Motegi results / GP News

Another boring race. The results already determined with five laps left in it. That's awesome.

Thanks go to Nakano for the last lap excitement, which I would have missed if the Redskins hadn't been in a commercial break. For a good split second we were all cheering for you, or were we just cheering against Gibernau?

High five to Hayden, don't worry man, if you try hard enough I'm sure you can lose the series.

Melandri has signed with Ducati for next year and Nakano is going to Minolta/Honda.

Pedrosa's less than strong showings these last two weeks have pissed all over my predictions. I really thought he'd be competing for first in points instead of third.

the rain messed with his head too much.

hayden - mr. lucky.

where did nakano think he was going?

capirossi & melandri for the dominantation next year

Compared to most of the other races this season, it wasn't very exciting. Good for Capirossi and Gibby the Horse Face for showing everyone that geriatrics can still compete in MotoGP.

I said it last week and I'll say it again, Melandri looks like he should have a big curly mustache, and he probably runs straight from the interview booth to go tie a woman up on a train track.

I think HRC has their collective heads on straight letting Nicky work on solidifying the 990 rather than waste a day on the 800.

LMAO! I was looking at his moustache during the press conference too, it does look funny.

Hmm, time for a photochop...

You sure? Those are the rumors but I haven't seen anywhere that either rider is signed to their respective rumored teams. For both of them it would be a good move I think. Only x-factor is that Melandri has never rode on Bridgestones and apparently there is a learning curve there. Still, all Italian riders for Ducati would be great for them.

Nope you're right, looks like I read over-sensationalized articles. My fault for not paying more attention.
