MOTOGP - Assen (Spoiler)
 

Edwards does it like Domski :eek:

...see that fecking astroturf with the sand on?!?!?!?! :mad:

I'm gutted Edwards crashed. I never shout at the TV but I was screaming at Edwards to win that one.

Bum! :(

Otherwise a great race all round. Some real balls shown by those beaten up riders too.

Wow, what a finish. Rest of the pack seemed left behind, but, that scrap between Haydon and Edwards was stunning.

How good was Edwards in that last 1 1/2 laps .... shame it did not pay off for him.

I never thought I'd find myself cheering for Colin Edwards either, but today I was! Damn the result.

Also a real shame for Casey Stoner to miss out on a podium - but at least he didn't crash today!

Hofmann certainly didn't impress on the Ducati. Will he have the rider next week?

Same here, Edwards was a hero on that last lap and I was out of my seat shouting when he came off as well! He's got balls to get back on and finish the race for 2 points as well!

Did you see Edwards smash his screen in anger.

"I'm gutted Edwards crashed. I never shout at the TV but I was screaming at Edwards to win that one."

Snap, was realy rooting for him to win that one as well, total bummer.


Chris.:burn:

Chass will be along to point out that he actually kicked it - right boss? :lol:

Shame Colin came off,respect to Nicky for not rubbing Colins nose in it by over exuberant celebrations.Hats off to for Colin for putting up a good show,quality racing.It`s getting harder and harder now for "golden boy Rossi" to win the championship.

Well done Nicky:D

Yep, I think Nicky looked across at Edwards as if to say "What are you doing there, you're supposed to have won this".

He almost looked like he was gunna stop.

I'm sure he'd rather have beaten Colin fair and square.

Oh well. Nice to see new people up front (even though I like Rossi winning)

That was biblical riding by Collin, biblical I tell Yul. :D then he fell off and I was gutted. He deserves a win in GP and I hope it comes for him soon. :(
