Thats IF Honda allow him to get on his bike. Didnt they say he has broken a finger, Honda might say it would be a health and safety danger to allow him to ride with it.

Yeah, I heard he'd broken a finger. I wonder who did that for him? hehe

Pedrosa did a live interview on MotoGP Extra after the race, and I have to say I was amazed he didn't appear with a black eye and a fat lip. Looking at Hayden's reaction immediately after the crash, I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near him for several days if I was Pedrosa. Can you imagine what the Honda bigwigs back in Japan were thinking when they saw that? Well done to Toni Elias though, some of the moves he pulled off today were brilliant. An awesome display of bike control.

Although I think, along with most people, that Rossi deserves the title more and has worked harder for it, I was gutted for Hayden today. I can't believe Pedrosa was that .

Oops.

There seems to have been a school of thought which says he goes in to corners to hot and that's pretty much what he did today. Shame but it was still an amazing race.

I personally don't think Hayden has what it takes either in terms of skill or the bike to have won the title anyway given the form Rossi is currently showing.

Got to say that Elias's move under braking into that corner passing Edwards (on one wheel!) was stunning

Elias seemed overwhelmed with emotion. I thought he was going to start blubbing but he allowed himself just the one manly tear on the podium. Great race.

Awesome stuff. The last lap tussle between Rossi and Elias through the corners was awesome!!! Thought Rossi was going to lose it at one stage but, oh no...

As s bike newbie I am stunned by their skill - awesome clap

Awesome race.

Rossi has now got to win the title, surely.

Can't wait for Valencia in a couple of week. Now just need to sort out the accomodation (shouldn't have left it this long, I know).

Lucky son of a censored! I've heard it's been sold out for weeks (ticket wise, not accomodation I hope!) Tempted to get a cheap flight and pay a scalp. scratchchin

Was a superb race, to have to go to a photo finish, literally really shows what this series is all about. Stick it to the F1 boys, can't believe people still watch that trash with motorsport like this on TV.

I do feel sorry for Hayden though, as he was looking good, passing Edwards on the outside! But same happened to Rossi at the start of the year, so if and buts, that's racing!

Che Spettacolo!
