MotoGP Starting...

Forget that boring spectacle called F1, tune into Eurosport or BBC2 now for some proper 200+mph racing

Awesome...

I can only hope that Stoner was so upset about the Corkscrew incident when Rossi was in the Dirt, hopefully when Stoner see's the tape back he'll realise what happened and lighten up a bit.

I've seen Riders kicked into the dirt when overtaking in MotoGP.. now thats OTT and unsportsman like, I thought today was nothing more than good hard racing.

Shame there wasn't more coverage and the press conference on.

Wonder if there going to put an Altimeter on George Lorenzo.. that guy gets some BIG air!

what an awesome race that battle for 1st was excellent! first time ivve really watched a whole motorbike race being a car fan really but seriously entertaining stuff! what a load of crap stoner came out with at the end though i hope when he watches the tape back he'll see all of the overtakes were legit and just good hard racing!

Couldnt be arsed with the post race interview. What did the whinging Aussie have to say??

He was beaten fair and square by a better rider on a bike with less power. Brilliant!

I was jumping around like an idiot! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!

What racing, skill and nerve! When Rossi held stoners overtake by taking the outside line, and making it stick - it was stunning.

I was glad it was on late - i needed the lie down!!

Lorenzo's attempt to go into low orbit was impressive...

...but you've got to feel for the bloke - he was only just recovering from braking his ankles.

Low orbit? Thought he was shooting for the moon! Never seen someone thrown so high from a high side. First point of contact was his head so hopefully his ankles will be OK. Anyone seen a report on how he is?

How the hell Rossi kept it shiny side up is beyond me, right hand side of his tyre looked pretty munched to me. And how did he find any grip on the dirt at the corkscrew?

I was against the strokers going over to four strokes in the big class but to witness the noise and speed those things do is totally mind blowing....Shame Casey had a moan as I like the way the lad rides that Duke but Rossi showed why he is the best out there...genius on 2 wheels and glad he is staying put...

Still love the strokers tho....

He's got a broken metatarsal (sp?) in one foot. - he might be OK for the next race as it's quite a long way ahead, but I've broken one of them in the past, and it HURTS!
