What's with those guys? Can't they check other web sites to see what brand of motorcycle Ben Spies is riding at Indy? Motorcycle brands regularly missing from their results list are readily available elsewhere. I now refer to Superbikeplanet, last.

They know he's on a Suzuki... What I hate is the they give the top 10 or so, rather than the whole list of results.

I have a sense it's always a lazy cut and paste job.

of course they check other websites were do you think they copy and paste their stories from?

Actually if they were cutting and pasting they'd have the whole set of results. I've been in the press room with them before and Dean will sometimes call out the finishing order and times to Evan Williams and he transcribes them. I imagine they were just really busy this weekend with all of the various going ons and didn't do the whole thing. Or maybe they were just lazy, who knows.

Either way, just go to Moto Gp . com or crash.net if they don't post the full results.

If you want hard and fast facts, complete with stats and the like, go to motogp.com. If you want great editorial combined with quick wit and great industry knowledge, check out the Soup. For me, I'll take the latter every time. Dean and Evan rule.

I agree. The humor is most welcome, and the images are great.
