MotoGP Jerez: RESULTS

[1vanvan1]

Wow, What a race! Great battle between Stoner and Rossi early on! MAN Rossi hangs that leg out far! Wowza, Apparently they asked him and he said he can break a lot harder with it hanging off. Interesting. But he got past into 2nd. Lorenzo fell off the pace a bit early which is unfortunate! Was rooting for him. Looks like He settled for 4th. Pedrosa took a early lead. Extended to just under 2 sec. Rossi uped the pace and slowly clawed that back. 11 Laps to go and Rossi was on Pedrosa back wheel! The next lap, He PASSED! WOo! Rossi took off and had a good lead. Meanwhile, Lorenzo was closing the gap on Stoner in 3rd place. Unfortunately he was pushing it a bit to hard and low sided with 3 laps to go! Bike still going but had problems so had to go in! Gutted he didn't get any points! Rossi Celebrated again by running to the portaloo! CLASSIC!

Ended up:
Rossi
Pedrosa
Stoner

Yep that Farkin' MINT!
250's was an awesome race and Moto GP was pretty top draw too, pity to see Lorenzo bin, he would have been lucky to get Stoner by the end of the race though.
All in all, good days viewing...

The big story in the MotoGP race has to be Melandri in 6th, I think it was. Talk about a turn up from last year, he's finally figured it out it's time to start putting in a bit of effort.

Watched the 250's and that was brillant Adoyama deserved the win but did feel sorry Bautista losing it by a breath was fantastic to watch then low and behold I fell asleep to awake 6 laps from the finish for GP (thank god for highlights) was stoked that Rossi was leading and then just saw Lorenzo bin it.... he shouldn't have pushed so hard he'll learn.
it's been a great weekend racing for both WSBK & MotoGP why would you watch any thing else????!!!!!!: yes:
GO ROSSI :2thumbsup
