I though Toeslands result was alet down TBH. He failed capitalise on his advantage.

It was his best result but he faded badly towards the end he was doing much better.
I can't help but feel sorry for Pedrosa and feel he's on his way out of the Repsol squad.

it does look like its over for him, I think it could come down to Stoner an Lorenzo, has Rossi had his day? It was good to see melandri stick it round him in the first part of the race

Toesland must be living in fear of being fired. He has come off worse in his spat with Edwards - I was very sorry to see the Texas windbag go past him (again).
Mr T's early pit stop stated to look inspired but proved to be about 3 laps too early with hindsight.
I really want him to do well, and some of his lap times looked amazing until Rossi and co got on the same set of rubber.

I have to agree I'd have like to have seen toseland do much better but last years promise has come to nothing as for I also though he's made a big mistake swapping crew chiefs(although it's easy to sit here and say that) as Guy Coulon has a massive amount of experience in GPs.
Edwards, he has been a windbag in the past but his riding is doing the talking now.
Still can't stand Casey.  and I'm glad(sort of) to see Rossi make some mistakes and getting a bloody nose form his teamamte just hope the little Spaniard doen't launch himself again lets not forget he had a great start to his year last year too.
I'm over the moon with Melandris performance though. go marco.

Something that would never happen next year, Ducati dream team of Rossi an Stoner, an Mr Rossi going to the Champions Graveyard of 11th an 12th in a race, Nothing against Rossi btw but i would love to be proven wrong an see Those two Duking (sic) it out, could he handle it?

I wonder if Kawasaki will come back next year as a factory team with Melandri,he seems to be enjoying his racing again now he is off the red Duconer.

There is a huge Kawasaki fan base that must be thinking the same - and the marketing bods at Kawasaki must be in touch with that as well. One of the refreshing aspects of this years racing has been the spread of makers in the top six.
I have got to say I think Lorenzo really is the Rossi replacement in waiting.
Because I am both lazy and don't have Sky at home so watched moto gp only on iplayer and missed that Bradley Smith won again and is top of the championship. So I want to big him up for that. There is a delightful possibility that Bradders will come of age just in time for GP2.

Well done Mr Smith.
I'm also impressed with Melandri this season. It does show that there is something odd with the Duke. Only 2 riders have ever really tamed it and one of them was only for one race (Stoner and Bayliss). Although Capirossi wasn't exactly a slouch.
Was it just me or does anyone else think that it would be a lot more exciting without the electronic aids? Watching Stoner out of the corners he just pins the throttle and lets the TC take over. It would be interesting to see how he'd go without them (not always slower, look at Simon Andrews in BSB!)

Rossi's got to be packing the kind of tackle normally found swinging behind the legs of a Grand National winner!!
Absolutely brilliant.

Stoner missed a great chance to show he wasnt a knob,rather then give Rossi and Lorenzo the respect they deserve in the post race interview he said he could of kept with them if he had felt better, here we go with that PR problem again.

I have to err on the side of Chappers-Stoner is such a well? such a . Seems he wanted to keep this "bug" a secret-he lost so he comes out with "it"-if hed won
hes a spoilt brat and Im being polite
