Lorenzo passed both Repsol Honda star Pedrosa and his illustrious Fiat Yamaha team-mate Rossi to take the lead for the final time on lap 13, but Pedrosa couldn't get around Rossi's Bridgestone-shod M1 for a further two laps - by which time Jorge was just out of reach.
So he thinks he would have won had he not had to pass rossi?
or does he think everyone shud move out of his way when he's trying to come through?
He wouldnt have won, lorenzo's pace was brilliant in the last 1/4 of the race, he was banging in low to mid 1:37's pedrosa was always a tenth or two behind him.
Just spitting his dummy out and acting like the spoilt brat he is it seems.
Shame, cos he's riding well, but he's not gonna win fans by acting like a kid.
Look at his comments, he's clearly saying if rossi not been his way he would have won the race.
Just cause he cant do the fighting at the front he doesnt like it, he wants every race to be like jerez, he just needs to learn it isnt like that all the time.
As hard as it is for him, he should be happy with 2nd.
Yes, lorenzo is a little bit arrogant, but pedrosa is just as bad if not worse.
JIMMY, all Pedrosa is doing is to admit that it took HIM to long to get past Rossi, and let Lollipop boy get to much ahead, and not that he could have beaten lollipop boy but it would have been closer. P.S. (not a pedro fan)

Well, its a constant debate on here, we all have different views on things.
Thats mine, im not a fan of pedrosa, but im a fan of his talent and ability to ride a bike.
We all know he doesnt like fighting for a win, he wants his race wins to be like his personality, dull and lifeless.
But yes, he's a great rider, just not much of a showman for the sport, all he needs to do is smile a bit more and when he finishes a race in the top 3, sound pleased to have got there.
Dani pedrosa is simply te best.!!!!!!!! I can't say that Dani pedrosa is not arrogant! But Jorge lorenzo is a big ego and dani isn't!
I'm sure that dani was faster in the race and that rossi blocked his way! IT'S GOOD FOR LORENZO TO FEEL HOW IT IS TO WIN!

PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT RIDERS YOU DON'T KNOW! How can you say that dani pedrosa has no personality and emotional! There is no rider in the motogp paddock who's more emotional than he!
I saw him cry in when he was 125cc Worldchampion And when he was wordchampion in his first 250cc year! And i saw him giving a great show to all the fans when he won his second 250cc title!
A second place means nothing to him! And some wins too!
And he's got a life outside motogp which is a little bit more interseting!
He has more talent in one finger than a rider can dream

'Er, Gerrard, how exactly is Pedrosa the best, he's not won the MOTOGP title at all so how is he the best ? Rossi - was the best and will win races and maybe the title this year. Hayden - was best in 2006. Stoner - was best last year. Lorenzo - that kid is the real deal. Cannot see how Dani is the best out of that lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've not seen Pedrosa win a top class race that he had to fight for - all those that he's won he has got away at the front fairly early.
-zx9Steve - so your not a fan of Pedrosa either or lillipop boy? Why doesn't that suprise me? Is there any riders on the grid that you do like?

Pedrosa is just saying what happened. Lorenzo opened a gap and when Pedrosa passed Rossi, he couldn't catch him up.
Lorenzo was faster than Pedrosa, but not enough to get away from him. Without that gap, Pedrosa could have stayed right behind Lorenzo and then at least try to pass him in the last lap.
Jimmy, Pedrosa hugged his team to celebrate the result at the end of the race... I'd say he was very happy and on my TV he was smiling all the time. I don't know what you want from him.
Because he has more talent dan everyone! he is not worlchampion but it will not take much time! And he is riding with the honda and that is not the best bike! we have to wait for the new engine from honda!
And why dani will fihgt in a race if he can go away! If you fight with you rivals it shows that you are not the best! (as good as...) And if you go away you are better than them!

I dont see Pedrosa as being arrogant - he seems to be a very nice guy - just quiet. Could you imagine Pedrosa fingering and kicking at Checa/Capirossi ( like Moaner ) or like Lorenzo to Hopkins? Thats never gonna happen, same as Rossi wouldnt ever do it either to anybody. Don't think Pedrosa said anything against Rossi there...
Jimmy I like you but Dani dull n lifeless were gonna fall out me old china, dani is a perfectionist 2nd place isnt good enough, no rider rides for anything other than 1st place anything less ... Have to say i'm not keen on Lorenzo saw him slagging Dani to Suzi Perry IMO it was not necessary, hope Dani does not retaliate as its a lose lose situation ask VR. As for showmanship is that on the job description, for me the bike is the star not the pr*ck on top of it showmanship VR did it first, Lorenzo is just a copy cat and will look ridiculous, if he persists people will say this about him. IMO showmanship = boswellox the bike is the star
Nobody will ever know which is the "best" rider. The best team-rider-bike-tyre combination yes. This is motorsports not the Olympic Games. For sure motivation, talent, cleverness, all play their part on the rider's game and they can affect the performance of the rest of the whole combination. So I would suggest not being strictly person-centric when discussing races.
