I take it you've already watched it. Don't tell me the outcome!

I just started it...holy cow, Hayden from 1st to 16th in the first lap! What is this madness!

And double Holy Cow! Rossi is riding like a mad man! He passed 4 people (including Pedrosa and Melandri) in 1 lap!

Wow, weird race.

Well, some of my predictions were close. Nakano certainly did surprise everyone but didn't do it for long enough. Melandri ran slightly better than a "decent race," Checa and Edwards were out of the picture, Capirossi wasn't in the picture.

But oh boy, Pedrosa in 15th! I certainly wasn't expecting that!

Anyone else think that Checa may quite possibly be the slowest man ever to move from one bike to the other? Good grief, his first pit was pretty slow, but his second...he musta stood there for 6 or 7 seconds just looking stupid! His pit crew was waving at him trying to get him to move...

Anyways, looks like Pedrosa's chances at the championship may be all but gone. It'll be interesting to see what Rossi and Hayden have left in 'em!

I was thinking that when you posted this the race was already completed..... :laughing:
Decent comeback by Mr. Hayden, but He should have taken a run at Rossi in the last 1/2 lap. As it was, Rossi taking Gibernau in the last corner might turn out to be a big component in the championship. Sure gotta feel for Nakano.... For the past few years I've said that the guy has as much talent as anyone out there and today he was showing just that. It was just a bad call to stay out for the extra lap. Bummer.

Anyone see the 250cc race? Talk about coming down to the wire. Time between 1st and 2nd place was .009 seconds, I wasn't sure who won!

Comeback? He must have been kissed on the dick by the proverbial rain faeries because that was the only thing that saved him from utter embarrassment.

How good was Melandri's one handed powerslide on the final corner!?

Stupid Nakano! I was yelling at the tv telling him to pit NOW! :mad2: There was no advantage to be gained by staying out another lap. Oh well.

And how can Hayden possibly screw up a start that badly. From pole position to 16th?!?! It didn't look like anything actually happened to him other than 15 people passing him in the first few corners. :roll:

I wonder how Pedrosa felt being lapped my the top five finishers? That might leave a mark on his ego. :oops:

Rossi sure is fun to watch. :spaz:

Ok, so I had some fun with the emoticons. But what a race!
