MotoGP Misano Thread ***SPOILER ALERT***

**pontifex** · 09-16-12, 07:06 AM

Any one else watching live? I'm starting this thread for those that are and have any comments during the race.

Still waiting for the start. The last start was yellow flagged (problem with the starting lights). Not all the riders saw the yellow flags and they dropped the clutch and when the lights went off.

Luckily no one was hurt...could have been bad.

Looks lile they are shortening the race now to 26 or 27 laps

**pontifex** · 09-16-12, 07:08 AM

now they are wheeling pedrosa's bike off the grid

**pontifex** · 09-16-12, 07:13 AM

and they are finally off...pedrosa forced to start from the last row of the grid

**pontifex** · 09-16-12, 07:14 AM

pedrosa is taken out by hector barbera...hopefully someone will step up to challenge jorge

**FAST GSXR750** · 09-16-12, 08:06 AM

ROSSI!!!!!

**pontifex** · 09-16-12, 08:20 AM

Yep, good to see Rossi podium...the fans were thrilled.

The race was behind him though...loved watching Spies make up ground to almost challenge for a podium spot...at least he finished

Bullshit!!! Just not Pedrosa's day.

**FAST GSXR750** · 09-16-12, 08:31 AM

How about Hayden. Great finish with a broken hand. They said he was "Going to fade at the end" lol

**Eddie** · 09-16-12, 08:32 AM

The question remains: why the hell was Pedrosa placed in the back of the grid in the first place?

something about not being able to remove his front tire warmer in time, therefore had a very late start for the warm up lap and he wasn't able to catch the safety car before lining up for the race start

that sucks big time.

His tire warmer got stuck in the front fender.

**FAST GSXR750** · 09-16-12, 12:02 PM

His ego wouldn't fit in his helmet.

Yep, can't say I was disappointed in the way thing's played out today.

**FAST GSXR750** · 09-16-12, 01:43 PM

Don't get me wrong he's a great rider just the attitude he has sucks.

**Eddie** · 09-16-12, 07:53 PM

Pedrosa is definitely one of the greatest riders in Motogp. So he doesn't speak much, but that doesn't make him arrogant.

**FAST GSXR750** · 09-17-12, 07:17 PM

Lost all his cred with me when he threw Nicky Hayden under the bus as a "team mate". Personality of a clam.
