Old Dany Pedrosa did awesome though, first Motogp race since winning the 250 title and he finishes 2nd.......and Stoner in 6th place on his debut. Awesome, but I think it shows more about the state of Motogp having lost a lot of great riders than anything.

What a difference a season makes!!!!
Some may be interested in these test times at Jerez - after the MotoGP.
Stoner is the cat among the pigeons, eh............

Im not sure Rossi would have done well in the Race he has been having major chatter problems with his bike.

Rossi said in an interview that the problem appeared worse at Jerez than elsewhere, and that it was more extreme with qualifying tyres than with race rubber.

So he might have to pass some other riders to get to the front.
OK by me :-)

There'll be people slosing sleep at Yamaha and Michelin over this.

Be interesting to see how it goes...

[R6_kid:Me]

just watched the racing (cheers Finn for the great footage)... gotta say i was a bit gutted to see Rossi taken out, but at the end of the racing i have to say that i am now a Pedrossa fan - that kid's got balls man.

Did Rossi lose his right footpeg in the crash ?

Did Rossi lose his right footpeg in the crash ?

Don't think so - although the commentator initially said that he did??

[denill]

Did Rossi lose his right footpeg in the crash ?

Mmmm, have read that - Rossi said he arrived on the inside of the first turn and Elias was already coming too fast, “and he take my seat and I crash. So we lost our chance." Rossi punched the air in frustration and didn't immediately pick up his bike. Nor did he re-start quickly. "I restart, but the bike was not perfect. I haven’t the rear brake. It wasn’t 100%. We take two points.”

Elias apologized to Rossi, then added that he was happy for his own finish, a career best fourth, and just 0.139 behind Hayden.

Don't forget Toni Elias - he managed to come 4th and beat team mate Marco Melandri (who I think came 2nd last year (?)). Them 250 boys are going to shake things up - that's for sure!

[pritch]

There's a photo on the www.crash.net gallery that show Rossi all set to go on the edge of the gravel trap but he appears to be waving his right foot around in the air as if looking for somewhere to put it.

Other than up Elias' date.

Shit, looks like I am the only Max fan left............

Nah your not. When Max first moved to the 500's he did exactly what Pedrosa has done. The Guy came close to a World Championship in his first year. Sure he moans and bitches but there are not that many racers that have performed better than Biaggi during his time in 500 and MotoGP.

My fav rider was Mick Doohan, and Mick knew how to bitch. Did have a few Championships to back up the bitching though.

Good to see new blood in MotoGP though.

Max will probably end up on a reality TV show.

i think bring back Kevin Swantz now he could ride like me

rossie will win again he has the tallent

Check out the TAB Odds:
Reckon a dollar or a bit more on Elias would not go astray?? To come from last to 4th mmm.
