If Bolt can win like this against Powell when Powell is actually trying, then nobody has a chance at beating Bolt, IF Bolt runs his own race as he did in Rome.
If he can be made to grip, I think that he tightens up too much. He passed Powell this time, but will he be able to do it again when Powell is in better shape, and will he be able to do it to Blake if Blake finds himself ahead?
I could see someone getting the better of Bolt later in the season if Bolt grips too much.
If not, he will be invincible, like '08 and '09

You are forgetting that "with all else being equal" Usain Bolt has the best ability (2nd to none)out of all his competitors to shave enough time off his season best between now and early August that is unreachable by all.
Yohan Blake must put up a time of 9.77 or better this weekend in order for him to have a chance at beating Usain Bolt in August.
Bolt is heading back to Jamaica after this and whether he is clean or not his preparation will be precise and on point. We will not see this muscular specimen that we saw all season. The Usain Bolt that will show up to London 2012 will most likely look like the U. Bolt of 2008, a leaner more flexible and agile athlete.
