Great race for second, though. Rossi wasn't having any of it. It looked like Pedrosa had a bit more speed too. Now, I doubt it will take Dani long to get a bit more aggression. Good things to come me thinks.

Superbly mature riding by Rossi, stamping his mark all over Dani each time the little puppy was snapping at the heels of the top dog!

Just a shame that Capirex f@rked orf into the distance and we didn't get to see much of his riding, as he was lapping 1/2 a second quicker than anyone else mid-race! Pure class.

...and where was Gibbers? Let's hope he's not riding red next year.

Gibbers was having his shoulder replated. Great race.

I hate being right
But I said from the beginning it was a mistake, If only Ducati Corse was reading my DSC stuff they would not have employed him!
At the end of the day the useless G*t has cost Loris loads of points and maybe his best shot at a championship.
Fantastic ride by Loris though, would like to see Rossi steal it at the last round, don't really like Nicky.

I am so glade that Ducati have won, nice to see Loris doing well. Really would like Rossi to win the champonship, only because that Yam is so cr*p and it would be a big kick in the teeth for Honda and by christ do I hate Honda........
If not Rossi either Mel or dani.

Saw plenty of Capirex from where I was sitting... and also had the rare opportunity to listen to the Desmosedici with no other bikes spoiling the noise... he was really pushing hard, every lap the bike was visibly squirming around while the Hondas and Rossi looked pretty stable (from the distance we were at)
