You had to guess Michelin was gonna bounce back strong from last years disappointment. At least I got one thing right on GP manager. I picked Bridgestone.

Besides Hopper, I had Elias. So I'm in the same boat. Two of the three guys I picked to be on the podium were, but not in the right spots I picked. Bullshit.

fuck man... stoner better not run away with this one again
Why, because he actually had to "work" for it this time. And, Rossi ran away with it for how many years?

Good Lord that Ducati bucks around on the track.

he didn't work for it! he made three or four good passes and was in first! and that was it!

rossi always made it intresting... he did have several races he ran away... but usaully he was in 2nd with like 4 or 5 laps to go... stalk'n the rider ahead of him..

I'm not say'n stoner is a bad rider... the dude's bad ass... I'm just saying from an entertainment standpoint... it sucked


not even a good wreck! (my connection cut out for the one wreck and I didn't even see who it was)

Shitty race was shitty. Made even worse by the speed coverage being delayed until 10 and then their usual full ad break every 3 laps with no reviews of what went on during the break.

FUCK SPEED TV

Ahhhhh, "entertainment" Gotcha.

Rossi is a character. And, he ran away with his titles - even if he didn't run away with his races.

See, I'm one of those that would rather see someone win the title by WINNING the fucking title, and maybe even dominate, rather than win because they consistently stayed upright.

MotoGP is a cast of characters. I mean, the reason Pedrosa got such a bad rap early was because he was SO serious (and continues to be). It's good to see Lorenzo hang in the front, and even more adding to that cast with the likes of Divizioso hanging in there.... I thought it was a good race.
