was probably thinking of giving some excitement into this boring race, and backed out...he immediately realized he doesn't want to throw away third place

Piss poor end to the season. Feh! The only one who really seems be riding his ass off is Dovi. Snorrr. At least Pederina didn't end up 2nd in the points. Man . . . I really hope the control tire situation makes for closer racing next year. Hey what the .... was with the old man in the white dress smoking a cigar?

 

[somedamnwriter]

yey, finally...it's all done. what a boring race. but at least it makes us now face the 2009 season. and vale on the podium, not bad.

 

[Marijke]

first time I feel like Ive waisted 45 minutes of my life at watching racing

good race of dovi. and the others. but very boring

STONER!!!!!

I kept trying to figure out why Pedrosa looked like a miniature version of Hayden at this round.

Pedrosa was wearing Alpinestars leathers. How long has this been going on?

 

[kieran]

I can't remember ever being so disappointed with a race, especially with an Aussie winning it. Congrats to Stoner...... the rest

 

[pacman]

Just as expected a dull race.

guess no one really bothers when it comes to pedrosa

 

[Keshav]

Is it just me? Or did Rossi look old and tired when he took off his helmet? He look partied out.

may be he hadn't recovered from his exhaustion from sepang...

and, uhm, he's really a bit old actually...but hot nonetheless

Hardly any dry set-up time for rossi, and it is hardly surprising if racing for 3rd with the championship decided doesn't particularly excite him.

He made the switch from Dianese for '07 - so two seasons

1. Casey Stoner - Untouchable, well done!

2. Dani Pedrosa - Wimp....got passed and you gave up!
3. Valentino Rossi - TRUE TRUE Champion passing folks like they were not even there...
4. Andrea Dovizioso - Deserving of the Repsol ride!

5. Nicky Hayden - Well done for Winning Friday practice!

6. Colin Edwards - Maybe you should give your ride to Spies.

7. Shinya Nakano - TJ.
8. Jorge Lorenzo - I can wait until you get your set of Bridgestone.

9. Loris Capirossi - Old dog...no new tricks
10. Alex de Angelis - Better than expected.
11. James Toseland - Disappointed with this performance

12. Sylvain Guintoli - See you in BSB.
13. Chris Vermeulen - WSBK may have been the better option for you....
14. John Hopkins - WASTE of money....can you still afford your teeth?
15. Randy de Puniet - You finished congrats!
16. Marco Melandri - You suddenly woke up on lap 27 and realized you can't really ride the bike!

17. Anthony West - Good luck in WSS...
18. Toni Elias - What the F~cK!

It's all done now

2009

Here are the final numbers of the boring race of Valencia...

 

[Anders]

Not the most exciting race i've seen,at least Duc. beat Honda in the construction championship.
It was kind of frustrating to see Lorenso fly past Capirossi on the straight and Vermulen wasn't much of help so Suzuki lost to tech 3 with one point.
It's actually going to be more exciting to see the laptimes from the test especially on tuesday,and also hear what comments Hayden,Canepa and Kallio have of their new rides.Maybe Dovisioso has something interresting to say too.

 

[BigAl]

fitting race to end what has been a major disappointment of a season for me. 2 races had some action, the rest well...didnt.

lets hope next year is better.

The only thing that changes for Dovi tomorrow is that when they peel off the silver livery on his bike they will find that it is suprisingly painted in Repsol Colors

Is everyone on Bridgestones tomorrow?

The correct comment would be, the last 15 laps of this race were boring.
Because the first part of the race wasn't.
Rossi must have really spoilt most of you, if seeing a racer starting in fourth row and then passing half of the field to reach 3rd position is 'boring'. We take these things for granted from VR46, don't we.
Just imagine if it had been NH69 or DP02 or JL48 doing the same--all would be calling it exciting
