im not fussed on who wins out of de'puniet, stoner, ped bot, hayden, if any of them can knock lorenzo off the podium( or at least off the top step) im happy.
would prefer randy to do it though. be great to see him take a win over the factory guys.

also, anyone else notice randys bike? it now says revvit where playboy was? wats the go with that?
LCR have different sponsors for different regions. It varies between Givi, Playboy and Revit
 
Bit of a boring race in the end with none of the podium positions able to challenge each other in the final 8-10 laps. The battle between Dovi and de Puniet for 5th was alright. I'd love to see a non-factory bike take a win and I reckon Spies is the man to do it.
How'd everyone go in the tipping comp?

I frequently wonder how satellite Spies' bike is?
As toby & julian said during the race, there's nothing in the rules stopping yamaha (and spies is a yamaha employee, not tech3) from giving spies the same kit as rossi & co.
 
^^ I reckon out of all the manufacturers, Yamaha may enjoy the closest parity between factory and non-factory teams. As for whether Spies gets "special treatment" or not, I doubt it really matters, in the manufacturers championship only the top finishing motorcycle for that manufacturer scores their points and (until now anyway) one could be fairly certain Rossi or Lorenzo could always be counted on to finish as top Yamaha.

As you mentioned Mr Orange, sure there's nothing in the rules preventing Yamaha from giving the Tech3 guys the same level of equipment as the Fiat guys. Cost is probably the deciding factor, plus as good as Spies is and as much as I rate his skills, I don't see him as being quite ready to run with Lorenzo and Rossi juuuuust yet... give him at least til... the Phillip Island round? lol!
