you can search too, right??

All of a sudden the pit to rider communication seems like a good idea.

Done (without the 's .......cant use ' in names) - you login name remains the same as what it normally is.

yeah I'm reading my reaction on that now too, it's a bit different with how I'm reacting now on pedro. but the whole situation is different now too, talma didn't followed team orders, pedro didn't had team orders

how many times has it been said that team orders spoil races. in this instance there was no team orders but that doesnt excuse what happened. will this change HRC's policy now??

Anyway! Great racing today...best race of the year in my opinion! Its all going down to the last race, if hayden ends up 1st and Rossi 3rd, Nicky will win the championship....so its not over at all!!!!

Go Rossi!

So if hayden wins, Dani can still make up for his mistake by getting there second ???

HAHAHAH, Destiny Roles it's cards, and i wonderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!


And thats a BIGGGGGG IFFFFFFFF

ben, man you're making a long post! I'm waiting

^ haha, me too!

I think what maginfi's Dani's error over the other crashes are:

1. World Championship at Stake
2. They are Team Mates

If it was Stoner say - it wouldnt appear so bad, team orders or no team orders.........there is an expectancy for a rear gunner to do his job - and it was Dani's job to back Hayden up today, not ruin his World Championship.

Talking of Stoner - christ, he screw's up during qual........then takes poor Sete out - I know its racing, but Stoner does appear to earn Richo's Crashy title...........really bad news for Sete though.

As far the race, what else could we ask for!! That has to go down as one of the best races I've ever witnessed............simply stunning action!

I think someone gave Edwards and Elias some speed or something, coz they have had pretty .... form during the season.........maybe the pressures of not having a contract for 07 helped matters? Edwards did really good for Rossi, got in Elias' and Roberts faces - and kept them back........but hell fire, Elias man..........Teo, your boy is coming to form huh! He was superb, I've never seen him slide that bike so much, soo much confidence in his equipment........fantastic for us and indeed for himself! Congrats!

Rossi - was superb, he didnt need to battle with Elias - but hell, this is rossi we are talking about - if he can smell a win he sure is hell got fight for the win! Those last laps were simply superb!!!

Roberts - thought he'd won on the penultimate lap because his mis counted his laps & didnt see his board!! Gutted eh!.........he rode a great race and it was nice to see him leading, if only briefly - great for him!

Dani Dani Dani..............schoolboy error I'm afraid, he was way to far back to make that move - he HAS to provide support for Nicky at Valencia to make up for this mistake, he needs to get in the way of Rossi - not make him crash - but mess with Rossi to redeem himself............what was he thinking!?

I need to see this again!

hate to rub it in guys but im soooo glad im going to be at valencia. hope the people who got stitched by moto-events get there ticket sorted.

Oh, congrats for Ilmor making history - the first 800cc to score a world championship point! When was the last time a new bike scored a WCP in its first outing?.............answers on a postcard!

yeah well done mccoy. guess that achievement is kinda overshadowed by what went on today!

I know that Team Roberts only scored one point in the whole of last season. Ilmor well done, one point first outing and on a 20% lesser bike!!!
