Spoiler - Estoril Race

 Boy, what a race. You don't get much more drama than that.

So. 8 points the other way.

What was Pedrosa thinking? Do whatever you like but *DON'T TAKE OUT YOUR
TEAM MATE*

 Rossi wasn't as on form as he would have liked and had Pedrosa and Hayden
been there to the end I think they may have been in with a good shot to
finish ahead of him.

My Stoner prediction came true, although a bit earlier than I anticipated,
pity Sete got taken out though.

Still it's not over yet, 8 points is nothing.

Or tied, if you deduct 8 points from the last race.  (It was 8, right?)
 And advantage Rossi for more wins.

I hate to see Nicky lose this way, but on the bright side, if Rossi
wins in 2 weeks, nobody will be talking about the european conspiracy
to rob Hayden of the title.

I have a feeling Pedorosa reads this group and apparently he's a big
fan of Mark Nosebaum.

A shame, really. Hayden was right there in the leaders mix. The same
can not be said of every occasion with Rossi this year.


A huge mistake that should cost him. If I was Honda I'd demote him to
250cc for a year, to say the least. What the %$#@! was that? There was
a gap and he had the speed. Then do it and stick to it. His after race
excuse sounded lame, why on earth would he go on the brakes on the
corner apex when he already was inside Hayden? I think he overcooked it
and lost the front, never using the brakes. Asshole move considering
what was at stake. At least I was glad that Hayden didn't get injured,
it looked quite bad for a sec out there!

But how about Elias and Roberts? Wow. What a friggin' pass by Elias,
may have been one of the best moves of the year!

I feel awfully bad for Hayden. He's made no mistakes of his own
whatsoever. And now he gets involved in an incident through no fault of
his own. B*tch of a way to define the championship. Mind you, with 8
points everything is possible.
