That's the first time I've watched any bike race...

Are they all like that?? It was flipping terrifying.. they're nuts.. hats off to Rossi and Stoner.. I had my heart in my throat most of the race.. The adrenaline just from watching it was more than enough for me Laughing

Not really, no. They're usually boring as fuck.

I watched the end on youtube which is very out-of-character for me. And it was above average. I guess it's got better since that dude with the sea of pubes for a haircut got a bit of competition. Thumbs Up

Rossi finally got a bike that is able to challenge Stoner and Ducati. He bitch slapped him big time and Stoner is well and truly rattled.

It was the best Race I have seen since Sheene/Roberts at Silverstone in 79.

and the first part of it was so much better than the end too..

you should go on iplayer and just watch the first 10mins of the race.. by the end of it Stoner had gone into the gravel and dropped 16secs behind Rossi which made it a little less exciting..

Yep, Stoner dropped it but as they were so far ahead of the rest, he still finished second.

Quite simply an outstanding race and up to that point it wasn't clear who was going to win.

Outstanding race. Think Stoner was peeved because on 2 seperate occasions rossi's over takes had forced him to take evasive action (the corkscrew being one of them) whilst his own overtakes were of a cleaner nature. Think they both saw red in the end.
Thing is if Stoner had did what Rossi did on the corkscrew and nearly taken both of them out alot of people on here would be label him dangerous and say he was putting both riders at risk because he couldnt beat him any other way, as its Rossi no one seems that bothered.

Im not bashing Rossi, just makes me laugh that everytime some one challenges him alot of people line up to attack them for daring to put him to the test.
