.... my prediction looked far fetched yesterday, but Dani was sooo close. Anyways congrats to Melandri and Stoner. I didn't expect that kind of performance from these 2 guys.

Nicky was a bit slower than what I thought he could do.

Rossi struggled like a pig, that was fun.

The bridgestones (as predicted) melted after a few dry laps.

At least I got some points in the Fantasy MGP.

Too bad for the Repsol Honda boys, Nicky showed the pace all weekend and Dani showed the pace the entire race. Still interested to find out what happened to Nicky the last three laps.
 
That was a great race, Marco dug in when it mattered. Casey got over-excited coming out of turn 10 on that last lap which gave Marco the jump on him. Hayden ran wide at the end of the fast back section 2 laps before that Ooost, after that it looked like he settled for third. Nicky was great but dissapointing at the same time. Dani just too confident in that first turn, he'd been hot on the front tyre the whole race, still would have liked to have seen both the repsol boys there to the flag but what a great race. Strange times for Rossi, great for the champoinship.
 
wow wot a race, now when people say that was a gud race and it was crap just think of turkey 06 cus thats a race which had everythink, little dani super ride, marco, stoner and nicky, fighting like mad, stupid but mad, teo rossi is struggling or better seay the bike is, its ....... crap bike at moment, but wot did he get ? 4th another rossi super ride ona bike thats bloody crap and it makes my blood boil, how u lot can gloat about rossi when he didnt win is mind boggling cus ur watching a true world beater whos done nothing but win which gets under ur skin..
<
i say again super fantastic race we had 2day and i for one was glad i saw it..
 
wot a fab race !!!! marco fab win and takin both wins last n dis year, Stoner unbelieve fab he is defo a rider to watch. Hayden well done didn't think it was his best performance. Rossi fab as usually. I think rossi 46 winner has a point that the yamaha of rossi's is absoulatly .... it may not of been his best race in the world but 4th was good enough for me it earned him valuable points. He still hasn't lost his touch.

Da 250cc race was brill fast furious racin fab. I felt really sorry for lorenzo that was some stupid move my ayoma jr.

brill master sweep in da 125cc cud it b any closer

I think a lot of the Rossi "mediocrity" we are seeing is due to the 2006 M1. Something awful happened between Catalunya and Jerez and they still haven't got it sorted yet. First it was the front end chatter and Rossi seems to have that figured out but now that they've solved the front end chatter problem they are at a loss for rear end grip. So far this season if it hasn't been one thing, it's been another for Rossi and Camel Yamaha. Superb ride from Rossi to charge to fourth after starting from 11th and making a mistake and dropping to 14th. Nonetheless, it's great for the sport to have other riders atop the tables and mixing it up.
 
what a brilliant race! ... great work by Melandri, shame Stoner ...... up that last couple of corners though. I put $5 on Melandri and won $75 .... YAY!!!!!! ... i also put $5 on Stoner and Hayden, so naturally i was shitting myself when Pedrosa took the lead HAHA
i can't believe i picked Melandri! ... he was the first one i said in 'Happy Easter'
 
ooost of course its the bike, a gp 5 times world champion isnt gunna go backwards for no reason, i think moody and ryder got it spot on it seems like rossi is pushing the bike lap after lap bit by bit and by the end hes seeting his fastest lap with more confidence.. i just hate it when people slag rossi off when with all the probs on the ..... bike hes still overtaking people and getting up the front, just look at colin he had a better start didnt go off track and ended up 16 secs behind rossi..

ever thought the other rider and bikes might be improving as well? haha
 
Cracking race. I was dead impressed with Melandris' maturity at the end there, really kept his head after an intense race which is what it's all about, right?

Stoner really showed his promise too, great stuff. Such a shame that Pedrosa dropped the bike after a belting ride. Hayden certainly showed he can be aggresive, and if he was being honest about the brake problems then that was a credible ride.

Was it just me or did that kind of feel a bit like the changing of the guard? of course I'm not saying Rossi's had it, not do I want him to have had it, but it's great to see the young guns racing like that, and it bodes very well for if Rossi does bow out at the end of the season......
 
Hot race. Dani was so close to finnish on podium a superb race. I was expecting more from Ducati but.. something missed in their set up or their tyres. (Bridgestone sud). Lovely race from the Honda's guys. Melandri and Dani, started from the back and fight to the "death" with Hayden and Stoner.

There's never been a question that Rossi is riding that thing beyond it's limits,.

Think of it this way put Rossi back on an RCV, and any RCV pilot back on an M1 and you would have a boring race with Rossi about 30 sec's up the road
 
wow! what a friggin awesom 3 races.....1st gotta give DeAngelis the save of the century award! i thought he was toast!!! 125s great racin, 250s barn burner, big class unbelievable! like melandri said it was like a 125 race with all the passin. manboy from 16th, melandri from 14th
<
friggin great rides from them ( except dani's last lap gaff ) but still a fantastic ride. stoner..... man this kid is really surprisin the .... outa me! rookie of the year gonna be real close! i really figured marco to be up near the front but did'nt figure him for the win! bravo marco
<
& hayden... well i'm a bit dissapointed but with that said 3rd ain't to bad after all consistency wins championships & man is he ever consistent all he has to do is turn those 2's & 3's into 1's and if memory serves me right was'nt this yamaha rossi's baby the best gp bike, better than the ever so lost hondas
<
lost without rossi's devine insperation?
<
<
<
............ suck it up rossi lubbers!
<
& be glad we have the season everybody has been wait'n for!! what did u think people are gonna go easy on yer boy cause he's strugglin! pleeeeeeease!
<
 
On rossi, i think without that stupid mistake running wide and that .... house start he would have pulled it off. His times were consist and he seem to have more tyre left. 4th were a great finish for a yamaha! Just have a look near end of race and all riders up front were on a honda other than rossi. After Shanghi i think we might see rossi take a few back to back wins which is good but it would be great to see 7 riders all going for the championship.
 
Was it me, or was that race on Sunday one of the best in recent years? I really cant recall when 4 riders were all in contention so close to the end!............simply superb!

Strugglin? i dont think so, first race he was thrown off his bike, in Qatar he won, and he had an average race in Turkey.....and by the way, one more lap and Rosii would've end up in 3 place....so strugglin i dont think so.....

Hey Nicky fans, wait a couple of months and you will probably see him win again in Laguna Seca....the only place where he can win.
