MotoGP 2013

Well dome Smith :) Cal can't get to grips with the track.

So Lorenzo is out :( but who will take his place?

no one will unless he misses next weeks race also

on a side note, Pedrosa has been taken to hospital by helicopter for examination. Light cerebral concussion suspected
so if it is confirmed to be concussion depending on the time of the start of the race he wont be able to race, as you cant race for at least 24hrs after getting concussion .
poor dani its looking like he is jinxed never to win the title

update
dani out of quali but if able to race will start 12th

If Pedrosa can race then even if he potters round in 12th it'll still be points gained over Lorenzo. If Jorge also misses Laguna Seca then he could have more than a race win advantage in points by a week in Monday.

Less than two tenth in it up front. Should be a good race.

Bradl will end up in the gravel though.

Shame Rossi and Cal are so far off the lead in terms of the championship. This could have made it interesting.
 
lastest news today is Lorenzo will also miss next weeks US gp
no news on if they have a replacement rider in mind yet, but in the past its been a jap test rider.

Pedrosa passed medical and will start warm up

update on that, he has now decided not to do morning warmup and will have another medical check before the race and go from there.
its not looking good that he will race

update on the update lol
dani not racing after all

Well done Cal you would have won if your start was better. Well done to Bradley looks like Marquez has won the championship.

Marquez and Cal get on very well, could we see Cal with Marquez at Honda?

Pedrosa will be looking to come back next weekend in Laguna Seca although Lorenzo is out of that one. Dani will beat Marquez and Rossi/Crutchlow can also beat him on their day. TBH Lorenzo won't be that far behind by missing two races but it'll be a hard won title if he brings it back.
