I don't know who I felt most sorry for

Dani Pedrosa or his own team mate, Nicky Hayden :!:a most unbelievable event, also a most unbelievable result for Toni Elias

Better not say too much seeing as some of you haven't seen the race yet

From what I saw, I reckon Hayden took the pint sized mope face round the back of a motor home and kicked the living f*ck out of him...

Considering the amount of times he's binned it, and now this, it calls into question whether he has the neccessary mental maturity to be racing in the top factory team. There's no doubt he's a talented rider, but 250's are very different to GP.

I reckon Honda would be much better off running Nicky Hayden and Marco Melandri in the top team with Dani moved to one of the satellite teams to learn more. He will be a very good rider one day.

Very glad to see Vale and Colin sticking together - they work really well and I've always had a lot of respect for Edwards.

Only downside is this and the supposed penalty avoided with Stoner and a yellow flag are going to be the reason that Vale retains the title and not that he has overcome mountainous problems and truly shown why he's the best rider in the world.

Well said Kitch

I was also pleased to see Colin Edwards up there at the pointy end where he should be

I thought it strange that he now has, all of a sudden, a bike capable of running at the front end, now that he could make a real big difference for Rossi to win the championship by keeping others behind

That yellow flag issue

It's a shame that it turned out that way, especially now the way things (points wise) are

After watching that actual incident on TV, to me it did look highly un-likely Rossi could have seen the flag due to the position of it in conjunction with that part of the track

but on the other hand one will always say that a rule is a rule and if it applies to one then it should be for all, which you can't really argue with

I have a suggestion that all tracks are fitted with lights at both sides of them just on the outside of the track, similar to the cats eyes we have on our roads, but different in the sense that they can be changed to the colour of which ever flag would have normally been shown

that way you couldn't say you didn't see them

I hope Gary McCoy get to stay at Ilmore next year, the sight of him sliding them old red bull yamahas was awsome

Errr, cast your mind back to the beginning of the season

The only reason its so close in the first place is that Rossi has been taken out a couple of times,
had his bike expire a couple of times,
broken his wrist & had to start from the back of the grid,
and not forgetting the tyre debacle in China

The fact that he's not only still in the fight but should actually gonna win it (unless Honda get the Pedrossi seeking missile targeting properly!) speaks volumes about the different level he's on.

If Hayden wins the championship, it'll be the least deserved one since Criville in 1999.
He had a 51 point lead after America, and since then he's ridden like a clown (maybe he could blame the big floppy shoes and the curly green wig slipping in front of his eyes for his pitiful performance)

Christ even Capisossi could beat him and he's missed a race completely and ridden a further 3 so weak he couldn't even get on/off the bike

Hayden deserves to win it cus he's a genuine straight-up hard working sort of guy.

Rossi deserves to win it cus he's the best and most talented rider, plus he makes it seem like hes havin fun.

I know I ride a Honda and all that, and they're excellent machines, but it was brilliant to see Ducati stuff it to them in their own back yard.
