    Looks to me like Stoner is becoming very adept at managing the gap. Lorenzo's onboard footage showed him getting a front wheel near the outside, but that was about it — Lorenzo wouldn't (couldn't?) go around the outside, and Stoner just kept opening that gap back up to about a second.

    Hard to tell if (Casey's) Honda is good on tyres as it seems he's always sliding around anyway!

    Good race repeat of the last one really, bit of a pattern forming with Casey a fraction better than Lorenzo and Lorenzo a fraction better than Pedro.

    At least Rossi seems a bit more positive The Eurosport guys are betting the Duc is a 6th place bike and thats best it will do for the rest of the season.

    The Crutchlow Vs Bautista battle is damn good. They got them Monster bikes going well

    Generally the order is pretty a good reflection of where they are all at!
    Hopefully someone can step up and make the rest of the season a bit more dramatic

    That's been the highlight of the season so far for me. Those 2 are well matched but have different styles of riding and they're both doing the job. Herve must think it's Christmas having the 2 fastest, non-factory riders.

    Personally, I want Dovi to come out on top in that duel cos he's a good bugger.

    Yeah cept he's gotta get rid of one of them to make way for Bradley fucking Smith at the end of the year!!!

    He only managed 10th last race to. We'll see Marquez up to wont we?? Dunno why but Marquez gives me the shits.
    Mind you he is a gifted rider just to smarmy ( is that a word?) for my liking.

    Looks like Ducati are 100% behind Rossi and Burgess!!!

    Well I really rate Marquez ,but i think he will be a bit like Stoner that you'll either love or loathe him. I reckon he'll podium in his 1st season in Motogp.
    Bradley Smith should give his bike to Jake Lewis.....

    Yes agree he'll do a bit better than Bradl and he's had a really good start!
    Hate to say it but I thought Marquez management of his race it Jerez was masterful, very mature.

    Stoner I've always liked his style, best out there atm. Lorenzo just cant quite do it. I'll keep backing Pedro just because I'd like to see him prove the predictions wrong but alas it looks like he'll always be almost good enough! Mind you Pedro was balls out at that last start Ah well someone better fall off soon or it'll be Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedro for the rest of the season.

    He's incredibly fast but I don't like his lack of concern for other riders. He'll punt someone off (his fault), they'll get hurt and he'll only be concerned about how it ruined his lap time. For example, after he rammed Wilairot at Phillip Island in statements he said the minimum he could about it and at no time did you get the impression he was sincere or sorry.

    Extemely talented but dangerous if you ask me.

    Agreed 100% but that may make them want him in Moto GP more, they need drama up the top atm now that Simo's not there to do scary shit! They all seem to get on to well to make good TV atm

    Difference is all the MotoGP guys would've thought twice about taking a swing at Marco but they'll flatten Marcquez (well maybe not little Danny!!)
