To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if more follow for next season. I can honestly see the GP's going to a single-tyre comp next year.

Michelin wouldn't stand a chance with getting that gig.
But i think Bridgestone have said they wont be able to get tyres for each team or something along those lines

I think you're right about Michelin - they've blown any chance of getting any more deals for a good while yet.

As for Bridgestone, if the chance came up I'm sure that they'd find the wherewithal to make it work. Dunlop and Pirrelli manage to supply even more bikes on much smaller budgets.

Farcical scenes at Indy yesterday.

Race red-flagged after 20 laps (from 28). Under normal rules, that would have pushed the race passed the point where the result is declared "as stands".

As they pull into the garage, Dorna suggest a 6-8 lap sprint race to finish, despite banners, advertising hoardings and hospitality tents all collapsing around the track and in the paddock.

Rossi and Stoner tell the Dorna organisers how stupid their idea is and, eventually, the result is declared as stands.

250cc race was called off as well.

Call me cynical, but if yesterday hadn't been the 'first race in a new and very lucrative market', Rossi would have been on the podium within five minutes of parking up in the garage.

Well done to Nicky Hayden as well, a good result on his 'home' track and in front of the Honda Racing boss. He'll do well at Ducati next year.

so casey still has a chance

In the same way that I've still got a chance should I decide to turn up in Japan on my push bike.

The most Casey can get now is 100 points. In the same time, Rossi would have to score less than 14 to give Stoner the title.
