Spoilers folks!






















Rossi
Lorenzo
Stoner
Dovizioso
Capirossi
Pedrosa

Absolutely brilliant last 3 laps, I thought Lorenzo had it after taking Rossi @ turn 10 and holding on, but FREAKING HELL Rossi takes it in the last turn and holds on!

Whew, I was drained after that - Don't know what the hell was wrong with Stoner, but it looked like he'd just finished an ultra-marathon after a 3-day fast - But he does seem a bit throw-in-the-towel at the moment, if I was Rossi I'd be digging at him right now!

And fine, Lorenzo was disappointed, but bugger me if he's a grumpy little shite and sore loser - fook man, you lost, congratulate the winner, he was better than you. And planting your little flag (Lorenzo-land) after finishing second? I don't get it.
I'm actually starting to prefer Pedrosa to him, in the battle of the annoying spaniards! Might not like him though, but he can freaking ride!

But today, not as well as Rossi - GO ROSSI!!!

Championship - Rossi, Stoner and Lorenzo tied on 106 points - Let's get ready for a crazy season!

A brilliant last three lap's,i reckon that's the hardest Rossi has ever been pushed,hat's off to Lorenzo for not giving in. When the time come's he (lorenzo) could make a worthy succesor to Rossi, i'm glad though that Rossi won

It reminded me of Rossi vs Biaggi in S.A, and of course Rossi vs Sete at Jerez.

3 riders on 106 points now.

BTW Stoner has had a bug or summink this weekend.

Funniest thing today was in the 125 race though.

Just watched it and I was totally blown away! What a stunning ride....some of the best racing I've ever seen.

I bet this is used to prove the single tyre rule was the right choice.

Yes sir! amazing last few laps, had me shouting at the TV like Rossi vs Stoner at Laguna Seca last year!!!

Ill bet Rossi was glad to duff Lorenzo at the Spanish GP as he owed him 1 from gettin his ass whooped at the Italian round!lol

I was starting to quite like Stoner as his attitude looked like it had changed at the start of this season but now it seems hes turning into the stroppy little git weve all seen before! (but SHIT! the boy has some talent!!!!)

This season could go anyway although i think it will come down to Rossi or Stoner, i have a feeling Lorenzo will start fading like last year! (but with his credentials hes definatly a future world champ tho!)
