who came off? i heard that the race had to be restarted?

Rossi 1st
Gibernau 2nd
Hayden 3rd

John Hopkins had a massive high side in the first few laps and the race was red flagged. When it restarted Gibernau worked his way to the front then over cooked it into the first corner on the last lap and Rossi nipped through to win.

Looked like Gibernau bottled in on the last lap as Rossi was charging then.

It beggars belief when MotoGP is now rivaling F1 as the most watched motorsport in the world, that the BBC did something that stupid, especially after the flak ITV got after cutting to a commercial at the San Marino GP two laps from the end earlier in the year.

I was forced to watch the BBC coverage today (I usually watch it on Eurosport, the commentary is better) but I couldn't believe it when they just stopped it for the Rugby match. The start of which had 30minutes build up!!! Surely they could have cut into that to show the last five laps of the GP....?? Confused

Is eurosport available on them freeview boxes because they might be a decent investment for me in university. I can plug the thing into the back of my pc's TV tuner card. Or if somebody's paid TV license for the communal area, plug the thing into there.

Gibernau seemed completely demoralised after what happened in the final lap. Hopper's accident was pretty bad, but glad to see that he was smiling in the end. Shame about the other two kwaka's that took each other out.

Eurosport is on freeview, but only if you have the top up Tv thing too, thats £8 a month.

About as much luck as I had, used Sky+ to record it on Eurosport this morning but it overran and the recording cut out 2 laps from the end Brick Wall

, saw it was on again at 7.30pm so put Sky+ on again, I went to watch it later but fuck me found a womens football match overran by 45 minutes before MotoGP and ended up with just the first half dozen laps Crying or Very sad

Finally got to see the end on the Eurosport Motorsport News programme. Mr. Green

I think that was the first time I have watched an entire moto GP race. I usually just watch a couple of laps. It was a good race. That high-side was pretty spectacular! Shocked

I think I shall have to adopt a "favourite" rider. Thinking

Gibernau will never be World Champion, he doesn't have the brain for it.
