Just turnd it on to the warm up of the 250's. Forgot all about it. Wish I had seen the 125 race and wish I had set the sky+ yesterday. It is better than the big boys which is usualy predictable

Was (finally) a proper race. Good result. Congrats to De Puniet. Quality ride.

I thought the 125 an 250 races were a let down when compared to the 800's, fantastic race easilythe best races in the last 6 or 7 years.

I'd like to see the 1st 3 have a race all on the same bike.

Great race for De Puniet he's done really well today.


Glad to see that prat Elias came off, some of his manouvres are downright dangerous.


The 250 race was boring in the extreme and there's the idiot Lorenzo trying to do a Rossi after the win, pathetic!

Maybe he did, but as an entertainer he's about as useful as Chris Evans.

I bet you didn't think that he's only doing it cos he's Rossi's team rider next year.

They'd not all fit - perhaps it may be possible on Mamola's 2 seater if they all squashed up a bit ..... but it'd not be much of a race ......

Great racing and particulary the 800s, love it when it's that close, the 125s and 250s are always closer, so I suppose we get used to it, (well done again Bradley!).
What the hell does Rossi do when the Duke comes past so easily on the straight?
Desmo valve gear finally coming good after all these years?!? :smt017
Looks like it. The new 800s rely on revs and Desmo "gives you more".
Rossi is havin to ride his socks off at every round, take a look at where Colin is most races.
Then again Stoner is doing brilliant, (I've always been a big Capirossi fan, but he can't get near Stoner).
Best ride of the weekend vote - Randy de Puniet, what a bloke and so good to see a Qwack up there, he even got hit on the left knee during the race!
Four different bikes in first 4 places, even better!
