MotoGP round 8 Sachsenring 07/18/10 *SPOILER THREAD* - Page 2

Damn..they just red flagged the race.

DePuniet crashed....then Espargaro hit his bike HARD...took out Bautista too...the Suzuki caught fire...Espargaro and DePuniet both look hurt.

The German marshals are doing a FANTASTIC job this week-end...they were QUICK about getting the red flags out yesterday during QP too....and are doing a great job getting the concrete dust out and getting the track ready to go. Very professional.

It's now a 21 lap race....using the classification at the time of the crash for the restart. Only 13 riders left eligible to compete. It's almost a joke at this point. :/

DePuniet has a broken left leg...Lorenzo and Pedro-bot having a slug-fest at the front....Stoner chasing for third....Rossi up to 4th after a multi lap battle with Dovi. 15 laps to go.

Pedro-bot to the lead with a new lap record...1:21.917...he's trying to break away...doesn't look like Lorenzo can hang with him...already a .5 gap.

9 laps to go...Pedro-bot is away at the front...Lorenzo can't catch him. The battle is between Rossi and Stoner for 3rd. It would be fucking AMAZING to see Rossi on the podium in his first race back.

Rossi just took Stoner for 3rd.

6 laps to go. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Casey Moaner lose....such a whiny little bitch.

Fuck me....Stoner pinched 3rd from Rossi at the final corner. Put a Rossi on Rossi...gotta hand it to him.

Pedrosa
Lorenzo
Stoner
Rossi

Late edit:

Just read that Espargaro broke the C6 vertebrate in his neck after t-boning DePuniet's bike and getting launched over the bars....the grid is likely down to 15 bikes for the race next week at Laguna Seca. :/

Gotta give credit to Stoner on that last corner pass.

Mr Lefty · 07-19-2010, 07:50 AM

yeah that was a tough pass to pull off...

damn De Puniet was having a fuck'n career year! now he's busted BOTH bones in his shifting leg! Rossi only busted the Tibia... and on his right leg... De Puniet has busted the Tibia and Fibula in his left... he's gone till next season easy

KSGregman · 07-19-2010, 08:06 AM

Wow....

It's rumored that Roger Lee Hayden is being given DePuniet's LCR Honda for the race at Laguna Seca.

He finished 10th at Laguna on a Kawi-sucki wild card ride a couple of years ago.

Gotta give it to Stoner. That last pass was great. I agree with the announcers. I think Rossi expected the pass attempt at 13. Instead, Stoner waited to 14

Stoner set him up perfectly....Rossi took the defensive inside line at 13...Stoner took a very wide line at 13...Rossi then had the wider line at 14 allowing Stoner to use the drive coming out of 13 to beat him to the apex at 14. Put a Rossi on Rossi...hats off to him, I guess.

He's still a whiny little bitch, though.

I wish Rossi had made the podium but that was a nice pass by Stoner.
