Bloody excellent race. Proves the point, if proof were needed, that whilst Stoner can ride fast if you give him a fast bike, he's outclassed if you put a little pressure on, and ultimately that's what sent him into the litter.

Funniest part of the whole race was the interviews in parc ferme afterwards. Stoner started grizzling about Rossi being too hard on him (as Parrish put it, it's a bike race, not a knitting competition), then they interviewed Rossi and said "So, we've heard Casey's side, what's your version?" to which Vale coolly replied "Of what?" hehe

Brilliant race. Rossi was fantastic - hard but fair! When he caught the gravel on the corner thought "it's all over" but bloody brilliant control!!!!

I was gutted, that stoner fell off. It would have been one of the best MGPs ever had they carried on like that until the line. Still a superb race, and you can't knock stoner for a lack of family jewels. His attempts at overtaking on the S/F "straight" were breathtaking - damn good IMO for someone with only three seasons under his belt.

Nice to see Toseland improving after his recent bad luck to.

Incredible race, hard but fair, there wasnt anything illegal.
As the commentators said, Casey thought Valentino tried to run him off on the cork screw but Rossi had gone off the track!
