Monday, 14 July 2008It was a beautiful on board camera on the straight line in Sachenring when suddenly Pedrosa fell down. It was a massive fall that his bike 'jumped' over the fence, he was hurt I could see that. dr. Claudio Costa already stated that he could miss US Grand Prix if the hand injury he sustained in Germany requires surgery.
Another thing was quite interesting that only Andrea Dovizioso was from Michelin riders who finished in top 5, 40 seconds adrift of winner Casey Stoner.
Rossi indeed has done a great race, he started from 7th grid and fight hard to reclaim 2nd position until t! he end of the race. He assured that he must start from a front row to stop Stoner winning again as Stoner really does have an advantage over his bike and his tires combination. Stoner rode brilliantly and Rossi just lost more time when Elias held his way.
Melandri? I just couldn't say any more, he crashed! and that's it. His manager stated they hope to stay in Ducati until 2009, but I don't see that long, there are no result of Macio's marriage to Ducati and split as soon as possible is the best answer for both of them, his fortunes ! really contradictory with the man who is in Suzuki now, Loris ! Capiross i. It is 110% that he will renew his contract. Karma for Macio? oh, no way... it's just racing... :)
