Somehow Dovisiozo seems to be too much error prone.

Any other rider? Maybe if there names started as Valentino Rossi, Agostini, Lawson, Sheene, Hailwood, Bayliss, Fogarty, Rainey, Gardner.

I will end this debate and we shall see how good Spies is on a factory ride next year and we all know where he stands in his rookie year on a satellite Motorcycle, ahead of Hayden(a Moto GP champ) and he may pip Andrea in championship standings by the end of the season. maybe the best a rookie can manage in his (full) debut season.

For reference--Andrea on a slower Motorcycle was a two time 250 runner up.

Ok. I admit I am not a big follower of Bike Racing. Watch MotoGP though regularly and I only commented based on what I see. I am neither a fan of Spies or a hater of Dovi. Just said what I did just comparing Pedrosa and Dovi and a few memories of Dovi being a bit ragged before also.

Looks like Dani is out for the rest of the season.

Dani has had a FP1 crash. Left leg was trapped underneath the bike as he slid into the gravel trap. Taken to the medical centre on a stretcher.

3 Fragment fracture to left collarbone. Sigh! There goes the rest of the season...

Seems like an easy championship win for Lorenzo. First Rossi crashes and misses a few races, now its Dani's turn.

Yep, he can now cruise and collect.

This year has really been horrible for bike racers. It's a dangerous sport all right but this year there have been too many incidents.

Reg. Lorenzo. I think the guy deserves this year's championship.

He def deserves it, but its turning out to be a very boring championship battle, for all the wrong reasons. The F1 season on the other hand, is a very good example of an exciting championship.

i saw God in Motegi riding a Yamaha, beat satan riding another.

Go Ducati. Looks like Stoner is finally getting his head together. Any more doubts on whether a healthy Rossi is better than Lorenzo? Rossi is on a different league. I'm really curious to see if Lorenzo can win a championship after this year. And an other credible finish by Spies. Next year can't come soon enough.

What a great battle between the Yamaha boys. Glad to see Rossi back in full form. Stoner's is on a roll !!

At one corner, Rossi's knee actually hit Lorenzo's shoulder.
It was a wrestling match at 200kph.

Good one.

deetjohn · 4th October 2010, 11:31

Oh! what a duel between the 2 Yam boys.

All I need is a fit as a fiddle Doctor for the next season and at least one more win on the M1.

Go Vale Go!!!!!

SohailPistawala · 4th October 2010, 12:24

My respect for Rossi's riding has grown even further. And Lorenzo has gotten more and more stronger. i guess the best battle for this season between the two amazing riders.

Die Hard 46!

So, Lorenzo takes pole at Malaysia.
