What a let down!! The kentucky cheshire cat wins again and Rossi get's the luck of Gibernau ......Gotta say, in all honesty the chances of Rossi winning the crown this season, MAY have gone in that race The thought of Hayden as world champ irks me My man, Pedrosa did well and Stoner crashing again, deprived us of a great battle between the rookies. Stoner's time will come, just not this season.... Nakano and Kwakerzakee out.... Not a good race, did not enjoy

Me neither...being a bit of a Rossi "fan" & all that. If Rossi didnt win it,i was willing Vermulen on-did he deserve it...then his tyres went. Stoner crashed-again...So then i started cheering Melandri on. . . ANYTHING but a yank,pleeeeeze...then Ped r o . . . . -sorry,nearly fell asleep then-came through & my worst nightmare happened. TWO gloating Repsol Hondas-sadly,one of them ridden by a yank...at his home race...what could be worse...its insufferable,thats what it is... I turned the tv off & went to bed before the last lap had even finished...

The good news is he only ever wins 1 race a year, don't think i would have been able to stomach him winning the title this year without at least 1 victory. God i hope that boring little git Pedrosa doesn't win it, he deserve a good slap or being so miserable and so does his mate Alberto Puig.
I reckon the best rider of the season so far is Melandri, if Rossi isn't going to win the title then i think he should.
Biggest under-achievers so far are Edwards (times up Col, back to WSB you go) and Gibernau (no surprises there !!) . Was going to say DePuniet as well but he achieved f-all in 250 so he was never going to be any good.

Talking about under acheivers . . . lets not forget Ellison. . . just why does he bother? Why cant they give that M1 to someone that can at least get to within a couple of seconds of the pace. . . bloody rubbish. . . He's had ENOUGH time in MotoGP now to stop making excuses & start picking up the pace. . .
