race two was a much faster race (as posted by baketech) with colin leading throughout (if I remember correctly)... Race one was a constant battle for the whole entire race... Bayliss, Xaus and edwards all dicing for the duration, which slowed the pace...

For those who disagree, I respect your opinion, but i have to remind you of how much press surrounded Nicky and the fact that he was laying behind because of the fact the he had nothing to do with that point race. Had he layed it all out as Bostrom did years ago he would have royally screwed Bayliss and Edwards. For anyone to say that Nicky is not on the level of Bayliss and Edwards, I have one question.

What Kind of weed do you smoke and do you sell it? Cause you are obviously high! I think if anything they are level playing fields to be fair to the less fortunate.

Like I said I have the ut-most respect for both riders, but I don't think they are Hayden good. Keep in mind Edwards and Bayliss have both raced the majority of these tracks for years before this. They are home to these two. This is Nicky's first time at every one.

I also partially agree with you on the Ebos comment. EBos is amazing and I am really disappointed that they two don't race together anymore. That was a great rivalry. I would personally LOVE to see EB in MGP. I think he could contribute greatly. Is he better then Nicky? I don't think we will know that anytime soon. But it is a good question and leaves one to think. If he was on an equal bike would he be the AMA Champ? Would Mladin shut his fat egotistical mouth? But that opens a whole new can of worms. Bottom line, EBos is great!

Again IMO, next year will be a much better year for The Kid. And hopefully the other American riders as well.

PS: I meant no offense by any afore mentioned comments. All in fun gentlemen!
