MotoGp: Estoril Round 14

[Rod Richardson]

Stoner back in the saddle......Here's hoping he has fully recovered and can make a race of it.

[The Phantom]

Stoner 4th in FP1 and looking good. Lorenzo fastest.

Edwards 5th.

Business as usual :D

[CaptainRaiden]

Wow, Stoner back on pace straight away. It's like he didn't miss a beat. I'm impressed. Let's see how he does in the race.

Also, I looked at the pictures on MotoGP.com, and is it just me or does it look like he gained some weight?

Thanks Rod - you look like the lone ranger in this thread :D

Very happy with Casey's return so far but the race is a different ball game as he hasnt the race pace I feel. I would be exstatic if he podium but top 5 would be a very good result :D

[The Phantom]

I think the deveopment the M1 has received in Stoner's absence will be telling in the race, but my money is on Stoner for an early fight for the lead and to finish in third.

Lorenzo is due for a brain snap so who knows what could happen?

[NinjaMaster]

Perhaps Casey will do stick to Barra fishing rather than training during the off-season! He really has slotted back instantly well, though to be honest, I pretty much expected it. Hopefully there will be a genuine, race long 4 way battle for the win between the aliens and Jorge beats Vale to tighten the title chase heading towards the seasons end.
And I really want Hiroshi to win the 250 race and extend his title lead so he can move up to MotoGP next year as the reigning 250 champ.

it was a dead heat but gave it to Di Megilo because he had a faster Personal Best Lap than Barbera - The podium was the funniest thing you ever saw :D
And doesnt Simoncelli look like sideshow bob with that hair cut? :laugh:

[The Phantom]

Boring race but a great race all the same - first, Casey is BACK, second, the championship is ON!

[Corny]

Yeah Casey is back indeed :D Never been a fan of his, but I hope he can at least win one race this year!

Lorenzo did what was expected (I mean those annoying flags ;) ).

It was not Rossi's day, I can not remember him losing so much in a race

3 races to go

[ozrevhead]

That went well :D

Casey was brilliant and it was glad to a) see him smiling again and b) not look like he was about die of exshaustion like he did last time he raced!

I am now offically in love with Jorge http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif That was brilliant

[leopard]

If the illness is not clear, Stoner wasted his time from three race absent. He could have chased the race with more points.

No wonder about Jorge, he's been being good. :)

[patnicholls]

It wasn't a vintage race by any means but is very good to see Casey back, looking well and moreover riding very well. Completely vindicated his decision to rest and probably one of the rides of the season, all things considered.
