Pedrobot went home injured yesterday with a bust finger - aaawwww 
Top race and so funny to see Stoner being a sore loser and Rossi just laughing it off. Lorenzo was a very lucky bloke to get away with just a broken bone in his foot as he got some serious air from that flip

Well I watched the F1 race and I must have missed something! 
It was an absolute stroll for Hamilton who was about 2 seconds a lap quicker than everyone else all race. The only reason he had to overtake at the end was because the pace car bunched them up, he would have been about a minute ahead otherwise.
Just shows how dire F1 normally is, if that race was considered exciting!

Yeah but...there was a safety car period and Hamilton did make a stunning comeback... in short, yes you did miss summat.
And James Allen is still a ****

Why would I want to watch it again? The first time was bad enough, in my book a runaway win from the first corner isn't great racing. But as I say, compared to other F1 races, the fact that this had a change for the lead, probably ranks it as one of the finest races of all time!

Great race tonight, Rossi seems to have rediscovered his desire this season
I though it quite ironic that Rossi laughed off Stoner's anger at the end, especially when you look at some of the comments Rossi's made in the past when he's been on the receiving end of passes like those
To be honest I was expecting Vermeulen to be a lot closer to the front two than he was, but it appears the Bridgestone guy gave him some duff advice for his front

Oustanding race. And the commentary on Europsport was the best evidence yet why Toby, Julian and Randy should be snapped up by the BBC next season and replace Charlie and Steve.

Usually I would be recommending everyone to watch the U.S. Moto GP race @ the breathtaking Laguna Seca track live tonight at 21:40
However, it's almost certain that Casey Stoner will cruise to victory leaving a boring and predictable procession in his wake. (Schumaker/Ferrari style)
On the other hand - the F1 german GP earlier was a good race with lots of overtaking and Hamilton having to fight hard for his victory.
Are things starting to be stood on their head for the first time in many years, in that F1 is now actually becoming more interesting to watch than Moto GP?

Wingeing Stoner, no wonder the fans dont like him. He is superb and a brilliant rider, but he's also a bad loser.
But Rossi has it all, charisma, talent etc etc, but is he gay?

Poor old Melandri, he just doesnt get on with that Ducati, bet he'll be glad to get away ........
So it makes Stoners achievements even more remarkable, but I dont know what it is but I just cant take to him, lack of charisma, and humility may be the reason.

To be fair to Melandri, he was actually running 9th when he went off. Which based on this season is a massive achievement.

Funny how everybody forgets that Rossi is more than capable of the odd tantrum 
Usually when he's been on the receiving end of those sort of passing moves funnily enough
