Re: The Marco Simoncelli MotoGP Thread
Ianonne and Ducati won! Yes yes yes and yes again! And Cructhlow won next time out in Brno, been a good MotoGP season Up until Assen, Spies and Marquez were the only new winners of the decade yet in the last four races we have three more. What is this season? Michelin deserves a thank you note.

If Montoya takes the title today, does that set the record for longest gap between major motorsport championships? [Andretti won the Indycar title in 1969 + 1984 but the F1 championship between them.]

Michelin has made very clear their '18 inch wheels or we're out' stance. Perhaps it's time for F1 to get with the times. At the same time, that might be an excuse for Michelin to put minimal development into a unique F1 tire, and instead let them just port over their LMP1 designs. It really is beyon...
