Casey Stoner's proved he's got spunk, in more ways than one - he completely crushed the opposition, wining by 6.5 seconds, and that's after taking it easy on the last lap. Perhaps we have seen this years world champion on action. And maybe next years dad of the year. I tried starting a rumour on Twitter that Rossi is the father, he's riding Casey's bike, so why not ride..... anyway, you get the picture, but nobody seemed to want to run with it, not even TwipGP.
The race itself was a complete shut-out by the Honda's with all three of the top spots being taken by one of their riders. They probably would have had the top four if Pedrosa hadn't fallen off. Rossi seemed reasonably happy, this time he managed to finish (almost) within sight of the winner, and definitely in sight of the podium, finishing only 12 seconds behind Stoner, but just as importantly only 2.5 seconds behind Spies. Perhaps they're starting to get there with the Ducati now.
Again a line from Twitter, this time from MotoGPJules (Julian Rider), "BTW, on mature reflection I have come to the conclusion that Rossi's statement on Friday about moving the Duc's handlebars was bollocks". These technical journalists know how to thrown a phrase together.
The Moto2 race was almost as exciting as the second Supersport race from Brands Hatch, with the winner (one of a possible five) not being decided till the last corner. Bradley didn't fair to well. his qualifying was on a hard tyre due to a breakdown in communication in the pits, and just as he seemed to be going well, he fell off.
Noddy has the monster on the road, spitting 2-stroke oil looking like a proper tart, especially now he has a leather jacket that matches the bike. Something must be working though as he's closing the gap on Bel a bit, and Paul's closing the gap on Noddy.
Next racing is MotoGP from Indianapolis. Enjoy.
