Well rossi did a good job to stay so close to him, but someone is going to get a talking to and they are going to have many late nights trying to sort out the problem.

I know, but it never felt this much faster down the straights!

Crashy was simply pulling away like if Rossi was on a damn pushbike!

That duke is a rocket ship; you're all commenting about how yamaha will be putting in extra work to find power, but look how easily rossi could close in the corners! I think in jerez, the yamaha's will have an easier time.

Don't write too much into it. Quite simply, the Duke was faster, but it could well be set up that way, and the Yamaha could be set up for the twisty bits. And thare's only a couple of other circuits where that's really going to work.

It's only race 1, Rossi had a DNF this time last year so he's already 20 points better off.

Pedrosa did well too.

Have to mention Hopper as well. Glad to see the Suzuki up the sharp end!

don't forget John Hopkins on the Suzuki. 4th was a wonderful result and stayed all the way with Pedrosa and his Honda. Good for the future.
