what did you think?

First few laps were exciting,Pedrosa crashing out of the lead,followed by Rossi shortly after.
Lorenzo was riding great all weekend  but Rossi was struggling to get the front end set up how he wanted it.He was making constant adjustments yesterday,even had them changing the level in the forks during practice.Looked like the front locked and got away from him when he was trying to catch Lorenzo. :-/

Yep, I saw that. Made the race a bit of an anti-climax, much as like Spa this afternoon, with Button and Hamilton being shunted out early on, though Fisichella did well.

Dont know if anyone watched the 125 race ? It was a cracker,young Bradley Smith from Oxford came 2nd,he very nearly won it.It was real edge of the seat stuff.
Call me cynical,but I am A bit suspicious about force India suddenly becoming the fastest car on  the track.They cant even afford a proper motorhome their budget is so small. :-/

yes, shame, if they had stayed on it would have been a right ding dong. Would have been Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Rossi by the look of things. Lorenzo had the better set up over Rossi clearly, he got board following in the end.

Just shows how difficult it was to judge grip levels with so many surface changes from new to old. Rossi's crash very strange. Bike seemed to leap out from under him, even he was perplexed.

Pedrosa in the wet, yesterday was it?, never seen anyone so aggressive with a bike in such poor conditions. Awsome.

Forest got 3rd. Weird.

Over all, bit dull. Toseland needs to get his finger out.

Twas a great shame Chris,the stage was set for a real ding-dong battle.
Rossi,s off was a bit strange,looked like a very sudden lock up,that even he had no chance of saving. :-/
Completely agree about Pedrosa yesterday,dont like the miserable little git tbh but he was awesome yesterday.I think he needs to be able to do it consistently over a season and stay on the black bit before he wins a championship though.
Toseland - out of his depth imo,just shows that GP is on another level to WSB, although my impression of him was always that he only won when he had a machine advantage,and iirc Bayliss and Edwards had both gone to GP,s  :-/

Did you notice how long Pedrosa held the bike on his knee to try to get the front tyre to bite just before he went off. 8-)
