| MotoGP Turkey: Race [SPOILER] Good race...but a little bittersweet...
I was a bit bummed to see Melandri stretch the points gap on Hayden...but it was great to see him have his day in the sun...

I would probably be doing that for sure. Oh well.
I was bummed as well to see Marco stretch the points on Nicky, however, Marco has ridden the better season while Nicky has crashed more often (I think). So on the other hand, Marco really deserves it at this point, as he has earned the spot. Let's see what happens w/ the rest of the season though. Still pulling for Nicky.

HD | Me, too. One more round! Go Nicky! He's really come along the second half of this season. It's been said before, but if only he stayed content with a sure 3rd place in one of the early races instead of pushing it and crashing out.  |

| Re: MotoGP Turkey: Race [SPOILER] You'd have to think that if he continues to do that, his hot girlfriend would find another rich wannabe rockstar who doesn't screw up quite so publicly.
The Movistar bikes were working much better than anything else out there. |

| Re: MotoGP Turkey: Race [SPOILER] It was a decent race. Marco was untouchable all weekend and he finally got what he deserves. Too bad for Nicky, but at least he's up there every weekend fighting for top spots and he's only nine points back. Very possible to take second at the last race. Not at all surprised by CEII, he's been fairly consistant at racing for 6th and 7th, gotta find grip somehow I guess. I mean he's the top michelin development rider and he's the only one who can't deal with the tires..... I couldn't read his comments post race because they are the same...  |
