I agree... who ever gets the fastest times in free practice.... that's the control tire for that track.

still allows the tire manufactures to fight it out... but puts the teams on a level field... Bruno was such a cluster fuck because of it... West 5th? Pedrosa was what 12th?

Sweet race. DePuniet goes down and I was like "What else is new", then Stoner wrecked and I clapped my hands. The battle between the Zuks and Kawis was damn good.

What the fuck is wrong with Michelin?

What a dumbass. That's like Tony Stewart running the local Outlaws race at the fairgrounds.

You're in the pinnacle of MC racing and pull something boneheaded like that. He deserves it.

I haven't heard great things about them, everyone recommends their DOT tires though.

The GP 250 races was exciting anyway.....

Yeah I was glad to see Rossi get another win and pad his lead even more.. but other than that it was boring really. Nice to see some old names doing well this week.

OTB had a fresh set of 002's on his Bimota last year when I rode it. I had no complaints from them. The new one's might be even better.

The battle for 2nd-5th was hardly boring. Once Rossi was out in front by himself they focused on that battle and it was tight. Their reactions (on gp.com) to Elias were classic.

That'd be crazy, especially after years of domination with Michelin. I wonder if they'll amend the rule again to help Michelin?

I kind of read it as an FU to Repsol.
