I knew Chris was on equal footing with with Corser but I didnt expect him to perform so well, given the power deficit of the Pertonas.

Typical ungrateful comments from Foggy though.........

Foggy Petronas Racing team owner Carl Fogarty was delighted with Walker's performance as he recorded the team's first-ever podium finish in race one.

"I never dreamed that we would be celebrating a podium position here," he said.

"Maybe it will make a few people sit up and take notice and we will soon know exactly what this bike is capable of. "

- sod the bike.....it was CW alone that out it there in my opinion and sadly until the new engine comes along even a fan like me cant see the Petronas on the podium for a while

So we finally see an FP1 on the podium!
Whatever next eh - one on the road ?

if all season it was the same conditions........yeah maybe. What happened in the second race?

I think foggy was very pleased with walker. When he got off the bike he ran and hugged him, jumped over the pit wall to congratulate him.

It's a team game and he used the word "we" quite alot. Don't forget there's lots of other people working for that result that need to be included in the "we".

I was amazed at walkers performance and was cheering him more than toseland but this was walkers first weekend and FPR have been working for this for years.

I think Carl was justified in using the "we" in that statement. Well done FPR and and more more please mr. walker

Yeah...............good on yer Stalker.

I must admit I was cheering him on too especially in the second race.

I'm pleased for Foggy. Petronas have plowed a lot of money into their team and all podium finishes vindicate their outlay.

I wasn't sure if Foggy was more pleased for the place or the feeling that his budget probably got secured for another year with such a great performance first time out this year.

Still..........what'll happen when Regis decides to stay on his bike or not break down.
