Yes, the economy is so bad that Yamaha couldn't afford to put enough fuel in Ben's bike to finish the race :smt013

Well I suppose a disclaimer"spoiler" title wouldve worked but hell its was like three days ago??

I like that, whens the last time you watched a bike run out of fuel??
And only 100 yds from the end after 75 miles, the Ducatis were chewing @ his heels the entire race. But did you see the guy afterwards??

No bullshit hitting his bike or throwing shit,no sulking he just waved to the crowd talking to spectators then went right back to work!!

The europeans really like the kid..big time.The crowds were going wild during and after the race.
Im starting to think he might be the best pure racer EVER to come out of America. He might not have the world titles to go with such a statement He may not as the racing scene is so different now and dominated by europeans, But I think that kid is capable of winning on any given day whereever he goes. Hard to belive the guys from America and from Texas no doubt :smt005
Sometimes the best racer doesntwin the championship,remember Haydens championship a few years ago?? Rossi had some bad luck..theres ZERO doubt who the best rider is..and by a million miles its not even a contest. And your watching it it WSK this year..BY A ROOKIE Who really never has raced on the elite circuts of the world .

I couldn't agree more. How long do you think it will be before he gets a GP ride?

I feel his pain though...He was probably working 12 hr days and just didnt get time to ck it out, then the title had no warning, just not what youd expect for a race topic :smt005

He probpably started reading and then went AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. FUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!! :smt013 All the anticipation of sitting down and watching on the edge of your seat with a cold beer and chips....well...not its all gone... POOF!.... just like that :smt009

Nothing up there at all.It's an exit but I wouldn't expect you to understand that.It's just zero tolerance for vapid thoughtlessness.And you cannot call me "bro".

You can not expect everyone in the world to be as hardcore about the racing as you (or I).

I stay off bike sites completely until I see the races. I learned very quickly that this is the only sure way to avoid being f_cked over.

I wont do that again, sorry guys. I was thinking it was even tuesday at the time and it had been seen by most. Personally I don't mind knowing the outcome, and if I do then I am careful. If I can't watch the race, but I have access to a computer, I will look, I just can't wait. The race and what happens during it are of the most importance to me not so much the outcome, but of coarse, that's just me.
