I did notice that but thought it was just my ears. The other commentator never seemed to hear it .

Your right, the battle for 4th place was good tv and they cut away to a fairly sedate Rossi overtaking Hayden.

They always do that, it was only more noticeable at that race because Toseland was involved in the 4th place battle.

Normally they only really focus on Rossi, it doesn't matter if his leading the race by 10secs or got problems and circulating round in last place with a great battle going on elsewhere, the camera's will still be fixed on him.

Lol, I noticed that comment too, it made me laugh. Very Happy

Enjoyed that race a lot, I was pleased Toseland was a bit more involved, and loved his battle with Rossi. He seemed to be riding a lot better, it was a shame he ended up in 6th and couldn't beat his best this season. Ah well, hopefully it's a sign that there's better things to come possibly in the next races and next season.

Well done Rossi for the championship, well done Stoner for the last race win...and yay, come on Toseland!! Cool

+1, iv been waiting for toseland to ride like that all year, i think if he ran a harder rear the out come would have been different towards the end of the race.
its joke to how hayden is only now deciding to ride how he should to,

that track is mental too, definitely one of my fav's Mr. Green

Blame the Aussie's for who we were watching and when. The BBC has no control over the race pictures.

It's the circuit's on site director. The BBC gets exactly the same pictures as British Eurosport.

Or maybe he wouldn't have been able to run such a pace through the race and would have finished lower down.

They show it on BBC interactive, ("The Red Button") or channel 301 on freeview before the main coverage starts.

I keep forgetting to look and watch it...but will try and start reminding myself so I can get into the 125's and 250's a bit more.
