What's up with Roberts? The guy is masterful in the wet, yet he's playing around with Pod.
He was running faster by a couple seconds, now has dropped back behind #26.

Nicky being patient with the passes and not going too risky, but lost touch of Rossi a touch. Should be able to get back up on him now, though.

Will Rossi pass Sete? You know he wants to.

BDA116 · 09-17-2006, 2:49 AM

Looks like Gibbers will fall back enough.
Nicky with fastest lap (of the wet stuff), looks like third may be up for grabs here shortly, but running out of laps.

I'd love to see Nicky get past Rossi for the four point swing, but I'm not sure he'll take the risk.

Fark, the rain sure farked this race up. The way it started I was hoping for a better spread between Rossi, Pod and hayden so there'd be more of a chance of it comming down to the last race with a couple points between them with winner take all.

Pedrobot gets lapped!

BDA116 · 09-17-2006, 2:53 AM

Gib picked it back up, they may not get him.
Nicky looks to be setting up Rossi for a last lap pass, but I'm sure he'll only do so if a smart path opens up.

BDA116 · 09-17-2006, 2:54 AM

Whoa, will Roberts and Pod affect Rossi/Hayden?
Nicky's right on Rossi's ass for fourth.

BDA116 · 09-17-2006, 2:56 AM

Dang, Rossi got past Gibbers right there at the end and Nicky couldn't quite go with him.
Rossi picks up a few more points.

RRWANTR · 09-17-2006, 2:56 AM

WOOOTTT!!! At least a few more points.

bwhip · 09-17-2006, 2:56 AM

Rossi does it to Sete again!

Sweet little drift there by Melandri around the final corner.

phobiaphobe · 09-17-2006, 2:58 AM

Congrats to Marco... Vermi too. Rossi was facking incredible... How many passes did he make in 26 laps?

bwhip · 09-17-2006, 3:01 AM

Rossi owns Sete x1000. Unreal.

RRWANTR · 09-17-2006, 3:01 AM

Another lap and Rossi could have had CV possibly..

bwhip · 09-17-2006, 3:02 AM

The plot thickens. Did Rossi pass under waving yellow?

RRWANTR · 09-17-2006, 3:04 AM

Can't remember what happens in GP if that's the case. What's the penalty?

phobiaphobe · 09-17-2006, 3:05 AM

Very un-becoming of Nicky to whine. He rode his heart out... Rossi barely had anything for him. I think his adrenaline is overloading the CEII section of the frontal lobes.

Even I had to laugh at that one..

anthmac · 09-17-2006, 5:58 AM

is that 10 second penalty confirmed? last i heard was it was still up in the air..

yeh hayden having a cry was definately not impressing. rossi in press confress was very happy about the result and said hes looking forward to the next couple of races. looks like the phillip island superstition for him is working out...

I want to know what happened with the bike changes. Crap - Roberts and Pedrosa disappeared at the change. What a mess.

Quote:

On lap 18 there was controversy as Rossi sped passed Stoner under a waving yellow flag following an incident involving Carlos Checa (Yamaha). Rossi retained his position into the next corner and gained precious time on Hayden. The Race Direction later ruled no further action should be taken as it was deemed Stoner had momentarily re-passed Rossi
