Good race overall, with the top 4 battling all way through.. it would have been 6 if Roberts hadn't have crashed and taken off Tamada.
 
i missed the last lap ... i figured marco came second and vale won ...

.... yeah chris! 7th place!

to bad stoner wasn't in the race! heard he was pretty angry at the docters not letting him ride, which is understandable
<


fantastic race, I was jumping up and down the whole time. rossi looked good again, I only don't know what to think about the mazeratti shirt, but hey, if I was italian, I would probably have done the same thing
<
he is such an entertainer, making excuses to his bike for having doubt her
<


melandri looked good, for a moment I thought I might have made a stupid mistake for my own team, changing him for rossi. but just like the old days, we could count on rossi
<


nicky looked like he had some troubles and couldn't keep up te pase. I was SO irritated by his riding style, he was going wide ALL the time!! and dani was always looking on the inside, trying to pass everybody...

going to watch the 125cc right now!

I love this season
<
 
Ooops, I got Hayden and Pedrosa wrong way round, lol.

Rossi was amazing, btw.. and Hopkins was quite far down...
 
Rossi was superb. Towards the alst lap it was soo nerve wrecking between Melandri and him..I was basically hanging by the edge of my seat. he really showed people why he is the best in the business imagine.. in Donnington from 12th to 2nd and now from 11th to 1st..Even though they were having problems in the pratice and qualifying..he proved those who wrote him off wrong and his bike, the way he hugged her after the checkered flag, he truly does owe it to her for doubting her. Truly a remarkable sportsman and a great artist in his field.

Absolutly fantastic race by Rossi. On one of the tightest tracks in the season he go from 10th to 1st. There is absolutly nobody esle on the grid who can do that now. And again he beats Melandri on the line after a great battle.

I was impressed by Hayden who managed to stay in front of Pedrosa the last two laps but if I remember correctly that is not unusual of Pedrosa, to be a little careful about going into battles for a third, especialy since it was his team mate and the CS leader in front of him. Any way, good fighting spirit from NH.
 
I thought it was great that Rossi put on an Italian football shirt but I thought he could have selected someone better than Materazzi. Should have wore a Cannavaro shirt but oh well. That's my only complaint. That and Nicky didn't win and KRJR dumped it. Those thigns aside, fantastic race.
 
Makoto and KRJ was super but Kenny Robert's wrong caused a trouble
<


I think Kenny Roberts is in good condition and he'll do better on next GP's.

And Valentino Rossi showed his quality. Valentino Rossi didnt win against Melandri. Experiecenses won against Melandri
<
 
Quick post - that is one of the best motogp races I've seen - superb edge of the seat racing!
<
 
Frankly, it was slightly stupid for him to put on a Materazzi shirt. I know I wouldn't like to be associated with an arrogant racist ........ <----- censored version of what I think of Materazzi.

That said, great race by Rossi, great display as usual by Repsol Honda. I was very, very impressed with Tamada. He overtook Rossi at one point, you could not have wiped the smile off my face
<
A real shame KRJR crashed and took Tamada with him, but to his credit, Kenny ran straight to check if Tamada was ok, and afterwards when Eurosport talked to him, he apologised to Tamada, took all the blame on himself and didn't make excuses. He earned my respect for that.
 
its not as if he could blame anyone else, very similer to rossi melandri last term, the race wellllllll this is why i watch moto gp, 10th to 1st.. thats wot its all about,, now for the bike in quali it aint gunna get any better me thinks, 1 race he might surprise us with a front or 2nd row but theres still lots of 3rd and 4th rows to cum which aint gunna do him any favours,
in gp at the moment theres only 1 person who can win from the back, rossi apart and thats pedrosa but rossi does it time after time after time..
im truly very happy for the win but baffled to why it wont quali?

According to the comentators Rossi said something like "as it was he was (h)appy with his 11th position on the grid, he almost lost it several times with q-tires on so that was a good result." Tells you a lot about how bad it is!
 
Marco Materazzin and Valentino are actually friends. And they both take no prisoners. So think it was appropriate. I thought it was a great laugh.
 
great race.. really enjoyed it!! thought vale was fantastic and loved the battle between him, marco, nicky and dani.
 
Great race, well done Vale.

Poor old Loris, I think he's gradually getting there.

Sete was anonymous in that race though...
 
^ Sete did okay first race back, 8th! The Stones struggled a bit IMO The Mole did well by beating, Hopper though.

Tamada I expected he would do well as the track is similar to Motegi in some parts, Hope he is alright, cos it looked like he hurt his left leg after KRJ bike ploughed into him.

Overall Superb race!!!!! And the gap is closing........
