It's over - take two (spoiler)

 

The MotoGP championship, that is.  With a 50 point lead now, I don't
see how Rossi can lose this one.

So, what happened? I take it Stonah ate pie, or somethin' else unsavory..

Btw, if it's not a typo our beloved Speed Channel is only showing 250 today..

 


Stoner did his customary disappearing act, but Rossi was just reeling
him in (down to 1.2s) when he choked. Hard to say exactly what happened
but maybe he dug a footrest in, and/or lost the front and back together.
Whatever, his race was over. His previous lap was a lap record and he
was on lap record pace. The two of them were trading red and blue
markers on the timing screens.

Stoner has hardly put a foot wrong for 18 months now but that's twice in
2 races. Has Rossi got to him?


They said Doohan was doing the commentary for CBS in the USA.

Ahh, that's right CBS is doing some GP, hope the TIVO snags it...

 



SPEED had the brilliant idea to broadcast the 250GP race in the same
timeslot as MotoGP on CBS.  It all depends on how your Tivo wishlists
are prioritized.
