Well done to Stoner for becoming World Champion!!

Hasn't put a foot wrong this season. The complete package was working for him.

As for the race, well it was a strange one. Wet race with a drying line after half distance.

The Michelin wet tyres were so good on the drying line. Rossi seemed to be on a mission until he changed to his second bike with slick tyres. A problem with the front brake ruled out a the chance of prolonging the inevitable. A wise move by Capirossi to change to slicks early on gave him the win.

Yep, a big well done to Stoner, a well deserved World Championship win.

Good also to see some of the usual non front runners on the podium.

Overall though, not being a Rossi fan, I did find the race a bit nerve-wracking to say the least.
