So good I even bothered to reply to this post.
I can't believe they both didn't come off athough Stoner looked a bit shaky throughout not having it all to himself for a change.
Thats what its all about boys. |

| awesome race was great to see rossi (or anyone!) actually get chance to fight with stoner properly. Stoner looked flustered the whole race to me, whereas rossi seemed smooth and calm (even off road at the corkscrew!), so pleased he won too, deserved it i think, that ducati is ridiculously quick. Shame stoner ruined the whole thing by bitching like a little girl cos rossi didnt move aside and hand him the lead, it is a race after all! Anyway ranty over, awesome race by the best in the world! |

Fantastic race and very well done to Rossi, and what about Vermullen 3rd 25seconds behind Rossi but still a result for Suzuki.  |

Rossi Strikes again, hes goin down the old mind game road too..
He knows that Stoner hates to have a ding dong with anyone he just likes to get away and run his own race so he parked the bike up in front of him and waited for the mistake!!!!!
Rossi is not only an awesome rider he is Fkin smart too, deserved the win and Stoner apologised on the podium too...
I reckon he saw the footage of the Corkscrew incident and realised it wasnt Rossi's fault really! |

Stoner is a K**B. Rossi sandbagged in practice and qualifying, Stoner thought he'd run away but Valentino upper the pace and that rattled Casey. I've got to say it looked like Rossi was out of it but he made some good passes and showed Casey, he wasn't going to be taken down easy.
It's the first time I've seen Casey looking ragged and not so smooth, he was sliding out of turns and bucking and weaving on the brakes. I think he actually had to race for a change, instead of just riding around miles ahead. He was going over the limit and it was a matter of time before he crashed. When he crashed I wasn't that surprized, but the gap they had meant he was still second.
Rossi put some hard passes in early on, but so did Casey. So I think it was all fair. Valentino didn't touch Casey so whats the problem? I just got the media release from Yamaha Racing and Rossi's comment about the Corkscrew move is brillaint.

He also had this to say about the passes
| Valentino Rossi -FIAT Yamaha #46 wrote: | | About the passes, I am sorry that Casey thinks some of them were a bit strong but I really don't agree; I passed only on the brakes, I braked in the same places every time and we never touched. Of course this was an aggressive race, but it was definitely a fair one. |
Casey take it on the chin. This is real racing, you got to be able to lose as well as win! Rossi tried to talk to him in Parc Ferme but Casey mouthed off, Valentino just laughed lol.
Jorge Lorenzo has broken two metatarsal bones in his left foot. That was a bloody massive crash, he went to the moon and back. |

| This goes back to Donington when Stoner was bitching about the reception the fans gave him, couldn't understand why people don't like him. Last night proved why he's unpopular, and if he carries on like that the reception will only get worse next year! |
