I Ride: SV650 - Race || TT600 - Street
***Austrailia MotoGP Spoiler***
Some decent racing. Congrats to Stoner. A lot of people don't give him credit for his riding skills. The dude can ride that Duc. That track allows for some great darkies!!! Wow can they slide those things with all that traction control.

Lorenzo pulled a bone-head move (I know it is racing but wow...settle down. If I was Hayden I would hunt Lorenzo down and pummel him). Anyways, Rossi is in a great position to take his ninth world title because of Lorenzo's mistake!!!

1 - Stoner
2 - Rossi
3 - Pedrosa

All Rossi has to do is get 3rd or better in the next race and it is his. Or both races 9th place.

very disappointing. i was really hoping for a showdown in the last race but doesnt seem to have much chance.

oh well. assuming stoner stays healthy and pedrosa quits hurting himself next season should be far more interesting than the last few years.

I lost a lot of respect for stoner after that skipping races thing. I mean, mick doohan rode shortly after his legs had been fused together to avoid amputation and only took 8 weeks off then raced in the last two races to try and score some points... there is no way in hell whatever stoner had was as serious as that.
Yeah, he is fast, but I don't see him being a great champion over the long run if this season was any indication.

A lot seems unclear about his hiatus. Im on the fence, but it does seem weird.

That said, have you ever had chronic fatigue? (I think that's what he was claiming) That shit does not go away. A friend I used to work with got it and could not work for 6 months, then the next 6 months could only work 4 hours blocks before being totally exhausted. Its still with him and he has to know when to pull the pin and go home, otherwise he will be out for another couple weeks.
