So-we met at Macdonalds-had a brekky and off we went. The first 5 miles I got settled in to where I felt comfy in the group. The pace upped as we got to within 5 kms of the next coffee stop. I did the HRC honda, on the brakes as I entered my fav right hander-thank god for slipper clutches and shot off with the front rising. There was the next 5kms of right/left bends through the country section and I held my own from the K9-HRC and a new guy on a RSV-bit of jostling-after all who loses pays for the Cappacino-but the Rizla with its stonking top end cracked it- went through the trap at 293 just a wheel nut ahead of the other 2 and took the laurals. Well it was more exciting than what I just watched

Talk about let down after the last one. The scrap for 6th(??) was a good one though.
Haven't seen 250s or 125s yet. Last WSB was a good one, hoping there's more of the same to come in both series.

Not exciting racing just Rossi it should of been called the "Valentino show".Lorenzo a future champion for sure and great to see he had some words of congratulation for Rossi getting his 100th GP.
There was a bloke on a red bike who ddn't feel well " again ".

I did wonder what his excuse would be this week, I watched for the after race interview but only Rossi was spoken to.

On Sky Stoner did speak up and was unwell again, said he does not know what it is, he is says he is physically fit but feels like shit.
He looked green during the interview and nearly bafted at the end of it, I think he should get tested for M.E or C.F.S

Quote me as saying I was miss-quoted.

I wonder if it's the same bug that Barry Sheene suffered from.

Anyone else think Aoyama slowed on purpose to f up Bautista?
It certainly looked like it to me, especially his VERY muted celebrations and that as soon as he had crossed the line he looked behind and then put his head in his hands in what looked to me like shame.
I'm not saying he wanted to cause an accident but his line was certainly very different and much slower through the chicane on the last lap than any of the others. He knew Bautista could take him so probably thought he would try a little sneakiness.

I notice Stoner went out of his way to congratulate Rossi on track post race which seems to have been largely ignored.
I think the Bautista incident was one of those incidents rather than anything pre-planned. Aoyama definitely slowed mid-chicane but he was in very hot so slowing would have been the natural thing to do. He's a brave guy if it was intentional cos he could just as easily been sat at the side of the track with Bautista.

What was that going from one side of the track to the other?
Me and the Mrs did notice and even commented on it, but it's something that most racers do at the end of every race so not really supposed to be anything out of the ordinary.

So is finding excuses for not winning but Stoner seems to get singled out for it.
