    Maybe what we need is a sticky post (I would volunteer right now but I'm supposed to be busy working) on how to post race results or any thread that may give the outcome of a race away? Could just use Jim2s comments?

    It needs to be remembered that not everyone is able to to watch the race or find out the results until some family and work convenient time. FWIW I'll be watching the race tonight.

    Perhaps I might've been a little harsh before as well...

    I agree, and then maybe we can we keep the post on the topic of how excellent the race was and not how pissed off we are because we found out the result.
    (rant over)

    Excellent watch.!
    Rossi rode like a demon! Seemed like he was possesed for the entire duration.
    Stoner has obviously matured a lot - he went hard but didn't push it like he used to last year - unlike Hopkins who just overdid it a little.

    It's a long season - damn, it's going to be a good one.
    Keep it rubber-side down...

    It was good to see Stoner aggressive but a bit more careful than he was last year - 12 months ago he was getting so excited his talents weren't saving him then I think he's been settled down a bit with his newfound responsibilities - or maybe the new wife is taking the edge off :-) Speaking of whom, she looks like she's the wife of a 14 year old, doesn't she?!
    A pity about Hopkins bin, it was an odd looking one. I just wonder if his injured wrist gave out at an inopportune moment. He was on a charge, tho'....there'll be more, it really looks like Suzuki have the 800 pretty close.
    I loved Rossi's pass on Pedrosa! And Nicky's start was a good one too, from where he was on the grid - pity it didn't last and he went backwards. Elias was quick too.
    There's going to be some tears shed this season - inevitable with everyone qualifying so close. Vale will get away with it, but rookies are going to be made examples of by Dorna, would be my guess.
    The bugger is we have to wait a month before the next one.

    Cheers

    What I'm looking for is all the ducati riders who stiffened at the thought they were riding something that was world class and just got put back in their box....

    ....BRING IT....
    Just remind me again what won WSBK last year and is the current WSBK champion.
    I dont think it was a Hondughh VTR1000.

    I'm not a Suzuki fan or a John Hopkins fan, but I was a little gutted for him when he ran out of talent. I was over it pretty quick though, so thats all right.

    The main race was a good one, but the race of the day had to be the 250's. 11 overtakes in 3.5 minutes in the last few laps, awesom

    Yawn. You could at least discuss the real reason the Dukes didn't do too well on Sunday. The straight at Jerez is half the length of the Qatar straight.

    The Ducatis can wind up to an incredible speed - they need a big straight to do it on though.

    And as for Hoppy, I don't think it was the talent that let him down. remember he's riding with a broken wrist - I just don't think it could hold it at the pace he was doing. Better luck for him in the next few weeks - I think he's finally got a bike to match his ability personally.

    edit: just checked out motogp.com and Hoppy reckons the Suzuki caught a wind gust which lightened the front too much...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Rossi, excellent display of skill and determination.
    Stoner, yup it seems as though he has `matured` and has the goods to be a contender.
    Hopkins, was gutted when he went down.
    Hayden, was in better form this race but does he have enough to hold onto the #1 title?

    And finding out the result before you intended does suck. Luckily I`ve got a subscrption to motogp.com and watch the race as it happens.
