Czech GP - Spoilers, ok?
Discussion
7 out of 12! Not too shabby.
Glad to see Hayden back on the podium too, and also great to see him get the better of Pedrosa. Hopkins seemed very pleased with the result and rightly so, really
So we now have an increased 60pt gap between Stoner and Rossi and a decreased 18pt gap between Rossi and Pedrosa. It's almost starting to look like Rossi might not take 2nd place this season. Still, there's another 150pts up for grabs so we'll have to wait and see

Must say I did enjoy the brief tussle between hayden and pedrosa, obviously I was expecting hayden to take them both out 
Good to see him finding some kind of form lately, here's hoping he can keep it up, the more competative the better.
Great show by hopkins, nice race finished in a good position and a tasty wheelie.
Did anyone catch what happened with Edwards? I missed them explaining it (fecking doorbell) but from what I caught it sounded like he just overcooked it or something, very uncharacteristic of colin if that was the case.
Valentino who? Doesn't half show that he's not used to not being in the number 1 spot, total change of character,perhaps he's just not happy, could see why especially with the tax man chasing him total blanking of all the media this weekend apparantly.
Going to be an exciting season next year, be great to see Toseland in the GP's, and interesting seeing how he does, personally I think he'll do very well but you never know with these things.
Must have totally missed all the shenanigans with people chopping and changing teams this season, some interesting changes going on means it's shaping up to be a promising season next year. Must admit as much as I don't want to look too far ahead as this season's still going on, it's been a bit dull in my opinion, still great to watch, but a smidgen lacklustre compared to the few years previous to it.
to summarise; good race, enjoyed it

Stoner was faultless. But what a boring race. [125's was much better] The sooner they dump Traction/launch control the better. Just aint Rossi's year and I'm sad about that. He may have deafed the media for the weekend but is that any suprise as all they will want to talk about is TAX. I'm looking forward to seeing JT in Moto GP next year, also reckon Melandri will be a man to watch on a Ducati next year.
PS will someone stick something hot up Pedrosas arse to put a smile on the miserable little shits face for phuck sake!

Was a bit of a quiet race in MotoGP apart from the 2 groups battling for 5th and 9th. Nasty accident in the 250cc warm-up but I hear Sekiguchi is ok. Didn't see the bike in the road due to dust and it being a downhill with an unsighted dip.

Deffo the most boring race ever.
Stoner has it all wrapped up, and you can't knock him for it, even though I don't particularly like him.
We were talking at the weekend, and people are convinced that he's just not got the fight in him anymore. I agree the tax thing may be playing on his mind, but I fear we may have seen the best of him.
I can't see Toseland making great waves next season, but I hope so...otherwise I'll no longer have a favourite!

You don't have to support someone that wins all the time, you know I mean, I've followed Stoner for years and this year has been a fantastic season for us stonerites! I follow Edwards too because he's great to watch on and off the track and think he'll be a good pairing with Toseland (if that's the way it goes).

As a Stoner fan, don't you wish you could see him start from way down and fight his way through, or even racing someone rather than round the first in the lead, never to be seen again.

Agree with all those points. Can't remember seeing such a dull bike race.Think I echo most comments on here. Great to see Stoner doing so well in championship-especially after all the sacrifices him & his folks made to come to UK to race. Particularly to see him beating Mr(toys out of the pram) Pedrosa with all the support he had from Honda & Svengali Puig.
However that race was as boring as Formula 1 which I stopped watching for that reason. The new tyre rules & other changes have brought about a strange championship this year & that together with Stoner's success does a complete discredit to the undoubted talents of Rossi.
British & World Superbikes are looking more watchable each weekend-and you get 2 races per meeting.!!
