lorenzo's moves on MM?

[Hinny]

No eating of words, capitulation, respect nor excuses from the Dani bashers.
Taking time to dream up something? Lol.

Looked ok to me P, but then I didn't have a problem with MM's either.
I'm guessing Horhay is trying to get MM to make a big mistake cos that's the only way to catch up in the points, No ?

Yeah it was an awesome dispaly...and as I've always said...on the day he's fucking near unbeatable. You'd have to wonder if MM hasn't got one eye on the championship now though eh?

Me too. But one in particular was pretty hard. But hey...I'm all for it as I've said many times. But I don't wanna hear the Lorenzo/Pedro fans bawling their eyes out when they get it back is all. And they do.

[Bender]

...on the day he's fucking near unbeatable.

Thing is, Pedrosa isn't like that often enough. In last night's race he was unbeatable - but so often he's been just off the pace and that's what makes being a fan frustrating.

I wish that racing between MM and George had kept up for a few more laps - it was actually entertaining More of that please. MM was missing the mongrel factor today - obviously getting his arse kicked for decking Dani had its effect, but I bloody hope it's not permanent. Watching the masters of swoosh run around separated by a hundred yards is not great racing.

[ecko_nzed]

I take issue with this comment mainly coz Marquez does not need to run with Dani...he's already got him beat.
Marquez has to run with Lorenzo as he's the championship challenger.Afterall Jorges MO up until this race and the reason he won the previous two was he simply fucked off from the green light and never let the others catch up.
Marquez knows this so he can't fuck around (like Dani) and has to go when Lorenzo does.

Errrrrr what Aragon race were you watching, cos the one I saw, JL wasn't going anywhere? Both Honda's seemed to have the measure of the Yamaha there. Pedo had pulled back quite a gap on Marquez and passed him and was lining up Lorenzo. I have no doubt that Marquez would have owned Pedo eventually, but I still think it was an impatient, stupid move.

I'm not disputing that Marquez is probably the best rider out there at the moment. I'm also OK with them putting hard moves on each other, the stakes are high but with a big reward, there should also be a cost for getting it wrong. If they pull a hard move and no one gets hurt, fine. But if someone is taken out there should be a consequence.

I would have preferred to see him pick the bike up a smidge more, avoid Dani, run wide. Then come back (cos he had to anyway) and own JL and DP in a epic finish.

[bogan]

Bloody good first half, and nice to see DP take the win.

Don't think he was missing anything mate. Just has one eye on the title now I bet. Pointless throwing it down the road trying to beat Pedro when he doesn't have to to win the title mate.

Again...MM didn't take out Pedro though mate. Pedro's Honda did. You can't (and never should) stop contact in racing mate. Sad day if they do.
