Thumbs up Round 10 Laguna Seca 07/24/11 *SPOILERS*

wOOt!!!...MotoGP racing in the good 'ol USA Lots of good stuff to talk about, like the fact that the last two GP races have been close, and a blast to watch...Also...

--AMA rider Ben Bostrom will be riding with Elias on the Honda 212V
--Burgess will re-join Rossi after being gone for two races
--Pedrosa appears to be healthy enough to make every race interesting at the front
--Lorenzo has out raced Stoner for two straight races
--Spies has passed Simoncelli on the last corner of the last lap for two straight races
--Hayden is going backwards
--Dovizioso is still as consistent as anyone on the grid

I've lost any respect I ever had for stoner or Lorenzo with the refusal to ride at motegi. Go anyone else.

A lot of the riders have voiced their dismay about going there, and are waiting for an independent study before they make a public announcement about if they'll go...

Why is that, because of the earthquake?

I haven't seen anything about that. What's his reasoning? Still scarred from teh battle with Rossi last year?

Motegi is 100km (roughly 62 miles) from the site of the biggest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. The food is contaminated...the water is contaminated....hell, more shit vents out of the plant while they are there and the air could be contaminated too.

I wouldn't go either....not for money....not for anything.

Well that makes sense. Losing respect for someone refusing to go, not so much.

I wasn't aware of the proximity.
