Sepang: Not really a spoiler but be warned...

[smf]

You all missed the BBC broadcast - 1.5 hour with far superior coverage. Lorenzo cruises off with the Spanish flag over his shoulder and in a matter of seconds it was wrapped around his sprocket. CWs had to lift the rear and work at it to get it free, he almost had to get a ride to the box minus his bike!

i forgot about that. f'ing _awesome_

and yeah. bbc feed is the best.

RELATIONSHIP WITH JORGE LORENZO:

He and I get along great...right now. You don’t’ know how it’s going to be in six months or a year. But as of right now… he’s a great guy he’s super fast—I hope to learn something from him. A couple people try to make a big deal about the last race [Sepang] on the cool down lap when I went to congratulate him. He didn’t congratulate me. But he was so caught up in the moment with the championship he never even knew I was beside him. I got two text messages from him that night after he watched the race saying ‘hey Ben, it’s Jorge Lorenzo, I apologize. I just watched the race and I never saw you come up to congratulate me’. He personally invited me up to his dinner party with his team. Things aren’t always what they seem. I’ll be sitting down at dinner minding my own business and he’ll come over and kind of sit down for a second and talk about the track or the day or whatever. He’s actually a good guy and I do like him a lot. Like I said, we get along fine right now… you never what’s going to happen. I’m the type of guy I can get along with you and race you the same as if I didn’t get along with you. It doesn’t make a difference for me. But at the end of the day it makes it a lot easier to get along with your teammate, but I think we’ll get along just fine.

You're doing it wrong...

[Jason P.]

He's good at what he does.

He sucks at being good about it. Dislike him, i think he's way to cocky way too early. NEXT SEASON I HOPE ROSSI RAPES HIM A NEW ONE.

[brady]

I figured out why his victory celebrations are so annoying. He reminds me of Tom Cruise, trying way too hard to act like he thinks he should.

Rossi, on the other hand, seems genuine, when he's predominantly happy and enjoying himself and even when he's not.

You're doing it wrong...

at least he and the bike are nicely synchronized!
