The China Syndrome

Dani Pedrosa hangs off, but still can't get his Honda to the front.	'I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft!'	Off the stand, and way down in the standings.	Ducati had the top-end, and Casey Stoner used it to the fullest extent of the law.
Colin Edwards was up for it, but his Michelins unfortunately let him down.	A first-lap near-miss basically sunk Nick Hayden's chances for a good result where momentum means everything.	'V' for 'Vale' and for 'peace', but not quite for 'Victory'. Not on this day.	Still dirt-trackin' after all these years.
The numbers are dwindling in 250cc two-stroke development.	Keep your hands to yourself. This is serious bidness.	Pedrosa and Marco Melandri play a little Honda cat and mouse.	Towards the end of the race, Rossi nearly had a meltdown, but he came through and finished in 2nd.
