    I'd be your umbrella guy to go there. It'll definitely be interesting to see how Qatar goes, but he'll still have about two weeks to train before then.

    Yeah, im gunna bet he cleans up in Qatar still... Although if he's not winning he's usually wrecking/causing wrecks.

    He should have been American.

    well, I guess it wasn't entirely his fault.. however, his little contact with Pedrosa sent his teammate into orbit due to knocking his TC out of commission.

    Its just racing though. I am definitely a huge Fan of this kid.

    That was a 1:10000000000 chance, I bet if he wanted to he couldn't do it again. I bet most riders take out dani's back wheel in that situation. Anything else was on his own, he didn't dive bomb anyone etc. the dude finds the limits the best way he knows how.

    Exactly.. There is no "calming down" at the pinnacle of road racing, Rossi calmed down and he's a solid 4th place guy. Could he crash less, prob so but he won't find that edge that wins races.

    Look back to Lorenzo's rookie year, dude crashed his brains out.
