God hates MotoGP. This is the second round in a row that has been all but washed out. Saturday's qualifying was scrapped altogether due to massive rainstorms and small lakes forming on the track. As a result, the starting grid was set based on Friday's practice times, which put the housewives' favorite Rossi on pole. Rossi got the rabbit's start, fuddled around a bit, and got reeled in and passed for the lead by my personal friend Jorge 'King Midas' Lorenzo. While Rossi dicked around with a charging Pedrosa, Lorenzo gapped those two and set off into the sunset...which turned out to be a huge Japanese flag. Nicky Hayden's race lasted about 3/4 of a lap before he got torpedoed by local ladyboy Takahashi. I hope Haystack finds some luck soon, or his season looks to be headed in a very 'Melandri' direction. Speaking of Melandri, he managed to gallop his way to a 6th place finish aboard the Dorna-sponsored Kawasaki Hayabusa. Extra sugar cubes for you, my friend. That said...Lorenzo took his first win of the season and now holds a commanding 1 point lead in the MotoGP championship. Nice work, little dude. Next stop...Jerez.
