What's the problem with Stoner. Seems like he is going to slip in every race this reason untill he breaks the jinx. Damn. That was so disappointing. Nothing left to see anymore. I am turning the TV off

but we all new that !
 
what celebration we gonna get for beating Ago's Record ?
edit
my bad lol yep roger equaling it
 
I have to say after 2 identical races in a row from stoner it is hard to escape the conclusion that he has been intimidated by the events at laguna into pushing too hard early for a big lead. We will have to see next year if he doesn't have career threatening avascular necrosis of the scaphoid and does not get behind early in the championship if he can exhibit more composure; it does begin to look as though he is too highly strung to take strong pressure from rossi although widespread vilification even if he does well seems to me to give rossi aid which he doesn't need in applying such pressure.

Well done Vale. Guess it was fated. Casey - what's going wrong? Front end loses is reminding me of 2006 all over again. Good work Elias Chuppa Chup and CV.
Westy beating Hopper - how does kawasaki suck so much? Team Green is a joke.

Eitherway it does mean that pneumatic valved engine will get NO support for the rest of the season since Dani will be relying on the spring valve development between himself and Nakano....so if I were Nicky I would just go home and wait for 2009,

yeah im with you dani's attitude really sux the ones who get results are the ones that put the time in, maybe dani should have done some testing instead of wanting it to fall into place by itself... good result for lorenzo he will be a future champion no doubt
 
I think Casey needs to re-evaluate his racing strategy. This isn't 2007 Mr. Stoner, you can't just pull 3 seconds on the first lap and then win by 15 seconds. Yamaha, Honda have more or less caught up in the speed department and your going to have to start racing them man to man if you want to beat them. It was a complete newb error on casey's behalf. He shouldn't have tried to pull away like that, especially considering what happened last week. Has he forgotten his performances at Catalunya? C'mon Stoner your better than that.

Oh and well done Mr.Rossi! IMO this will be your sweetest ever world championship and you sure earned it.
