Hi Kal, hadn't re-read my original post, but of course you are correct.  
The fibres which pass through uninterrupted by thalamic relays are 
indeed DEscending into the pyramidal tracts from the motor cortex.  I 
know you know this - just making sure it was unambiguous for the 
non-anatomists who may be reading.

There sure are a lot of fibres there.
