Round 15 Motegi 10/02/11 **SPOILERS**
 

So, after all the radiation hype, all riders are there, and the race is on...There are 4 races left this year...This one, Phillip Island, Sepang, and Valencia...Stoner is leading by 44 points over Lorenzo and 99 points over Dovizioso...So, realistically, this championship will be won by Casey or Jorge...The question is, which one will keep it upright and in the winners circle enough times to wear the crown?...Personally, I just don't see JLo making up the difference in points...

So, let's get to it...

--Stoner has now won 8 of the 14 races this year, and is tied with Eddie Lawson with 31 total GP victories
--Lorenzo is lurking, but clearly dosen't have what it takes to beat Casey race after race
--Dovizioso...What can you say?...He's ridden hard all year with lots of podiums, and will probably be looking for a job soon
--Pedrosa...Ah, what could have been?...Crashes and injuries sure do mess up fate
--Spies...To me, a disappointment this year...He's a good strong rider, but I expected more podiums by now
--Rossi...Either Ducati has to fix their problems, or this move will go down as disgraceful as Jordan going to the Wizards
--Simoncelli got himself a ride next year...No more excuses, Afro man
--Hayden...WSBK, Nick............WSBK...

The race is on SpeedTV Sunday at 2am and 5pm...

Speed did this last year, too, and I have no idea why :confused:

LAST YEARS RESULTS
1. Stoner
2. Dovi
3. Rossi
4. Lorenzo

If anyone remembers last years race, it was an epic battle between Rossi and JLo all the way to the finish line...Then Lorenzo cried afterwards about how Rossi "touched him"...Damn, I hope we see some of the same this year...

And just in case you need a refresher, and you want to see what racing is really about, watch the highlight clip from last years race in the link below...

Looks like Honda might finally be able to get a victory at their own circuit for the first time in 6 or 7 years.

Moe tea g

I hate playing Motegi. Its my worst track... I blame it on the radiation. :lol:

PS- that hayden bit at the start made me :lol. I think he has one more go at GP with a different team before he goes to WSBK.
