Maybe fighting for the win from the off (not settling for points) is the answer

Fantastic race
hope Ellison gets that new Chassis soon, then again it didn't do Edwards a lot of good.
Caparossi still needs to get back to full fitness, he was quick but faded

I see Bradley Smith finished 12th but with the 9th place rider just ahead. Good result.

To be honest I think Rossi and Burgess planned the season this way. It is the only way he has not won the championship with a bad start to the season and having to catch up from behind. If he is staying in Moto GP, hope we will see him on a Duc!

According to his book he spoke to Ducati but did not want to get involved with all the politics of who's got he best engineered machinery. Japan v Italy.
I would rather see Loris try to win the championship next year due to his hard work, awesome riding style and determination, rather than buy in Rossi.
Sadly I think Loris's injury has put him too far back to catch up and win this year.
I stated on here from the begining they should not have employed Sete.
It would be cool if I was wrong and Loris started to catch up, with more twists and turns so far this is the best season I've seen.

I don't think Ducati will win a championship all the time they're on the Bridgestone rubber - sure, it makes them ultra-competitive at some tracks and gets them regular front-row starts and odd race wins, but over the course of a race and season, Michelin are far more consistent

They would with Rossi riding. Even if he only Battlaxs on the bike....
