Was a great ride from Cal, I thought he would have a chance at Dani, Though he will get that podium if he continues his current form, What struck me as more of an indicator of his great performance was the fact he got fastest lap, That was really impressive. He has really got to grips with the 1000`s.
Well done to Stoner too, Although I hate the Aussie moaner he rode well to keep Lorenzo at bay on a circuit that he dislikes and a circuit that Jorge loves, Thought the race was a bit bland and dull though and this seems to be an expected scenario at most rounds of the Moto gp season and this is compounded even more this year with the loss of Marco and the demise of the Ducati`s...Talking of which.
Both Rossi and Hayden had poor races again in 8th and 9th and one must wonder what Ducati can do to change their inherent problem, This problem with front end feeling seems to plague them no matter what they do. At this moment I feel for Rossi, Being over 2 secs slower than Nicky must be soul destroying and the lack of a competitive bike must be compounding his woes, The Duke needs a strong rider who wants to ride it, Not coax it through bends like a Yamaha demands, For me Nicky suits the duke far better than Rossi and this must be a bit of an ego bashing for Rossi, I hope and pray that Ducati can tame their monster and give VR and Nicky a competitive bike, But history tells us that is unlikely and chances are they will never recover that elusive 1 sec gap needed to get to the top.
Spies also has to give himself a kick up the rear, His performances have really been far worse than Rossi, On a top works yammy and he turns in performances like this....not good enough, Give Cal the ride!!
