monster effort from Capi ... made a good start and took the win as i said yesterday!

1. Capirossi
2. Rossi
3. Melandri
4. Gibernau
5. Hayden

Fantastic race by Capirossi. Another total dominatin by Capirex and as so a rather boring race.
Hayden continue to disapoint, and after a bad start on 9th he earned himself only two positions as he passed RdP on the first lap and later Elias. The rest of the positions was due to runoff and crashes. Most noteworthy is Nakano's who ramed Gibernau's rear at one of the last turns and ended in the gravel. But the luck hasn't totally left him as he continue to take point based on others misstakes and Rossi were not able to win this one. The lead has shrunk to 12 points but he will secure his CS if he come 2. to Rossi in the two last races. Rossi walks away with victory if he win both and Nicky end up no better than 2. and 3.
In Haydens form today there is little that support 2 second positions but on the other hand Rossi will have to fight very hard to make two victories.
I'd say that with two victories he will win but anything less and he will have to depend on two more disapointing races by Hayden.

I seriously considder looking for a Valencia ticket. Can't relly afford it but a CS fight there wold be absolutly fantastic.

Well, what can I say? All I saw was changing times on a dull table from live timing.

Have to see the delayed telecast this evening.

Anyway, good results for Rossi even though Cappers won. Congrats to him by the way!

5th place . Atleast he salvaged something.

Nicky needs to fix up now

Right on Capirossi!!
Only wish Shinya didn't crash, o well at guessed top 5 perfectly on motogp.com and nearly top ten.
Bad luck for Stoner as he was on fire! for a bit.
250s were also good but nothing on last weeks race but being honest i found the 125s the best today.GP would have been better with a Malaysian time race rather then Brno domination.But Loris won so im happy.

Bring on the next to races...pelase.

Capirossi won !!! Yesss!!!
An all italian podium... after an all italian front row!!

Allmost a Brno copy of the race... with the exeception that Melandri followed Loris until he went wide in lap 10 allowing Loris to run away with the race.

So: Hayden has now a lead of only 12 points... and my guess is that he's going to lose the championship because Rossi is on a mission. Is going to go all the way to the Valencia.....

Motegi
Hayden 5th
Rossi 2nd
Melandri 3rd
Capirossi1st
Pedrosa 7th

Loris did a huge favour to Hayden by winning this race becouse with another 5 points for Rossi the gap would have been only of 7 points and now is 12.

Bring on Estoril!!!!

Still on monday Honda is going to show the 800cc machine, no? Can't wait!!!

Was a great ride by Capirossi, hats off to him cause when he saw Rossi coming he cleared off . Rossi in turn has the title well within reach now & I'm sure I'll be watching him lift it in Valencia

i always thought it would come down to the last race which is why i booked tickets,its gonna be a mad weekend mate, all us vale fans need now is for hayden to finish 3rd or lower in the next 2 races and the doctor to win. looking at haydens evo bike and the way vale's riding i think he will lift the championship for sure.

Congrats to Loris for another dominating win! Overally I think it was quite a boring race, very little overtaking going on (apart from Dani going from 15th to 7th which wasn't shown)

It's looking bad for Nicky.

And what a disaster for Kawasaki!!!

If Rossi's M1 didn't break down at Le Mans he would be leading the championship right now and that's without the other DNFs and low scoring rounds where he could have got some/more points, but despite this he's only 12 points behind with two races left and still has the most wins this season; that to me proves he's still the best rider out there and if Hayden wins it will be a gift.

I stand by my words that Rossi will win the championship again this year.

so, I'm realy glad I didn't stood up this morning for this race, not realy that spectacular just watched it at the bbc grandstand, I just love those 2 comentators and the english humor

what a LUCK did nicky had AGAIN with nakano falling out! and what a LUCK did sete had that he didn't fell out AGAIN because another riders' mistake

rossi, ok 2nd, good job. he's closing the gap to nicky. melandri is very consistent again, just like last season. I had a little flashback to last year where vale took out melandri in motegi during this race. for a split second I thought that melandri would take revenche

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (46marijke69 @ Sep 24 2006, 09:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>for a split second I thought that melandri would take revenche

At least Pedrosa has sealed the Rookie of the Year award thanks to his 7th and Casey DNF.

See I told ya Elías was a slow starter, now he is getting good results.

Nicky is to have said "piece of ...." after the race in the box.
but why he said this? i don't know.

Congrats to Caprirex

he did a great job at the job!!!

capirossi!! dominant again!! wft happened to shinya, he was doing so well. haydens ... must be twitching now.. he aint gonna win!

Absolutly a great race for Capi, but I think it was Rossi who cleard off. After Rossi's lap-record lap he fell down to '48 laps all the way up to high 48's while capirossi stayed in the mid 47 that he consistently did all through the race. And I said he wasn't consisten't
He probably had even more comming for anyone who got any closer.

And Stoner
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>and what a LUCK did sete had that he didn't fell out AGAIN because another riders' mistake

Considering Setes constant bad luck and Haydens good, it's close to a miracle that he didn't get taken out by Nakano.

i just wanna see nicky get the championship. him and his team NEED to get a Freakin' plan to hold back the doctor. cuz we all know The Doctror is relentless.




C'MON NICK!!!!!! SEAL THE DEAL!!!AMA CHAMP AND MOTO GP CHAMP.....

















YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
