Unbelievable!

Pedrosa crashed teammate Nicky on the second lap -took him out of the championship lead!

Roberts Jr got 3rd. Was leading but didn't know there was another lap to go.

Tone Elias took Rossi at the flag.

Nicky now 8 points behind Rossi.

Does it get any better? Does it get any worse?

PEDROSA is a freaking A__HOLE. I think Nicky should of beat his a_s in the sandtrap. He should have Aaron Yates'ed him. I always get a little pig headed when angry, but if I was Nicky I would personal ditch the contract with Honda and try with another manufacterer. Yamaha had team orders for Colin to protect Valentino, why the heck couldnt Honda have had a talk with Pedrosa to stay away from Nicky? Yamaha admitted they had team orders, Honda admitted they didnt, NO EXCUSE. Its like Honda doesnt want Nicky to win the championship. They make there number one rider test new clutches on a bike thats not even gonna be racing in 2007. Then for this to happen. Im at a freaking loss right now.

I figured Nicky would have knocked the piss out him, if Predosa wasn't 5ft 1, 98 lbs.

I'd have thought that every Honda out there would've been protecting Nicky. But his own teammate? WOW.

The rest of the race was great. Yoo bad KRJR didn't hang on.

Did you hear what Nicky Haydens Crew Cheif said during the telecast when interviewed by Mark Bracks.....

"That was pharking disgracefull, oh shyte, sorry about the French there.....some team mate he is......."

I wonder how much longer he'll be working for Repsol Honda.

IMHO, Pedrosa should taken be out the back and given an attitude adjustment.

That is a down right shame!!!! I really wanted to see Nicky win the championship. That is a pretty messed up situation to put your team mate in. The be in the lead and then be taken out like that.

AHG! I missed it. Had to sand a subfloor yesterday,so I can put down cement board today. I'm hoping my brother taped it. The stinkin' little twirp! Not only was I pulling for Nicky for the championship. I've been pulling for KRjr to win one too. He's been in the top 10 consistantly, but short of podiums.

This being one of the best seasons of racing because my guy was on top and to have his teammate take his out is crazy. I was jumping all around when I saw the Honda’s go down. I could not believe that Pedrosa was just waving off the crash when he took Nicky out. As a teammate he should have went over to his bike to see if he could get it up and running again.
After the crash I was sure that Rossi was going to make a break and there would be nothing left to watch. To my surprise KR made a pass on Rossi what is going on. If KR who has not had a podium all season got in front of Rossi I am sure Nicky would be up there at the end too if not for Pedrosa.
Valencia should be good.

I woudn't count Nicky out. He shoud have no pressure, he's the hunter now with not a damned thing to lose. Anyone with a Honda motor better clear the way.

Honda shoud send Predorsa to the Kosovo super mini bike series.

Did anyone see Illmor's new bike? I didn't know that was coming. Suzuki should pay him to stamp their emblem in the side covers.

Even though Nicky is not leading the points he is still looking for the title. I am sure that there is some real cash involved in getting the title. He is wanting that just as much as before.
The orders from Honda should come down that Pedrosa take out Rossi and give Nicky his shot.

Yep sure did - good thing a smart Aussie was riding it - came in to the pits with an electrical problem not once but twice - and shot straight back out again - took 15th place and 1 championship point -

Go Mr Squiggle (aka Garry McCoy)

Thats what that "race" was, Nickey SHOULD give Pedorsa and Honda an ass kickin'! I've gotta admit I'm torn between rooting for Nickey or Rossi. Hey I'm Amercian but I'm also for anything that whips Honda.Here's something else check out Greg Whites blog where he "infers" Honda , Michelin and other Higher up's don't want the Kentucky Kid to win. Wouldn't suprise me to find out Pedorsa WAS given orders form somewhere. Would still like to see Nickey pull it off and really give Rossi a race for the last one. Seeing KRjr on the box again was awsome too(even if it is Honda motored).

Sorry forgot to put Greg's site on last night....
www.gregontv.com another rant....NascarTv...I mean Speed did us a disservice by taking away Greg's Garage and giving us "Stunters". I do believe they have thier place and Sportbike isn't awful....but it was nice seeing highlights and race clips without waiting for the nascar stuff to run.

I guess I'm not too wise in the ways of motorcycle politics, so what's up with the conspiracy rumours running around Nicky Haden

I mean Nicky is a very good maybe even a great rider, but if Rossi hadn't been having motorcycle troubles in the first half of the year would the points even be close?

I've heard that Honda doesn't want Nicky to win the championship, so they made him test crappy clutches for a few races, and now they are giving orders to Pedrosa to take him out?? I guess I don't see the advantage or more importantly the money that Honda would gain from this (and make no mistake if this is happening sombody is making money). If the MotoGP guys are behind it--again I don't see the advantage. If you were creating a blood fued between Rossi and Hayden to boost vewership it would make sense, but that isn't happening. If Rossi wins the championship--so what?? everybody's seen it before. If Hayden wins--they have can exploit the "favorite son" line to tap into the North American market.

Like I said I don't know a lot about the politics, but couldn't it just be mismanagement and bad luck, coupled with a great racer (Rossi) making a comeback from a rough start to the season?
