Is that how you'd describe every rider in the field other than Rossi?
Jeez, you're as bad as that clown with the ass scars.

Nope, just how I'd describe someone who is unable to challenge Rossi
directly while being on the best bike in the field.
If not for the crashes and injuries to Melandri, Capirex, and Rossi
this championship would be long finished and Hayden would be
languishing around 3rd or 4th as per usual.

I have to say that it justifies my support for Rossi the way he was
racing for the win at the end. He could easily have settled for a
safe 3rd, with Colin behind him, and let KR and Elias slug it out.
But no, he was wheel to wheel with them over the last few laps, going
as hard as ever. That's why he's so popular.

All I can say is Honda gets what they deserved.....yet another defeat at the
hand of Rossi.
In their desire to have Pedrosa win the championship (even though he barely
had a shot)
they didn't have any team orders. I am not talking about the Colin Edwards
type of orders
that I am sure would prohibit him from finishing the race in front of
Valentino, but just team
orders to not race so aggressively with Nicky...at least so early in the
race. What a moron.
And I think all of the euros that have claimed KRJR can't ride and had a
fluke championship
owe him an apology. The guy can obviously ride if he has a half way decent
bike.

Agreed, Tsutomu Ishii should find a sword and fall on it..

Yeah, WTF was up with all that? Like he thought he was gonna win it by L5?
