And the lead was steady at 3.5-4 seconds when Stoner lost the front... |

true... but stoner was pushing too hard to keep that lead at 3.5-4 seconds... in the last two races... had he not pushed so hard the lead would have dropped... and that early in the race... rossi would have been with him with >15 laps to go. not saying he'd have beaten him... but judging from the way Stoner seems to be hell bent on keeping Rossi as far back as possible... and not racing neck and neck these last few races... he may be lacking the confidence to have a tight battle with Rossi... probably because of Laguna...

Has Randy De Puniet made it through lap 1 without crashing this season? I swear that due has crashed every race and it all seems to be on the first lap.
It was nice to see Lorenzo back up on the podium. Did anyone catch the 250 race? Crashes all over the place.. Khalio runs into the back of his teammate Aoyama and wrecks them both. Lots of bumping and banging out there. Great battle up front until Simoncelli crashed out |

I can't believe De Puniet still has a ride! and even more so... he has more points than Hopper and West!

Glad to see Rossi win but still amazes me the Stoner can get that far ahead.
Good to see Lorenzo complete a race without highsiding too. |
