So, this is the last race of the 2012 MotoGP race season. Here's the highlights from my perspective.

--Lorenzo is the champ. Will he race very hard this round?
--Pedrosa is once again 2nd at the end of the year. He sure has been strong lately, though
--Stoner finishes his motorcycle racing career this round. Will he go out with a "W"?
--Rossi end his 2 year nightmare with Ducati this round. Can I get an amen?

Your thoughts?

Wow. Just wow. Do yourselves a favor and watch the Moto2 race - friggin incredible!! Kind of a Moto2 spoiler below (not really but I'm hiding it just in case).

 

I wasn't a Marquez fan at first but that's really starting to change now. He's very fast, very aggressive, pretty darn consistent, not a whiny bitch, no lame celebrations - he's taken the best from JLo, Stoner and Rossi (in the pre-Ducati era). This guy is destined to become a MotoGP legen IMO.

Meh. It's the passer's responsibility to get it done safely. That move was on whoregay. I don't like him, personally, but that crash looked NASTY.

Rossi just got lapped by Pedrosa
Total horseshit. Man, I can't wait to see Rossi back in the blue and white..

Nakasuga 2nd!!
Great showing by the wildcard!

Now going along with what I said two weeks ago...

Pedrosa only had to finish in front of Lorenzo in Australia, and if he had... he'd be champion right now.
Coulda woulda shoulda... If Bautista wouldn't have knocked off Whoregay early on, there would be a different story. Maybe.


..and the same can be said for Stoner. Racing is racing.

Yeah that looked like it sucked, he's going to be a hurting unit tomorrow.

yeah, he only lost by 18 cuz he crashed out in round 17.

Had he stayed in AND finished ahead of Lorenzo He would be champion.

Actually even if he took 3rd in Australia and JLo took 4th they would have ended in a tie... I dunno how tie breakers work here, but if it is based on wins Pedrosa finished one ahead.

Anyways, like max said coulda, woulda, shoulda... I just wanted to point it out.

Lorenzo's crash looked ugly today, and he got fucked over by backmarkers twice in this race.
