Wet race.

Watch it.

For about 2 laps before the incident, Rossi was fastest on track by a large margin.

So...Rossi is a better rider? Who woulda thunk it? It's not like he has nine championships or something.

My buddy called me like 11 fucking times at work, and 4 texts saying "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god", every time something happened. But then he wouldnt tell me what happened. Douche.

I thought the pass was completely foolish for a rider of that caliber. He had the speed and would have easily had him on the next few corners.

I was furious when Pedrosa took out Hayden (even though it was under completely different circumstances), so I see Stoners side.

I atleast give Rossi credit for feeling bad and going to apologize.

It was a stupid move, but all he could see was Lorenzo.

It was shaping up to be a battle at the front. Sucks that it went the way it did. Still an entertaining race

Every time I looked up, someone was down or off track. Speed's coverage was only about 1 lap behind the timing on the MotoGP site, which was shocking.
