First, everyone goes slow in qualifying to make Rossi look better and widen the odds (McCoy was included in this sidepot as well because, even though the bike was too slow to make a difference, they felt bad for him).
Then Rossi crashes out but makes sure that the bike doesn't stall so it looks like he might still have a chance.
Finally, Hayden makes sure that there is clear space in front and behind him just in case anyone bashes him. In a small court in Alabama last week, Hayden was granted a restraining order requiring Pedrosa to stay at least 50 feet from him.
I've been in on this for a week and will be down to Ladbrokes to collect my winnings tomorrow - didn't you get Dibble's text message?
