Round 9 Sachsenring 07/17/11 **SPOILERS**

[L8 Braker]

One of the best and most exciting tracks, so let's talk some smack...2 weeks ago at Mugello, we got to see some great racing...Lorenzo chased down Stoner to win, then Dovizioso passed Casey, too!!...Spies passed Simoncelli in the last corner to grab a 4th...

--Tight points race, but not so tight racing most of this year
--Stoner and Lorenzo appear to be headed for a last race shootout for the championship
--Dovizioso is riding at an alien's pace, and if Stoner or Lorenzo slip, he could easily sneak in for a crown
--Pedrosa should be more in the front this race as he continues to heal
--Spies is a threat, too
--Simoncelli showed some restraint last race, and everyone is OK
--Rossi is still struggling and without Burgess, who is still in Austrailia with his wife who has breast cancer

And stat of the day.......
--Hayden is 5th in points with 77, which is exactly where he was at last year at this time with almost the exact same number of points

What'd I miss?
