Lorenzo did awesome and I thought Stoner had cracked but he pulled it out in the last few seconds and so did Rossi who made it to fastest Ducati. Race on!

OT - This is the first time I've watched it on the laptop and with headphones the sound of the bikes is awesome!

I fully expect Spies to be able to get away with the front group. Suddenly went an obscene amount faster when he needed to.

That Ducati's a dog. They'll be back to a trellis frame by the end of the year IMO.

Spies done very nicely, i expect anyone in the top four to be able to take it, but I'd put money on Lorenzo or Spies. I reckon Stoner will do his tyres in. As amazing as he is his style is brutal rather than smooth and I dont think the tyres will like that in ~30c heat..

I think the dukes might have done better because of the heat, maybe it let them heat the front easier?

Either way, agree that it's a dog. Either they'll get that frame to work and it'll be awesome or it'll get dropped like a led weight. I dont think they'll even announce it, i think they'll just show up to a race with a new frame. Maybe the GP11.2

You know what at the beginning of the year my old boss put a bet down on Rossi not winning a race this season and I laughed and took the piss but looking at it now.... Although I don't bet so it doesn't matter Laughing

Fantastic move by Stoner into Andretti, a proper real overtake and he managed (just about) to scrub off that excess speed and muscle it around.

Brilliant. Thumbs Up!

(Although, this thread needs [SPOILERS] in the title!) Laughing!

Race was pretty shite. I wonder why Rossi seemed a little apologetic to Hayden?

Classs win by Stoner that boy showed some guts in the second half of the race.
PS.. Tad concerned on this front tyre issue with grip.. Time to bring Michilin back so the riders can have a choice.
Nearly all the riders have came off with front end loss over the last few races..

Front end folds are going to be more common as the bikes are so closely matched on top speed, engine power, aero and thanks to traction control, acceleration too. That means all the time must be made up between braking and corner apex hence all the front end folds.
