My impression of Pedrosa is that he does not play cat and mouse type games with the rest of the field. Either he doesn't like to play mental games or he's incapable. So all he seems to know how to do is ride as fast as he can. If he's in the lead, no looking back. If he's in the pack, he's just trying to get up to the front. No waiting around until the end of the race for a special opportunity.

I could not believe they race that hard in that rain.  How awesome to watch. EEK!

I cannot imaging diving into a corner and making the inside passes with all the wet.

I thought it was fantastic - even though I was a bit confused (and some what pleased) that Pedro crashed.  He seemed to have it locked then binned it.  Why press it when a DNF is worth nothing?

I really though Rossi was going to make up some time and have a shot at the 1st.  The Dr. from a few years back would have likley caught up and gone by.  Has he lost a step or has the field just caught (and passed?) him?

Update on Pedrosa's injuries at crash.net http://www.crash.net/motorsport/motogp/news/166247-0/pedrosa_injury_update.html I can't imagine how he can race effectively in one week if at all. But those dudes are tough after a needle obviously thinking back to Lorenzo's season so far.

Forgot to give Vermin kudos for the race he had! At one point he appeared to have Vale lined up for a pass but faded last couple of laps. If he could only figure it the dry track riding bit...

Dammit! I was supposed to get back from a track day Saturday night but we got rained out so I stayed an extra night and rode Sunday instead. My point is, I didn't tape the race. Anybody know if and when I can catch a replay?

Those guys were flying in the rain! EEK!  It's amazing the grip they get.
That can't be a fun track to race at in the wet considering how many downhill and off-camber turns there are.  Must be a real white knuckle ride for sure. Crazy

Stoner looks good.  He's clearly a great rider with a ton of talent and intellegence.  Pedrosa got bit by the "Spanish hero bug".  Not the first Spaniard to get it. Wink

vid of pedrosa's crash from the crowd.

Un frickin believable. Just gets up and walks away. Crazy

In the old days he'd have been in a body bag.
