Stoner might be too busy thinking about how much $$$$$ Honda will pay him for next year.

Oh, I don't think Rossi is that easily demoralized, 9 World championships 104 wins (in all classes) - that takes a LOT of mental toughness - every champs reign has to end some time, but I don't think Rossi is going to succumb to any mind games. Plus when its as close as this year has started out sometimes even a tiny bit of "luck" (of either flavour) can make a difference.
I enjoyed watching the race.
While I'd like Rossi to win ( 10 times world champ has a nice ring to it ) if Lorenzo takes the title he probably deserves it, and if he doesn't there is always next year. Rossi doesn't have as many "next" years. Bring it on !!!

Got to concur totally with that. They are both characters to the nth degree and its a fascinating battle. Got to admit to having always been a Yamaha fan as well.

Why Tony Elias has not got a prime MotoGP ride is beyond me though, he is more deserving of a top ride than some of the other regulars. I hope he takes the Moto2 title, he deserves it.

Unlike Edwards....Elias has at least won a Moto GP race! Brilliant race it was too!!!
