I would be sooo happy to see Tamada on the podium, just to see the Michelin and Bridgestone boys scratching their heads, going "wow..... where did that come from?!".

totally agree , i didnt care who was going to win today i just wanted to see some racing.
hats off to michelin for keeping to the grind to find a good mix.
i hope now they will stop going on about tyre rules cos its not the rules it was just michelin was not upto the job.
i hope racing is this way for the rest of the season

Good Race! 2nd best race of the season for me. Great to Rossi at the top end again racing for another win and its also good to see michelin getting their act together.
A brilliant performance from Pedrosa! When all things go well for him and the bike and tires are fine and are not screwing him over, he shines well and continues to improve. I was really shocked to see how much he has improved on his braking this season. He had Rossi braking too hard and missing his apex which is always a sign that your doing well.
Poor Casey! He was the top Bridgestone by quite a mile and he worked really hard for his poduim spot. Maybe if his stones had been better, he'd of probably got an improved result. And I agree with him about leaving things the way they are aswell. If Honda and Yamaha catch up ( It looks like they have HP wise ) then next season should have more races like this.

Great race especially from the top 3. Michelin seemed to have the goods today. Interesting end with Stoner catching up - wonder what was going on with his tyres. Anyway, hope this shuts people up about the tyre business. Michelin obviously weren't up to scratch and are now trying to fix their poor form. Still, we probably won't know how their really going till the end of the year.

damn funny you now point at stoners tyres as the problem. i smell double standards

Rossi rode a really great race, his usual stalk and destroy on the final laps worked a treat. Always appreciate this guy at work. He's thinking all the time, just brilliant.
Pedrosa actually held his own and ran an impressive pace, he managed to pass hard on the brakes. Good stuff.
Another impressive ride from Stoner who had clutch problems from lap 5, making the the bike continually run wide. Got it together and stayed in the hunt. Best stone's rider by a mile.
Hayden looked pissed after the race, me thinks Pedrosa running at the front all race wasn't what he wanted to see. Looks as though he burnt his tyres up by 2/3 race distance.

Stoner said he was having clutch problems and took time to adjust to this in the race - hence why he started catching them again towards the end of the race. I didn't say he had tyre problems, I said I was wondering what happened with them. Anyway he was so far ahead of any other bridgestone runner that I don't see your point.

so it's the clutch now

I suppose Casey's ride had nothing to do with Estoril being a Michelin track .
He kept trying to the end have a look at what he did to Hayden blitzed him.
Will Motegi be a Bridgestone track ?
If so things will be back to pre Estoril
