WWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! What an awesome race this weekend! did anybody else watch it? that has to be one of the most thrilling races in recent history, not quite as brutal as gibernau and rossi on their last lap road rash battles, but man, the racing was awesome. to have four guys that close and at such a massive level of riding ability, what an exhibition! Rossi is a god of rider, from 10th on the grid, with a broken wrist, a more troubled bike, i doubt their is anybody in history who could challenge rossi for the greatest of all time. we'll see, i'm sure he'll capture at least one more championship before the sun sets on his bright carreer. and dani pedrossa is the next one in line in my opinion, he and stoner have had unbelievable rookie years, at just 20 years old, amazing young talent!

Just wanted to share some excitement, i was on the edge of my seat for the whole race, and i dont think i drew a breath for the entire last 10 laps!

BRING ON LAGUNA SECA!!!!

Yeah I watched it. It was nice to see that 3 of the top 4 finishers were riding Honda bikes.

I missed it but I heard it was pretty close. I hear the washed up bum is now in second for points. Good thing they didn't end the season after Assen. I believe someone said he sucks but I think there cracked out!

WTF?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!! did you seriously just call VALENTINO ROSSI a washed up bum????? He's had some bad luck this season but VERY little of it is his own fault, mostly just crappy circumstances for him but its very very obvious he's still the dominant rider in the championship. Nicky is winning the championship out of consistency but Rossi is easily the best rider on the grid

anyway it was a great race but I was really hoping hayden would be up front a little more. I am really glad he beat the hobbit/robot, for some reason I just don't like pedrosa lol

KRJR's crash sucked as well as him taking out Tamada, both could have done pretty well

Hopper definitely didn't perform as well as he should have, not sure what was up. He and CV fighting it out is a sad story, hopefully next year Suzuki will have a competitive bike and we'll see where Hopkins and CV really stand

oh and this thread is a spoiler, some people may not have seen the race yet...

I've got mixed opinions about the 800s, they are gonna manage to get nearly the same horsepower out of them but they will be harder to manage (not quite as bad as the 500s but pretty close)
I can't even imagine what the redline on those things are gonna be, its gonna be crazy
it'll definitely be interesting to see what happens, I just hope they can keep a decent size grid, at this point it looks to be shrinking every year

OOPPPPPSSS! Sorry that was me being sarcastic. Someone on the site was writing that he sucks or washed up or something like that. I should have found the quote. Personanlly I think he still is the best in the world. Has been and will be for a few more years to come. I think he 24 or 25 years old. When he retires fron GP he needs to road race. He fast and knows how break his oppents down just lets see how big his ***** are on street courses. LOL!
