Wow, Rossi & Stoner 7 tenths ahead.

[bdfinally]

This is going to be great, Stoner & Lorenzo going balls out, Rossi using all his racecraft to finish ahead or just behind Lorenzo and Dani beat all to hell again, after his tumble in qualifing.

make the beast with two backs yeah!!!

I'm not sure who has had worse luck this season -- Hayden or Spies.  Man, that's brutal.

[Jester]

Watching Stoner and Rossi slide those bikes was magical.  They were running a ridiculous pace up front.  That was really fun to watch those guys ride, even though there wasn't any fighting for the victory.

Lorenzo didn't need to push like that.  Just another young rider mistake he can learn from.  He had the pace to claw back fourth or maybe third even had he lost a few spots at the start.  He was never going to run with Stoner/Rossi anyway.

[Desmostro]

make the beast with two backs yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

That was beautiful in your face racing ! 

And Casey's mystery illness is...
1st place mother fookers!!!!

Damn +11 watching vale and Casey slide it around corners was awe inspiring.

"they're going to need to add an extra reservoir to Casey's tank just for his massive kahoonas"

Great win from Stoner considering its his second race back.

I feel sorry for Nicky being taken out like that. All that work all weekend only to be taken out BEFORE the first corner. At least the rain held off.

Did anyone see Melandri take out the seagull on Sat practice? One less flying rat on the island and in spectaular fashion.

What did we think of the white bike?
