"we wuz robbed"

[coffee]

Does anyone else think we were robbed of what could have been one of the finest GP's when Lorenzo skittled the front runners? or would the relentless Marquez still have done the business?

[Freck]

Marquez was already starting to pull away unfortunately 
It would have been a great race though, mind you it was pretty good anyway.

Definetely robbed. It was a case of "commentators curse"  as Keith Huewen had said words to the effect of 'sit back and prepare yourself for probably the race of the season', on the previous lap. Lorenzo was over zealous, aided by the slipstream, but at the end of the day, it was a rookie mistake. That move killed the race stone dead, and Cal failing to finish right at the end, just about put the tin hat on it. Petrucci and Dovi are now on similar points, could that upset the friendly/co-operative atmosphere within the Ducati garage, as both stand a chance of being top rider, and I believe Petrucci only has a 1 year contract.

Maybe,but Dovi seems such a straight sort of bloke I think he'd be hard to dislike,then again if your livelihood is at stake who knows,Petrucci got that ride ahead of Scott Redding and now he's again fighting to keep his seat,hard times at the top level ay?

Ducati seem to be hoping to get all their rider contracts for the next few seasons nailed down sooner rather than later, and the possibility of Scott getting a wildcard at Donnie next weekend, was a nice surprise, maybe not for Chaz though.

Wow! didn't know that,either of them deserve a ride but it would be nice to see Chaz in MotoGP,just to see the result.

Apparently Paul Bird Motorsports have pulled Scott and Josh's wildcard entries for this weekends WSB at Donnie, to concentrate on their own championship. Shame, was going to go for the day on Saturday.
