Dani and JT are well off the pace.

Suppose JT is just getting used to the track.

Just watched Qualifying, which Stoner topped, with Rossi about half a second behind.

Must say that throughout all the practice & qualifying sessions, Stoner looked in a class of his own.................still, as we all know, the race isn't always as pre-race times suggest.

They had Neil Hodgson doing some commentry and he was full of praise for Stoner, questioning why the british fans don't take to him and won't recognise just how good he is?

Lance

MotoGp site says Rossi was asked how to stop Stoner - 'you would have to shoot him'.

Your strategy for winning the race ? - 'Start 30 seconds before him'

JT best ever qualifying!

I agree with Lance that Stoner looks like he's in a class of his own.

It gonna be hard to stop him winning races now.

Ooooo Tom Cruise is at the circuit!! !

The first few laps have been heart stopping, can,t say any more as I can,t watch & type :rofl:

By the way, GOOOOO ROSSI.:D:D

How can they ride like that.:eek:

Lance, even you must admit, this is stunning. :eek:

THIS IS THE BEST EVER RACE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH Stoner off!!!

Superb opening laps, but doing my nerves no good at all!!!

Stoner, what a kn0b, that was looking to be an epic battle for the last few laps

GUTTED!!!

Has Lorenzo landed yet?

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH Stoner off!!!

Oh what a shame, looked to me as if he had been over-riding it since The Doctor passed him.

Has Lorenzo landed yet?

Think He's just landed in NewYork!

Big nod to Rossi, shame for Stoner.

Would loved to have seen that one go to the wire.......still, we'll never know??

Those watching it on eurosport, quote for the race from the commentry team, was comparing Rossi with Madonna & Kylie.

Seriously though.....top race and good ride from Rossi

Now THAT was a race. Please show it to Bernie Ecclestone.

Oh what a suprise, Stoner was whinging in the post race interview.:(

All things considered, a good days racing.

Watched MotoGP & WSBK qualifying this morning and then WSBK and BSB most of the day, finished off with MotoGP tonight.

Suppose I better speak to the Mrs now.

And so the MotoGP pendulum swings back the other way. 3 Weeks off now until we resume the banter and smugness.

Cheers Gents
