Go Pedrosa Go..

[ambasnakeman]

michelin does it. big improvement from rossi and hayden.

 

top speed came from honda, not the ducati. i think pedrosa weight is playing apart. he just extended his contract for another 2 yrs with hayden.

[eyz]

i think casey stoner intends to win the championship at home ground. nothing beats lifting the championship in front of your countrymen.

[spiderman]

Stoner is starting at 9th of the grid. Pls update the race result when they are done!

[R.C.]

2007 MotoGP Champion - Casey Stoner Ducati

 

Rossi super pissed with his front tire it seems...

[rein_jahat14]

ARGHGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

 

Dani Crashes.....

 

Rossi did so well!!!!!!2nd bike fail him terribily...

 

ARGHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

 

TOO SOON!!!!!!!!STONER CROWN CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!

[keown]

It all RED from here now...but look at Rossi chase after stoner & overtake him, that is Rossi.

[GuiNNeSS]

wow dani's crash looks really painful....btw stonner's wife v pretty n cute leh.....

[GuiNNeSS]

think michelin fare badly this season......wonder wat else they can do to improve the rubbers?

[FoOLs]

I was wondering if rossi dont change to dry tire bike will he still maintain his position with wet tire bike?

[GuiNNeSS]

Thumbs up for caprirossi......he is so fast n in control.....ginger still the old 1 spicy.....

[GuiNNeSS]

I was wondering if rossi dont change to dry tire bike will he still maintain his position with wet tire bike?

 

it will be pretty hard......as u see he is doing average 1.58 per lap(wet tyre) whereas the guys with dry slick r doing 1.53 per lap.....n wet tyres on dry rd really wears them out faster.....see how dani crash.....rossi still got abt 11 laps to go.....so if he continues to use wet tyres,he cant do fast lap n chances of him losing grip v high......then u will see all the dry tyre guys going pass rossi......it will be a big gamble to continue using the wet tyres for the remaining laps.but think it's better to be safe than sorry......who will know that his(rossi) 2nd bike will have problem with the front tyre...
