Eish eish eish is all i can say ...

big up to edwards , he consistently outshines his replacement at the factory team.

edwards is the star of the year thus far i reckon...

I enjoyed the race. Rossi can fail under pressure and did. Showed he's also human. The ride of the day goes to Edwards.

But did you watch the SBK yesterday? WOW! When last did you see battles like that all down the field? They were riding like the 125's.

The best race in ages, Rossi and Stoner rode the screws off those bikes.

Damn that has to be one of the all time best races in MotoGP. The boys went at it tooth and nail....

Amazing how they can ride...

For the first time, Stoner showed that he's abit of a woes when he moaned about the way that Rossi was overtaking him. Maybe he should be reminded that he's fighting for a world championship. None the less, awesome riding by both of them.
I think that Rossi will start playing games with him now

Brilliant race but Stoner had a long lip afterwards can't take the Rossi pressure. In the padock interview Stoner was complaining about the overtaking when Rossi was asked to comment he said "about what!".

Kawasefi · « **Reply #112 on:** July 21, 2008, 10:15:46 am »

If Stoner doesn't want to be overtaken, then he should ride a little faster

There has been less action at the front in MotoGP than in F1 this year. That was until this race.

I thought the tv coverage was brilliant. They gave a more wide angle shot most of the time (as against the right up close shots in all the other races) so you could appreciate the speed & closeness of those two bikes through the corners. To me it seemed as if the bikes were much faster than at any other race.

Rossi was so right to switch to Bridgestone & Pedrosa was correct to not even try racing in his condition when he was going to be on Michelin.

I expect Stoner to be stronger & ready for Rossi after this lesson in the big league. I don't expect him to wilt like Gibernau & Biaggi.

news just in , rossi apparently has singed for another 2 years with yamaha

What a brilliant race, Rossi had Casey Moaner nailed at every corner.. Dam that Yamaha was nimble.. That Ducati did look a hand full in the corners.. Rossi and Casey raced a briliant race, even Rossi went off but managed to hold it. It was brilliant racing

Pity it was spoilt at the end by Casey Moaner

+10

That Yamaha is nimble, but that Duke is fast in a straight line

Go Vale Go

A brilliant race from both front runners.
So sad Rossi had to resort to violence to stay in front

Stoner is probably the man, but watch out for Pedrosa and Lorenzo!

I think Rossi made a big mistake changine from Michelin to Bridgestone as the team mate is on Michelins and ran better and smoother ride than Rossi.

still think that?
