Surely this is Lorenzo's race to lose? His times during qualifying were undeniably impressive - 19 laps in the 1:21s versus Stoners 4 and Pedrosa about 6. His most likely challenger wil be Pedrosa I think whose MO is pulling something out of nothing on race day. Spies is going to fight so hard for a home podium but Simoncelli may well be keen to spoil his party, especially if he can do it on the last corner...

Ninja, you were right.....It was Lorenzo's to lose and he rode brilliantly throughout the race but no better than Pedrosa who was giving him a run for his money until Stoner who, after a mediocre start, whistled past and took off after Lorenzo. Heart in the mouth stuff that pass by Stoner on Lorenzo for the lead then it was game-over with a winning margin of 5.634 secs.
Lorenzo had trouble getting off his bike and was limping after the race. Must have had a Stone(r) in his boot.
Great rides by Spies, Rossi (almost got Dovi) and Hayden and Bautista on the Suzuki was looking good for a while.

Stoner's finest GP win, without doubt.

Two great MotoGP races in a row.

Shame about Cal like. Anyone in Moto2 likely to be a decent prospect from the UK in MotoGP?

[chunder27]

Redding, he is far too big for Moto2 or should I say Moto Suter but only if uyou are Marques who the bike was designed for! And the team are decided on running abike with Beemer engines already, so a sure shoe-in.

Smith will syat anotehr year I reckon

Wouldnt say that was Stoners best win, some of his 250 rides were superb, and the wet weather rides on that pile of a Ducati are amazing really. I would recommend watching Phillip Island a few years ago on the Duke, spinning it up everywhere, superb.

Stoner's finest GP win, without doubt.

Two great MotoGP races in a row.

Probably would have been a closer battle if Lorenzo was 100% fit though.

I may have fallen asleep last night and missed the pass for the lead... but what a pass it was!
