Qualifying over......Rossi gets lucky.....again:P

Did it with only a few seconds to go as well!!!

Saw the race, no bad with some interesting stuff.

Stoner had problems with his teeth chattering it seems

Erm, brakes.

Enjoyed the race.......quality result yet again.

Valentine who?

The bandit well and truely put in his place again....enjoying this season so far.

Just watched & read the post race stuff........shame Rossi had a face like a smacked ar5e and whined so much.

Quality ride from Stoner following such a bad start.

That was a great race!!!

So much for me thinking it was going to be Rossi v's Stoner Season again!!:eek:

Thats gona give Lorenzo a HUGE amount of confidence, bring on the next race!!!

Heard Stoner whining about a brake 'judder' after the race.....

Got to give it to Lorenzo though, beat Rossi fair and square on equal machinery:thumbup:

And Melandri...boy done good

Got to admit, I didn't expect Pedrosa nor Lorenzo to feature at the sharp end.

No doubt there will be an unknown rodent along soon to tell us that Lorenzo's bike was faster, had loads of electrical gadgets and better tyres.

You wont hear that from me;)

Lorenzo is def one to watch. Never expected Pedrobot to be anywhere this season but he had a very good race today, hopefuly he can keep it up for the rest of the Season to make it more interesting:thumbup:

Good job you said that in joust :P

Enjoyed the race, thought Lorenzo rode well & desevered the win, The Doctor came on strong towards the end as usual.

Looking like an interesting season already:thumbup:

Did any of you watch the WSBK and/or the Supersport stuff from Assen? Great racing, especially the SS race.

If you missed it, at least watch the 600SS, excellent, close racing and unable to pick a winner until the very last corner of the last lap.

Yip, WSB/WSS has been awesome so far!!!

Ben Spies was brilliant in the first race but unfortunately fell in the second!!!

He must be pushing the fron VERY hard for him to crash twice in as many race weekends:thumbdwn:

His stats say alot= 80 AMA races with 72 of them on the podium!!!!:eek:

It was also interesting hearing what he had to say about the money situation regarding the 2 Series.......you're getting the same kinda money Top 10 in AMA as you are Top 3 in WSB:eek:

Now you know why Maladin has never ventured into WSB;)

Spies certainly has the ability and I guess has shocked a few of the regulars..........crashing twice would suggest he is having to find more pace at this level though.

Anthony Gobert?

Hope not though, as Spies has more pedigree and seems to have a wise head on young shoulders.

the wsb/ss races were just brilliant , edge of your seat stuff.

definately worth watching now , reallt impressed by crutchlows efforts

Wrong again Lance; I always rated Jorge, and was hoping he'd get his head back together after the high-sides that pretty much cost him last season. I think it's safe to say that's happened now!

Ken, wrong again with what?

Ken, wrong again with what?

I meant #10, but on re-reading it was rather closely targetted on a Chinese 6 Bedford coach!

Cool :P

But I had to Google it

chinese 6 bedford coach - Google Search

Just shows I'm not as old as you, Ken

Watched both MotoGP & WSB last night.

Good to see Lorenzo has got his confidence back & riding up with the best. But where did Pedrosa come from?!!!

And it's good to see Leon Haslam finish 3rd & 2nd in the WSB.
