I'm not the biggest fan of Stoner, but what a race that man did today! He really deserves the title, I'm sure he'll get it

we've heard it all...
So far we have had...
Cant come back from mid pack
Cant win in the wet
Cant win on twisty track
Cant handle pressure from Valentino
When will people finally give Ducati and Casey the credit they deserve
Rossi trye was mess at end Michelin again not doing a Good Job and Bridgetone superb.
Never discount the Doctor though hope it all goes down to the wire, Stoner, Ducati and Bridgestone looking un touchable at the moment.
Well, how come a similarly shod Edwards came second and Rossi's tyre looked OK from what I could see. How I laughed when Chris V went by him to knock him off the podium.
Top stuff by Casey and Chris, really tricky race.. Ant was doing soo well until he just got bitten by the 800s torque (said it came around on him unexpectedly, causing him to run wide, he almost saved it!) and to come back and finish 11th, gutsy.. Good post race interview too, he THANKED the team :up: .. Oh and Ant allready has more points than OJ :p
haven't watched the race (early to bed for a 14hr day at work today), but it sounds like an absolute ball tearer again.....can't wait to get home and watch it!!!!Quote:

Casey - magic. Edwards - haven't changed my previous thoughts about him but congrats to him for a good ride. Pasini - yeah!!!! Dovizioso - held it together for a well deserved win. And to the nearly 85,000 fans who stood there in the wet and cold for hours, take a bow everyone, I admire you all. Hope you're all tucked up in bed nice and warm now. :up:
Casey Crasher ain't crashin' any more - it's ridiculous. He's gone from hot headed rookie on a privateer Honda to an 800cc Ducati and 8 races into 2007 he's won the same number of races that Rossi did in the entirity of last year. He sure as hell deserves the title, but at this rate we won't see the title fight to the last round!
My first MotoGP and not really a classic but still a very enjoyable weekend. Casey was superb really, looked like a true champion (unlike that useless excuse for a decent rider that's currently rolling round with the No. 1 on his bike). West was impressive and showed some real resolve to come back to 11th. Shame that Loris dropped it as he was looking like getting back into it but that's the price you pay in difficult conditions. Hts also off to Edwards (showed Vale up) and the guys on the Suzuki's. Nice to see that team doing well and hopefully the Kawazaki's will hit some form soon so that we can have a really varied top 6 unlike the Yamaha, Honda fest of recent years.
125's and 250's were interesting too, especially the 250s with a huge number of top runners going down. Three guys were showing their class before Lorenzo dropped it then the other 2 showed how much better than the rest of the field they are.
Still I reckon the best race of the weekend was the MotoGP rookies. I lost count of the number of riders falling off and overtaking moves but it was ceratinly entertaining.
