At the beginning of the show they said that Hayden injured his foot. I think it's bad luck to have a camera on the bike like Stoner had. Those bikes always seem to crash.

Remember the Super Moto pics of Hayden? turns out he hurt his heal and caused him to miss this race.

they were saying at the start of the race (on the video I downloaded) that they'd be suprised if a mich. finished higher than 7th.

damn... Stoner and Pedrosa basicly handed Rossi the championship... 50pt lead! fuck.


one race till INDY!!!!!

Hayden got injured at the X games. Go figure...

Sweet race. DePuniet goes down and I was like "What else is new", then Stoner wrecked and I clapped my hands. The battle between the Zuks and Kawis was damn good.

What the fuck is wrong with Michelin?

They don't have the opportunity to ship better tires from the factory, they have to run what they brung now and they suck at that. Bridgestone has just been making awesome track rubber as well.

Control tire. Bridgestone should be the control tire. Two years in a row Michelin has sucked balls at the highest level of racing.
