Valentino didnt struggle. Over the weekend he let the movistar mob think things werent going to plan, giving them some smugness. Hes been doing it since the 125 days and its bloody worked! Kicking Sete into touch in the dying minutes, and wiping the smerks of setes bunch!

And you put Marco Melandri as second place? He was third

All i can say is that i'll be rooting for Sete 3rd year running. Shakey's deffo my top underdog. Did you see the 125's crashing due to the wind -f00k me that looked horrific. Chaz seems like hes got an uphill struggle to contend with - 12 factory bikes Shocked. Still Top Privateer doesn't seem out of reach. Looks like its gonna be oodles of fun tomorrow.

If he keeps riding the way he was at the end of last season I reckon top privateer is more than doable. Bugsy, you still hoping this'll be Biaggi's year?

Poor old Xaus is way down isn't he. Was a class rider at SBK level but seems to struggle at motogp. Shame to see big names near the back of the grid.

He was always a "podium or straw bales" rider. He'd go fast for a few laps and then bin it because he was pushing too hard, or end up on the podium - nothing in between! In 77 races he had 9 wins.
