How about Laguna Suca?

This year's round of MotoGP at the Laguna Seca circuit was nothing short of underwhelming. In fact, it sucked. The only things that were impressive being the performance of Casey Stoner who punished the field from start to finish. He flicked that Ducati through the corkscrew like he was on a bmx bike. Flawless.

Tough guy award goes to Marco Melandri who raced into a podium position with a broken ankle. The x-rays didn't show it immediately but follow up x-rays confirmed it after the race. Nice one Kurtis!

Did anyone notice the giant red, white, and blue bowling ball that wiped out nearly the entire field of American riders? I think there must have been twenty or so on the grid and the last man standing was Roger Lee Hayden (a wild card rider racing a very unfamiliar bike nonetheless). At least he got tenth. He went on to win his Supersport race too.

Nicky Hayden took care of himself and Hopkins on the first hairpin at turn two of the first lap. He first blew the turn trying to make up too many places off the start and then he abruptly hooked right back into Hopper who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'll bet Hayden's off Hopper's xmas card list this year. Cross them off the list of top finishers too.

Edwards had his usual backwards run through the field. Tires? Maybe. Whatever. See ya!

Miguel "My pussy hurts" Duhamel said his head just wasn't in the game. He took a tumble earlier in the weekend and he just wasn't into it. He said he'd like more time on the bike next time. Guess what? There isn't going to be a next time. If he would've just stuck it out he probably could've finished second in the American contingent. It wouldn't have been hard.

The fool me twice award goes to this years resurfacing of the track. They used every technology available to them and still managed to put plenty of bumps into a brand new surface. I guess the bikes didn't have enough chatter so they added some in. Did they have an army tank race earlier in the month?

I almost forgot to mention the ridiculous amount of advertising and continuous interruption to the racing courtesy of Speedvision. Thanks, dickheads!
