Should we start a scenario table?!?!

if mm wins tomorrow and jlo comes third its all finished

if mm wins and Jlo is second then mm has to finish worse than 13th in motegi to need to get even 1 point in valencia

if jlo wins the next three races MM has to finish worse than 5th in all three races to lose from here

Nooooooooooooo!

If Pol finishes the next two races that is Scott's championship fucked.
Motegi is much more of a stop-start affair, pretty tough with a broken wrist.
Stranger things have happened but.

Ahhhh wtf just happened?

[steveyb]

Yeah, how odd is that!?!?
All to do with tyre degradation on the new surface.
Moto2 race shortened to HALF distance to cope with it too!!!

poor bastard must be gutted!

I just put together a wee script that runs through every possible outcome for the next 3 races for MM, DP and JL. Unfortunately I had to assume that they either place 1st, 2nd, 3rd or crash out due to computational limitations.

Data looks something like this:

1st: Marc 94.3% Jorge 5.1% Dani 0.6%

2nd: Marc 4.3% Jorge 61.2% Dani 34.5%

3rd: Marc 1.4% Jorge 33.7% Dani 64.9%

Also says "I'm sorry Dave, you need to get a life, go to fucking bed" so unfortunately I can't handle ties.

Gutted for Redding... that was a nasty snappy kind of crash. Wonder if they've located his testicles yet?

i reckon someone should feel nervous...I think Smith has a good chance at 5th....a bit of bad luck for any of the normal front runners and he will be right there....

I'm not in the slightest mate. And sure...if some front runners do and he finishes top five...good on him. Pity that's what it'll take though. Because a top five finisher he ain't.

They just commented that Redding will not ride in Japan either.
So, that's him done, most likely.

Things just got very interesting....
