Hope he stays away, he'll just post crap about how dirty Rossi was.

that was sick... accident was caught on the live feed

They both did their best. Rossi was seriously pushing all he got there too.

Vermeulen was impressive as well as Dovi.

I think that's the first sensible thing that's come out of your mouth.

I agree - they were both on the ragged edge and sometimes there is going to be some incidents.
Build a bridge and get over it Casey. If he has a problem with the passing, then he should have spoken to Vale in private. I must admit I was concerned they were both going to crash out though. I bet Pedrosa was hoping they would.

What the .... was it with the coverage today? There was only one race - the race for the lead!!! The coverage was pathetic - was there any point watching Hayden race with Dovi for fourth when everything was happening up the front? Ever heard of split screens or picture in picture? ....... ....... directing the coverage!!
 
Just ......' amazing! Never been a Rossi fan - till now. I'm won over. I've admired Stoner for being the upstart and all . . . but really, the whining crybaby thing, is hard to take. I mean ...., it's racing, not canasta. I really hope the kid toughens up. If he keeps trading paint with Rossi, he'll have to. BTW - Pinky doesn't seem to be around at all the last few days. He took a hint, maybe?

Well, it's one more than you!!
 
I don't know if i want to call that schooled,Stoner is ofcourse pissed with himself,maybe not so much at Rossi.Stoner made the mistake himself.
The almighty Rossi makes misstakes too,and really tight passes.
I think they did a great race both of them.
Congrats to Vermulen too.
 
Lorenzo's crash being discussed. They're replaying in slow mo and the second his head hits the ashphalt his neck was at a SCARY angle to the rest of his body. I think sadly this is going to push Lorenzo backwards a fair bit.

I was watching on both screens. Big difference in coverage between broadcast version and online version. That ..... doing commentary alongside Schwantz makes me puke. What a .......

Its unfortunate, the kid was really fast before he knew the effects of falling off.

hats off to both rossi and stoner because without these two riders we wouldnt have seen a race like that.
 
Fantastic race and it was so good to see the fighting it out.

As for stoners comments all I want to say is that it's too bad he feels that way. Hopefully he will change his mind when the worst disapointment is over, or at least someone should advice him how handle a situation as that. But it's allowed to be disapointed and they say things in that situation. With a good advisor he could still come clean from this when the mist of disapointment clear.

How did Rossi manage to stay on the corkscrew, that was dirt bike stuff
