    You'd think that if they have so much feel for the bike and it's available traction in bad conditions, they could push it untill it was at the same limit under normal circumstances.

    But then, I suck in the wet, so what would I know?
    Vermeulen ('nother Aussie) was slated for finishing rear of field until he won a wet race. Le Mans I think.
    Caution is not a substitute for skill :no

    What happened to Melandri? 12 seconds off the pace? He's having a mare of a season.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yeah I know, he was doing 2.30's at one stage. Didn't say anything about him having any problems, just slow as. Maybe they should let him ride with the 250's

    Wasn't exactly a yawn fest but my gawd that 125 race was incredible! How many times did the lead change? Must have been at least 30.

    Yeah wasn't too bad, but nothing in comparison to 125's and 250's. That barbera crash, dang!! The commentators are so damn thick, how could an engine siezure make you go over the handlebars?? Front wheel drive or something lol. Was pretty damn clear that Simoncelli moved over as Barbera was passing and just hit his front brake. Not too far off Nakano a few years ago when his rear tyre blew on the Kwaka.

    I could'a swore I saw him check back (was out of camera shot, but a camera on the ground further down the track caught it)

    Hector had the grunt on tap, all he needed to do was keep a tighter line in the last corner and he could of had that race made, guess he wanted to prove something down the front straight though.

    Instead he gets no points for his efforts. :\

    No Ivan, read properly. Simoncelli moved over as barbera was coming past and hit his front brake. Catapulting him over the front, instant front brake application at 200+ with throttle still wide open means ouch!!
