Did anyone else catch Turdosa thanking Rossi for a last minute tow in QP? Looks like Rossi wants a buffer between him and Stoned/Loony.

Ya think? No way would he "want" the turd next to him on the line. Have you seen his starts? He's a 75lb rocket off the line.

Normally I would agree, but I don't think there's any chance Pedrosa's hip is healed enough to allow him to do more than just barely get on the podium. Even a podium is probably a stretch for him, as Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner and Edwards are likelier candidates for the top 3.

Rossi is probably working some kind of voodoo sh!t on Pedro to get him to do an Estoril Special on Lorenzo.
