Moto GP is good But not as good as world rally or BTCC

We don't want another 'this is better than that' discussion.

It was an awesome race. Shame stoner robbed us of a great finish, but for an elbow to elbow race, that was one of the best.....for 6 or so laps at least.

are you having a laugh ??!

it's the purest form of motorsport there is, bar none!

when you're old enough to ride a large capacity motorcycle at speed, perhaps you'll appreciate what these riders manage to do with two wheels, 150kg, and 250 bhp. they're genuinely putting their necks on the line - no roll cages, no six point harnesses, and no soft impacts when things go wrong.

Stoner`s head must be shot after this weekend. Pure Rossi magic, the guy is a legend.

They dont call him doctor for nothing. Great to see him and his bike back on form, he is without question the best rider in the best championship (imho).

To be honest i feel a bit sorry for stoner,(well not really). If he had of come along 10 years earlier or later we would of all been saying how great he was and admired him a lot more than we do now. But right now with rossi about he still gets put in his place and rossi is still a lot of peoples favorite. Maybe its his charisma/attitude but no matter how dominant stoner will be over the next few years i think rossi will still manage to frustrate him and hopefully beat him

stoner had to get out of it or he would have hit rossi and took them both down..what do you think rossi would have done in that situation

felt sorry for stoner but he will be back stronger than ever,we forget how young he still is and a lot of learning yet to do.

maybe Stoner should have used the gravel @ the Corkscrew

Rossi

Awesome race. I think Stoner was a bit of a baby at the end moaning about some of the overtaking, i think he just got flustered that he had a power advantage but the nimbler Yamaha shows the way in the corners.

Stoner is a very talented Rider however his attidue stinks...The way he was Whining/crying at the end does him no favours at all....
Stonner on this occasion you were beaten by the better rider..
