Pretty good race there.

Hats off to Rossi

Glad to see Crutchlow fight it out to the end for a good result

Pedro sure dropped the ball on this one

Lorenzo is an animal for racing today let alone getting a decent result

I don't think I saw a Ducati the entire race. I almost forgot they existed.

Agree with all the above, especially the last part, but at least the action up front made up for Ducati's failings.

^ What he said.

Hats off to all the Yammyhammer boys! Rossi!! Yeeehaaa!! applause waytogo drink 'Bout time.

Six foot tall "balls of steel" trophy to Jorge for even showing up much less racing and saving some points. Nice pole for Cal and great run from 5th to challenge wonderboy for 2nd!! Gotta love it. Jorge showing up and getting 5th had to take some wind out of McBrittlebone's sails.

And yes... when is MM going to say "make the beast with two backs team rules" and punt 'Bot into the kitty litter? popcorn Wink It's all up to Pedrosa to win it or bin it this year. If he doesn't win the championship how long before Honda/Repsol start to focus all their attention to the wonderboy MM?

Rossi!!!!

Lorenzo  Shocked

Whomever was saying that Raux was crazy when saying that the Turd was holding back MM must be eating a lot of crow today. Pedrosa pushes and tries to keep up at the beginning, but simply gives up towards the end. MM should punt him on the second lap if he wants to fight for first.

Ducati needs to buy a Honda and put Ducati stickers on it.

Rossi, MM and Crutchlow had actual fun in the trophy ceremony. It's been a long time since we've seen that. When Lorenzo and the Turd are up there it looks so forced.

Why would anyone be eating crow? Dani still stands on top of the title chase... Doesn't the person with the most points at the END of the season win the title?

Don't get me wrong, the kid is showing some true genius in his rookie year but at the same time, he has shown that he still lacks a little bit of experience. And I do still enjoy watching him make things interesting. I also have no love for Dwarfism McCanthackitinthebigleagues...but so far this season, he has shown patience and poise when he has needed to.

Grande Vale!!  chug
Honda/Yamaha vs. Ducati.
Honda/Yamaha have more engineers in the racing team, than Ducati has in the whole company.
Honda/Yamaha can afford to make quicker changes to the bike components, because they have in-house manufacturing, instead of relying on third parties schedules.
Honda/Yamaha would have likely canned the whole racing team, if they would have failed to deliver a competitive bike in all these years.
Kicking out Preziosi should be only the start there.

There's poise and there's giving up. The Turd has shown for years that he's batshit fast, if he's leading at the first corner. The first few races he was showing that he had a killer instinct. What happened to him since? This was THE race to put a dagger through Lorenzo's title hopes. Today was the day to go balls out, not finish fourth just ahead of the guy that had shoulder surgery 36 hours before the race.

Round 7 is in the books and with only 11 races to go, apparently all you need to determine the winner of the title is a crystal ball and massive quantities of peyote. :roll

Yes, Rossi has fun and genuinely enjoys it and puts on a great show.  Simply awesome to watch that.

Being Rossi and Dovi fan, I am just sad that Ducati team is just in bad shape.

Impressed by CRT espargro (sp?).

Always look forward to what Cal says to the BBC commentator at the grid.  Always rips on his cloth or hair style or something.  Cracks me up.
