    Even though Pedro is strong and seems to come up with a podium placement quite often, VR I think will surpass him in the next few races. The next race may not be where it will happen, as DP is also racing in his homeland and will probably fight very hard to be on the podium, but Rossi will no doubt have a lot of momentum with his win last weekend that this race will be a dicey for sure!

    Aragon should be a great 4 way battle for a podium. My guess is MM back to the top, JL 2nd and a toss up for 3rd between Rossi and Pedrobot. But Dovi seems to get great starts and the tires the Duc's can use are great for the first 5 laps or so then he is in the way. I think the 4 aliens main focus at the start of the race is to make sure they are in front of Dovi at the start.

    Hard to bet against MM on his home track. Where did the nickname for Dani "Pedrobot" come from?

    Also, just read that Jack Miller is making the jump from Moto3 directly to MotoGP for 2015, riding with LCR Honda. How crazy is that?

    I'm not sure that MM did not follow pit in instructions. 2 times they looked ready for a pit in then put it back on stands, I think it may have been his decision not to pit. JL ran a great race, like how him and MM were trading the front spot. Did anyone see what looked like MM telling JL to go on through? What was that? And how fast was crazy Joe's get off? At first the long glass shot made it look rather fast then as it got closer to camera with him flying and the bike doing an egg beater it looked real fast. Rossi's was very scary. Some good racing in Gp. Have not looked at Moto2-3 yet.

    Well it not a done deal yet, wet races, crashes, crying and now a tight race for first. Sykes can't afford to coast to a championship anymore. How about Baz and Marco making their "wins" known before letting their teammates pass? And Marco saying fuck it to Ginto and winning the second race. The team is probably mad at him even though they shook hands the end of the race. Marco was definitely the fastest guy this weekend but its possible he caused his teammate the championship.

    Last time I saw it was 3 years ago, Biaggi's teammate let him pass, won the championship by half a point over Sykes.
