I'm also the Doctor's fan. I wonder why he let Lorenzo win the last race in Le Mans.

He might be doing it on purpose, as he is known to slow down his M1 to let others pass by and then to speed up and beat them again with his outstanding cornering skills. This guy is a tease

Maybe he is letting Lorenzo win more races this year as they both are team mates, or maybe he wants Lorenzo to win this year's title, since Rossi won 2009's title :-!

They way he was riding his bike in the last few races, he doesnt seem to be himself!

He Is carrying a shoulder injury that might having an effect at the end ... and the yamaha is not the fastest bike on the track at the time ... they have to swith the setting to save the fuel till the end of the race .... there are alot of factor involved in it .. Rossi Won Let anyone take the title like that nor easily ....
And dont Take Stoner Or Lorenzo easy ...lorenzo is an agressive rider and stoner ride the wheels off that ducati ... but the bike's front end isnt helping him at the moment as he starts to pull the gap back he falls off ... so there is something wrong with the front end ... i can bet once he got rid of that problem you'll see what he can do

Stoner fell at the start of the race HAHAHAHAHAHA

thankyou ... stoner will rise and shine...
but i did say that lorenzo will win (H) ...

and blackeye aka eddie is right...though i didn't watch the race but i think rossi is going easy b/c of his injury...he won't let lorenzo win the title that easily its not in the nature of competitive drivers unless some strong 'team orders' are there...

Team Orders?? What team orders???
One of the reasons why MotoGP doesnot have any major controversy is the lack of team orders. These riders are on their own throughout the race and only team orders they could get is before the race start which they could easily ignore.

Also these are Riders and not Drivers so please call them Riders and not Drivers.

@Meeteepao
Rossi would not easily let the title out of his hand that I could assure you, the only question is how long it takes to recover from the shoulder injury, and I think he will be back in the next race.

u never know buddy...F1 virus can get to them too...there's always the first time..

genius83 (Mohammad Saad Umar) 2010-05-27 04:29:42 +0500 #67

@m_waqas
Yes, I am serious because if you are reading the news articles they all mention them as Riders and not Drivers. So thats why I said that.

No it is not possible for F1-Virus to hit MotoGP because in F1 pit to car both way radio talk is allowed while in MotoGP no pit to bike communication is allowed hence how could the team proceed a team order to favour any Rider.

Shedding some light on Stoner's crashes
Casey Stoner has endured a miserable start to the season and, with two falls in three races, he's down in 14th in the standings. Toby Moody sheds some light on the Australian's problems.
There is a bet that the Ohlins suspension guys have in their truck to guess the top five finishers in the MotoGP race. I went in on Sunday morning to chalk up my favoured riders' names only to be told that the rules had changed since Jerez in that you can nominate your riders after the morning warm-up. I narrowly missed out on winning it in Jerez, having got the podium picked together with fifth and sixth, so I had a spring in my step as I climbed the steps into their mobile works

MotoGP
Edwards: “We haven’t lost any engine power”
As one of the more seasoned riders in the MotoGP paddock Colin Edwards’ view on technical rule changes is one based on a wealth of previous experience, and the Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider – currently in his eighth campaign in the World Championship – has discussed how the 2010 engine regulations have influenced his season so far.

Bridgestone slicks prove consistency and durability
With the track temperature peaking at 48ºC during Sunday’s Monster Energy Grand Prix de France race, the softer compound slick tyres provided by Bridgestone managed the conditions perfectly to ensure durability and consistency throughout the 28-lap race.

Moto2
Solid progress paying off for Simone Corsi
Runner-up in the 2008 125cc World Championship with five victories and seven podiums, Simone Corsi had already proven his potential to challenge at the top before the 2010 season got underway, and last weekend the 23 year-old secured his first podium finish in the Moto2 class with third place at Le Mans.

‘Aspar’ happy with chassis switch
The first Moto2 race for the Mapfre Aspar team on the Suter chassis ended in success on Sunday, as Julián Simón secured his and the team’s first podium finish of the 2010 campaign in the intermediate class.

125CC
Podium fight satisfies Smith
Bradley Smith felt a vast improvement on board his Aprilia over the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France weekend, and was delighted with the step up in the level of performance of his machine.

In an extended interview with motogp.com General Manager of Ducati Corse, Filippo Preziosi, discusses the recent history of the Italian manufacturer in MotoGP and explains how the development team were able to work on the configuration of the Desmosedici engine without being subject to any marketing directives from the company.
