Tough track on which to pass! Stoner's about the only one that's done any significant passing so far...

Probably not - but Nicky's not getting the job done re: the championship. Disappointing to say the least.

But it's HRC pulling the plug on him. If the pod can't win it, neither will he.

I agree, if they can keep the Yami from DNFing from a mechanical. It wouldn't even be close if the equipment hadn't failed a few times.

Re: *SPOILER* Motegi MotoGP
If HRC would let Nicky run the bike that he was able to run so well and consistently at the beginning of the season, he could have put the title away already.
Why they are forcing Nicky to run crap parts that are continuing to hurt him is beyond me.
This could have been the year that Nicky took the title due to consistent fast riding, but instead it will be the year that he lost it due to testing worthless parts.
Why did KRJR let Edwards by there at the end? I hope that loser ends up last in the last two races.

No, he's not even on the best Honda.
And he would be doing just as well on the Yamaha or Ducati.
How many points would Rossi have on the Suzuki or Kawasaki?

If Hayden were allowed to race the better version of the Honda - the one he has shown to be faster on, the same one run by Pedrosa and Melandri, he would have the title put away by now.
