I honestly didn't think Lorenzo would catch Stoner, but sure enough, last few laps were fantastic. Hayden did well aswell considering he crashed out. Dissapointed in Rossi not being able to put up more of a performance for his home crowd, but oh well, I still love him anyway. I am no longer a fan of Pedrosa.

Give him credit, he's been riding pretty dam well over the past couple of GPs! [/i]
I agree,especially as I do not believe the Yamaha to be a match for the Honda at the moment.Bearing that in mind it's extremely impressive that they have managed to win the last 2 GP's.Sachsenring is up next which is a tight and twisty track which should the Yamaha very well,I definitely wouldn't rule them out there.
I did read the Brembo report earlier.Surprised to see Rossi & Hayden so far up given the handling problems they have had on that bike and where the hell was Simoncelli?,would have expected him to be in the top 3.Stoner and Abraham had a spat during testing yesterday.Apparently it was fueled by Stoner getting wound up because Abraham was trying to follow him.To the best of my knowledge it's not against the rules but Stoner has made no secret that he doesn't like it.Some sites are reporting that it was an aggressive face off between the pair of them but I would imagine that it was probably more like handbags at dawn.

Yeah Estoril 2006 was the first thing I thought of when I saw that clip,what a hypocrite.Pedrosa needs to grow the hell up.
Moto 2 race was epic,best of the season IMO.There are some really good guys in that championship at the moment.I think quite a few of them will make it to MotoGP within the next few years.It has been announced that Andrea Iannone is to test the Pramac Ducati to ''get him used to the series'',so looks like both him and Bradl will be in premier class next season.Not sure what's going on with Scott Redding though?,he's having a shocker of a season so far.
Agree BSB was really good,Hopper's move on Shakey was a little on the brutal side but it was fun to watch! Just Imagine if that had been Simoncelli on Lorenzo,Stoner or Pedrosa.he'd have been banned for 3 races or something stupid.
Alex Lowes is standing in for Jonny Rea at Brno this weekend,looking forward to seeing how he gets on with that.

Pedrosa shows how a professional sportsman should not really act.
Pedrosa really winds me up - he seems to have forgotten estoril in 2006 when his (stupid) actions took out Nicky Hayden (who was also fighting for the world championship), but maybe this a little different, this time it's pedrosa fighting for the championship.
Crutchlow and Edwards have certainly done a lot better on their return from the same injury than Pedrosa has too.
Nice to see Dovi up the front again, he's certainly making a case for himself to stay in the factory team, though I don't think there's any chance no matter how well he does.
Thought BSB was good too, can't imagine shakey was too happy with john hopkins in race two though!

Yeah Spies might have been a little bit lucky but I don't know if you watched any of the qualifying or free practice but he was very fast and to me he looked the most consistent of the front runners at Assen.I would say he definitely upstaged Lorenzo in practice which hasn't happened so far this year.Hard to compare their races though as they had very different Sunday afternoons! Think the Yamaha's may struggle a little bit at Mugello though as on paper it should be a Honda track but Rossi has a very impressive record there (with the obvious exception of last year when he broke his leg!) so he may spring a surprise.? Be great if Mr.Simoncelli can finally keep it shiny side up for the duration of his home GP as he REALLY needs to bag a result.Pedrosa is confirmed to return this weekend which is good news as Aoyama didn't exactly set Assen alight on his bike did he?

Did one of those bet £10 to get a free £50 bet things yesterday,put my £10 on Spies at 10-1,result!
Nice, some extra beer money!
Think Simoncelli is now officially off Lorenzo's Christmas card list!
If Lorenzo wasn't able to pick his bike up and carry on with the race, I think there may have been blood......!
Amazing come back though, I'm not sure Spies would've won if he hadn't come off!

Gutsy run by Crutchlow while it looks like the new Ducati is heading in the right direction.Mugello next weekend which is always a good one.
