For me it was the Donington round, not only was it the last race at the track, but both Rossi and Lorenzo crashed, the grid was completely switched round. Elias lead the race for a while and it ended with a podium of Dovizioso, Edwards and de Puniet. It was a bit like the old days where half the grid were in with a chance of running up front, not just the top 4.

Although the last laps of Catalunya were exciting for the championship.
Apparently its the first time in 43 races that the winner was decided by a last lap pass, which as Rossi would say "For sure that is pretty fucking dull yes" ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

Catalunya for me too.
Although for the riding spectacle, Philip Island is up there. The control Stoner and Rossi had they day was awesome. ____________________ My Flickr |

Catalunya for me too, close call though as I was at the last Donny race and it was cool watching Rossi lap Stoner right in front of me, also that everyone in the lead ended up binning it in the wet. I was at Catalunya last year and it was a Pedrosa-fest (the battle between Rossi and Stoner was good though), I so wish I was there this year to see the Rossi-Lorenzo battle.
My rider of the year was probably Melandri though, riding an unprepared Hayate Kawasaki well and proving the point that he is actually a very good rider and that the Ducati is nigh on impossible to ride. Kudos should go to Stoner for being able to ride it and finishing 4th depsite a bad tyre decision at Donny and missing 3 races. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

It was only a few years ago that Melandri was right in the title race on a non factory honda.
I reckon with him back on a decent bike next year he'll be about the only rider that has any chance of beating the big four.
Still his move to Ducati has got to go down as a pretty awful career move, almost as bad as Hopkins move to kawasaki. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj
