The latest MotoGP round in Sepnag has left a sort of bitter taste in the mouth: with Dani Pedrosa sailing away alone towards his third win in arow, it looked like Jorge Lorenzo was going to pay for his bad tyre choice (he got a soft tyre at the rear whereas the Honda pair had the hard ones), with Casey Stoner chasing him and cutting the gap significantly stint after stint.
Then the rain came and the red flags appeared, preventing the current world champion from overtaking the Yamaha rider: had he completed the manouvre, team mate Pedrosa would have been just 19 points behind his fellow countryman in the standings, rather than the 23 he will still need to catch up in the last two races of the season.
Pedrosa surely wasn’t happy with the outcome, but all in all the decision was right as more and more riders were slipping off the track before the race direction decided to call it a day.
We just hope that this nice bunch of ladies spotted at the Sepang track could lift the spirit of the Honda rider as much as they did with us.
