| *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP Random Thoughts:
We have a champ, Val (but that is no surprise)
The Ducs ran Awesome!
Good look at Hayden, he ran up front all race and we got to see a lot of him. I thought he looked great on the bike.
Bridgestone might have it sorted. Edwards was disappointing, he could have taken some points if he ran better. |

Yeah I know, I just mean it would have been nice to see a move with Max not up front. |

| Re: *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP OK since they aren't showing it on Speed until 11pm tonight and I probably won't stay up that late to see it post the results.....
Damn I am getting a subscription to MotoGP online next year so I can stream all the races...

| Re: *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP Both Suzuki's in the top 10. Byrne finished 14th, not too bad for his first ride on a real bike. |

| Re: *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP And yet CE is still 4th in points?!?! I said it after Motegi, he the luckiest "also ran" out there.
Riddle me this, why hasn't Dorna Slapped Sete with a one race ban? What he did is no worse than what Lorenzo did in the 250 race at Motegi. Sete had two collisions with Nicky and he took out Nakano. Michael Bolton has run his course with Honda. It's amazing how the twice vice champ is riding like an assclown this season.
It was a great race until about 6 laps to go and it all was sorted out. Great battles by Hayden. He just didn't have it at the end... again. |

| Re: *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP I am curious.... has anyone else noticed that Rossi still sticks his left foot out before taking some left hand turns. He's been doing it all year. Any ideas? |

| Re: *SPOILER* Sepang MotoGP I like Nicky, but sure would like to see him get stronger toward the end of the race instead of falling off the pace and fading back every time. |
