    Maybe Pete has had enough of the pressure of MotoGP class.


    Pete B does not want to work under the eye and controll of HRC any more, he said so years back after Heyden. Private team or not, they are still under the finger of HRC

    Pete Bensen always said he wouldn't go back to MotoGP, too much politics and shit. I thought he'd changed his mind seeing as Marc VDS have decided to step up, but I guess even that wasn't enough incentive.

    If Benson was going to MotoGP he would have done so at the start of this year but he didn't, and he explained why. Basically his last spell at Honda was so unpleasant that he had no wish to repeat the experience.

    He and Hayden were victims of Puig's machinations. One example that springs to mind, they had to give Pedrosa access to all their data but received nothing from the Pedrosa camp in return. This when Hayden was the world champion and Pedrosa was just a potential future champ. He wouldn't even seem to be that now.

    The more things change the more they stay the same? Pedrosa has apparently recently had a couple of mechanics in his crew replaced and now his crew chief is following them. So far it is difficult to penetrate the fog of PR speak but it'll probably all come out in the wash. The boy might be feeling the pressure.

    His job is to come second minimum and first if MM falls off and screws his Season up.
    IF MM did have a fall or someone took him out at the start (as they are his weak point by the looks) it would put the Yammy's 1st and second with the improvements they have made over the season.
    He needs to find another 2%.

    Moto3 Qualifying was crazy. Insane traffic for a track that size.

    Funny to watch the slower sheeple wanting to get a tow from the faster guys going to any length to stay with them... Even following them through the pits

    Then Karel Abraham crashes after hitting Pedrosa. I think he was wanting to get a tow, pulled in behind but Pedro was slowing. I'm sure he'll say he wasn't trying to get a tow, just getting out of the way.

    Dorna take away the artificial turf from all future races because of Rossi's spill but they are happy for the moto3 guys to run into each other.... doesnt make too much sense.

    That crash confused me. Pedrosa overtook him, then hit the brakes after crossing his path?

    It would seem the you and Miller are on the same page. That's wot 'e said.

    He was so pissed off he just threw his last Q lap away so nobody would get a tow.
    Understandable maybe but...
