nope! what happened?

gee that race was good! the 250 finish was insane too! Well worth loosing sleep over

All good stuff

How good it Sete riding now tho - he pushed Rossi well hard.   It appeared Troy just had tyre issues in the middle of the race - cause he slipped back bloody quickly (did anyone bother to watch the interviews and if so, did he explain what went wrong?)...

Troy started with a softer compound rear, while the others had a hard compound, so that they had a tad more control at the end - ie - they were sliding coming out of the corners, Troy was sliding going into the corners!

In the interviews Troy said that he hit the front and was sitting there very easily but when the others got past him he found it very dificult to try and step it up to the next level.
Still bloody impressive.
C'mon kawasaki,suzuki,aprilia you look like dicks fooling around at the back.

dunno what's happening to the kwakas but i know the aprilias  had been fighting a chattering problem all weekend. they used the line 'this has given us an excellent base for the next race' quite extensively but of course it means they've probably made little engine or tyre progress in the mean time. bugger it

Suzuki are a real failure. How come when they can produce such wonders as the GSXR1000 for the street?

Sete raced for them last year at the back of the pack, give the man a Honda and he's challenging for the championship. Says something about the bike because it looks like there was nothing wrong with his ability.

As for Barros and Edwards I bet they wish they were still on Hondas.

Even Hayden seems to be warming up a bit now and starting to put the Honda to good use.

Ducati - nothing to say really - they are right up there - all credit to them.

p.s. on another website the Suzukis and others were referred to as moving chicanes for the Hondas and Ducatis. They are being dicked.

[Dave]

It probably demonstrates how different motogp is-aprilia making class leading 125's and 250's for ten years,suzuki building class winning road /sports proddy bikes. And yet none of these can nail motogp. Must be some clever bastards at Ducati.
