Quote:Nicky's got problems competing on the world stage.:?: The man is leading the championship, that doesn't make any sense.
I don't know what happened to Nicky on the start but he got a huge break with the rain. Without it I think Rossi would have won.
In the rain he put in a strong charge though and did what he needed to do to limit points damage. Maybe he could've been a little more aggressive to stay in front of Rossi but in the end Rossi is the one that has to take risks to close a huge points gap, not Nicky.
I'd like to know what happened to Pedrosa. He's said before that his rain riding is weak but I wouldn't think that weak, maybe he had a problem with his injuries (or the bike).
