The 'former best' I speak of is of course the best he could manage last year - fast, but always crashing. Haven't really read the reports yet (I missed the race... poo), but apparently he at least didn't hurt himself.
Deficit to Rossi now: 50 points.
Points he would have had in the last two races without crashing: 50. (+ at least five that he would have snatched off Rossi)
It's sort of sad he can't convert his speed and talent into results - I would still expect the championship to go to Rossi, but it would be much tighter. Rossi is still just as fast, and ultimately better at winning. But he shouldn't be as far ahead as he is.
As it is, the hopes of our nearest challenger are slipping away faster than his bike is sliding down the track.
