Crutchlow is a beast this year. (As is Sykes) Hopefully Rossi can pull something together tomorrow. _crosses fingers_ 1 second off pole ain’t TOO bad. (All things considered) ---

(All things considered) I just hope that BS’s won’t be using his reverse gear this round…:rofl VR out qualified NH this time, which he should, so looks like he is struggling with the bike less than usual. ---

I find it amazing how similar Rossi & Nicky always are when it comes to their times, and their positions at the track. Seems they finish within 1 of each other nearly every race, and usually the case in qualifying. Ben Spies needs a killer round. Crutchlow is proving what the Yamaha can do. I’m amazed he out-qualified Lorenzo. It’d be amazing to see Crutchlow on the Tech 3 finish in front of the factory Yamaha’s. ---

I cannot believe that finish. My dad told me when I got home from work this evening, “Final laps of Race 2 was some of the craziest sh\*\* I’ve seen”. So here I am watching … Sykes falls back to 5th, keeps falling back, huge gap… coming up on the last turn, I’m thinking Good Job Haslam & Melandri, poor Tom Sykes after leading 2/3 of the race. Then BAM! :wow:eek3:eek Rea did some _overly aggressive_ riding today throughout the whole race. That’s what makes me shake my head at him for that final turn. He sounded to blame Haslam for “turning back into him”. :Idiots ---
