Pedrosa,Stoner,Dovi etc are still only the sideshow to the main event that is Rossi & Jorge going at it toe to toe...a taste of what to expect for the rest of the year?

If so you will be in the box seat ya lucky bastard.

I agree, that was awesome. Moto GP was exciting to watch again.

Pretty full on race wasn't it! Gotta say...Rossi did one particular move that I think was not on. If you've got your wheel in front...you can pretty much do what you like. But at one stage when Lorenzo was clearly in front, Rossi picked his bike up and tried to run Lorenzo off the track...and that's not cool. He always makes out like "That's racing", but I bet you anything you like he'd be the first one to complain if it was done to him. Good to see him get his arse handed to him by Stoner again though.

Yeah stoner didnt even look like he was pushing to his limit

Nice ride from Dovi too to keep on stoners tail

No love lost on the track and off!!

Jorge Lorenzo

Position: 4th Time: +6.221
"This was a big battle between Valentino and I, two warriors with the killer instinct. I have to say that at some points I do not think he was completely fair, we were both on the limit but some of his moves were maybe a bit too much and he touched me and pushed me wide when I don't think it was right. We are team-mates, I am fighting for the Riders' Championship but we are both fighting for the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championship as well and we have to remember this. I am disappointed to miss the podium of course because I wanted one at Yamaha's home, but this is racing. We chose to ride with the old engine to be safe and then I wasn't getting the best feeling from the front tyre, so things weren't perfect for me, but anyway we took some good points. We are very close to getting our dream and I really hope we can do it next weekend in Sepang."

Valentino Rossi

Position: 3rd Time: +5.707

"What a great race! Of course I would have preferred to be battling for the win but anyway it was a great feeling, a real show and I want to congratulate Jorge because he was very strong and didn't give up! Unfortunately I lost time at the start when he passed me so Stoner and Dovizioso got away, and by the time I passed him again they were too far ahead. At the end I was tired and my tyre was sliding a lot, it was a bit softer than I would have liked, so I knew I was going to be in trouble but I wanted the podium so much. Jorge came back at me and we had a great battle, proper racing - I think everyone watching enjoyed it. It's been a great weekend because we expected it to be difficult but in fact we've been strong in every session and worked very well on our bike. The shoulder is okay at the moment so let's go to Malaysia and see if we can continue like this, or better!"

Great racing for 3rd and 4th, but more on the grid sorely needed.

Oh and a red bike was at the front.

Rossi will have no excuse for not winning races on it then eh!

The meanest/hardest passing moves in the last few years interestingly have one common denominator. Val. On Lorenzo in Japan, Stoner at Laguna Seca and Gibernau, somewhere?

I'm all for last lap hard passes etc, but not picking your bike up mid turn to force someone off the track! Still...the others should simply repay the favour and see how he likes it.
