Yep, and that was his choice, so fleck him. And I say that as someone who wants JL to win the championship this year.
Yesterdays decision was interesting. There are always going to be winners and losers when a race is stopped. Who's to say that Pedrosa wasn't going to go down in those conditions, if he had then it was all over. I think that JL's save on the last corner before the red flag just won him the title.
I used to think Pedrosa was a waste of a good bike, but he's shown some real guts this year and looks like champion material finally. He looks the complete package now, but it's too late for this season. And Marquez may ruin his season next year, I can see them clashing regularly.
Marquez will win titles but won't be a contender next year. That's an extra 100 odd bhp he's got to get his head around. I think Pedders will be safely number 1 in that garage. But in 2014, who knows.
Agreed, but he's a hothead and if he gets within a few feet of his teammate you know what'll happen next...
Lorenzo for me, he has some character unlike danny boring miserable pedrosa. I like Crutchlow a lot, he actually appears to enjoy his job and always has time for a laugh and a joke. Nicky always seems to have time for a chat too. I don't think I have ever witnessed pedrosa laughing and joking, miserable little @&*% ! LOL I cannot wait for next year to see how rossi matches up on the yamaha. We will see if the Ducati really was that poor, Stoner had no problems with it.
But Stoner did have problems with the front end in his last season didn't he? I know he managed to make a better job than VR has but the start of Ducati's problems were there in that last year. I'd love to see Danny win this year as he's been a much better all round rider than before, but think it will be Lorenzo, unless he has a major mishap. Roll on next year, hopefully there will be more riders in the chase for the title. Hopefully Cal will still be somewhere near the front and can prove he deserves a factory bike, and then we'll really have something to cheer about!
