He was riding hard....Stoner started out hard but realized the soft rain tire wasn't gonna go the distance if he kept taxing it at that pace so he eased up.
By the end of the race, the rain tires all looked like slicks....I've never seen tires destroyed to that degree before. Hayden said he could only manage 1/2 throttle on the straights on the last 2 laps or otherwise the rear would spin uncontrolled.
I'm sure Bridgestone is going to be getting an earful about bringing a soft AND hard compound rain tire to each circuit from here on out.
