Yeah, yeah. I know that, as one journalist said in "Faster" they are all heroes in MotoGP, just to be at that level and to do something so well that finishing 0.5 seconds slower than someone else in a 40 minute race (!) can make the difference between being on top or an also-ran, BUT, I have a serious problem with Nicky being on top of the charts without winning. He is consistent, in the sense that he sits there and waits for others to screw up (and sometimes, as on Sunday, that happens), BUT, is he exciting? After he got passed and passed again, it looked like he sort of quit. Don't you want your favorite racer to go at it with abandon? look at Melandri fighting Stoner on the last lap (BTW, is Stoner 15 yet? He looks about 14). The best (Schwantz, Rainey, Rossi etc.) are exciting to watch: Nicky is kind of boring.
