Lorenzo seems be doing well on the Yam

[poo at Paul's]

Cheesy as fook! Brilliant. They all look a bit hammy, but Colin's a bit too good at these comedy acting things IMO! I can see him doing some acting stuff when he retires!

[woof]

Colin Edwards owns it !!

Lorenzo - amazing pole.
Going to be a good one tomorrow

I wonder if tomorrow will be the championship "game changer" like it was in 2009 when Rossi bullied his way past Stoner at the Corkscrew.

After that manoeuvre, Stoner was beaten.

This year, Casey - after the first few races - seemed unstoppable, yet now George is just 15 points behind with the Yam looking stronger and stronger.

<cockonblock>I reckon, if George wins at Laguna, he'll go on to win the championship.</cockonblock>

Pretty convincing win for Stoner. Though you have to think that Lorenzo wasn't anywhere near being totally fit and had to have an effect during the race.

Laguna Seca - probably the best race circuit in the world. Though it might be something to do with the californian sunshine.

stoner is only at 80% fitness aswell, after his highside in germany. theres a photo of his ankle on twitter somewhere

[woof]

Are there any 100% fit riders on the grid ?!

Really enjoy watching the motorcycles around Laguna - seems to work far better for them as a circuit than it does for cars.

The move was incredible.

There is a difference between "going for the gap" and riding down the white line that separated Lorenzo’s position from the outfield - but Stoner's confidence in a positive outcome was unbelievable.

Definitely, skill and ambition were in sync.
