Valentino Rossi will be angling for his 100th podium in the senior MotoGP class as the 2007 edges ever nearer to its climax at this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
Reckon he will make it?

Rossi was throwing his toys out the pram pre race, bloody stupid as well when you consider after the race he was only 4.7 seconds behind Stoner, it smells more like sour grapes than tyre problems to me.
I also can't understand him when he comes out with bollox like, I'll leave MotoGP if I don't get what I want. Is he turning into another Max?

After the race he said he was happy with his bike and his tyres and confirmed he was able to run a good pace. He put his inability to fight at the front down to his poor qualifying.
Happy to be interviewed, not blaming his equipment, didn't sound like sour grapes to me.

I think they all have a whinge when the mood takes them.
Stoner can be a whiny little shit when things don't go his way. I think we might see some more of that next season if things are close.
Racing is life - anything before or after is just waiting.

Must admit I'm rather looking forward to seeing how Melandri does against him, he's IMO a better rider and has pushed him hard when he's been behind on what is an inferior machine
