RACE OF THE CENTURY!!



Stoner backing it into the corkscrew !!!





Adriana was white when Stoner overtook Lorenzo!



The crowd seemed to appreciate "the pass" of the century.



What a ride .... I've never seen better.



Thats why Stoner owns Laguna



Thats why Stoner won "the corkscrew incident" in 08!



Thats why Stoner is THE REAL GOAT!!!











The anti-jinx works Michael

Take a valium and have a good lie down Baz

Seriously though, what an awesome race that was!



Who said motogp is boring these days.





Anyone know what happened between Rossi and Hayden? There was a brief shot after the race from the Ducati pits that showed them talking, then Rossi kind of hugging Hayden, then Hayden turning away looking a bit annoyed. Might be nothing though.

Jeez your easily pleased.

Germany was a much better race.

Were you watching the same as the rest of us?

Nice race by Casey glad his team found him what he needed to turn in the morning, not sure what happened to Jlo I would of liked to see him put up a fight. Ben needs to start stepping it up against these guys, bad starts and weak early laps wont work in GP.

Speedtv how about giving us the entire post race presser.

 

[BarryMachine]

..... about Stoner?

How right I am

Lorenzo was doing amazingly closing off the entry to the corkscrew and then when Stoner made indications turn 3 was to be it .... Lorenzo closed that gate ........... then Stoner finds an unbelievable spot to do it!!!



It really was like watching a great game of chess!!





Race of the Century from the best rider motogp has ever seen ...... ever.



Not the most winning to date but definitely the best rider ever!!



The skill in the corkscrew is amazing.



I'm stunned by what I saw today

that post started off well then descended into your usual mince... Won the corksrew incident? He finished 2nd in 2008 you cretin!

cracking race by Stoner, he's matured so much as a racer and clearly feels he doesn't need to rag it from the get-go. Lorenzo did well considering he was 10ft in the air yesterday and Pedrosa, well, i'm kinda gutted for him really. If he hadnt been taken out by Simo it could and probably would have been a 3 way fight for the title.

What a race definitely didn't see that coming, had money on lorenzo. Was Stoner sandbagging?

Maybe he was trying to cheer Hayden up. He has to be incredibly frustrated after riding the red turd for so long now and not being able to put on a good performance for the home crowd.

you wouldn't be .............

Bitching about Stoner?

would you

On a side note: it's very refreshing to see the level of respect and kindness the three really fast guys display for each other these days. Both on track and after the flag.

Master ride for Stoner!!!



Danm, who expected that? I sure didn't. Specially at the race start & first few laps.



Stoner must feel confident again.



I totally helped with the anti-jinx, as soon as i start predicting ....-storms Stoner pulls an ACE out and blows the field away. If i had predicted A Stoner win.....

Penguin dude said it right!!!!

Apparently Hayden said Indy's my time.

I didn't interpret it that way...but let's see more information first.

Not at all bazza. He's just earnt him & me good points

Yep, JLo's gold rain

on Stoner right before end of transmission was all so sweet.



Can anyone imagine someone doing that to Rossi?



J/k j/k

Its great to see that. I expected the best season ever for competition but I did expect a bit of rider anger ....... certainly a pleasant change.

Yeah, I tried to write it down as objectively as possible. Don't want to be starting rumours, but curious to learn more.

have we seen the same race? didnt you got all those 'riders introduction' moments during the race, when they showed karel abraham, loris capirossi etc. + all the recaps of the start from the left angle, then from centre, then from the right angle? and the recap of the guys going down the corkscrew, over and over and over.... bad 'regie' a couple of times too; like turning to dovi while the guys up front were closing in on eachother. a race with so many recaps is a race where not much happens imo



have to admit it wasnt a bad race, the pass stoner did on lorenzo was amazing! but honest to god I almost fell asleep. you'd think it might be the time here but I came rushing home from work at 10.55pm so I was fully awake... how many guys crossed the finish line btw...



but why the flying .... did they give that bostrom dude the wildcard? at leastgive the wildcard to an american rider who is willing to ride the race and give it all, and doesnt have an 'I have an other race to do so Ive to be carefull' attitude during the race... sure he must be a good rider but if you come in with that attitude what do you expect to get from the race??? he even said it himself on the bbc that he didnt want to risk it all (which is understandable!!) so why did they gave him the wildcard

 

[Mr Squiggle]

Simoncelli is a dipshit.....on a factory Honda he is now 10th in the standings on 60 points behind Edwards & Aoyama and only 4 points clear of Barbera.

Well first and foremost: het is dan ook kleine meisjes bedtijd.



You are right of course, the eternal replays of the start, shots of faces in the pits and views from the midfield are terrible. But that happens every single race. I commented on the exact same thing last race. Did you think that was a boring one too? I think some people at Dorna figured that these tricks are a good way to keep the tv crowd interested, and they have missed the fact that we actually have some really good racing going on lately.



Now off to bed with you!
