Yes, kudos to Nicky, looks like he's in the catbird seat for his first championship if he stays consistent. He's a nice guy and comes up with a good quote now and again, like after his practice crash at Daytona.
But MAN was I ever pulling for the Tornado to finally get *his* win! I'd seen the headlines, so I knew he hadn't been hurt bad, but that was a nasty-looking getoff. I cheered when I saw CE up, on the bike, and getting a push for his eventual 13th.
