Yamaha - 1st 2nd and 3rd!!!?

Never seen a race like this one! Yamaha is finally doing their thing (both teams, bad for JT)! And who was this guy with Rossi? ;) And Lorenzo with his troubles ankle still getting second. This has to be the best season for Yamaha... I'm so excited that I'm even speechless..

Your thoughts on the race?

    Hey Alex, Rossi was just in another league today.

    I must thank Dovi for riding like a complete wanker and taking JT out of the race. 2 laps in and Dovi thinks its the last lap or something. What a fool.

    I really cant remember the last time we had a Yamaha 1 / 2 / 3 . May be back in 1992. Rainey / Kocinski & ??? . No I really cant think!

    Bradley Smith was fantastic in the wet today. He got real lucky with the re-start, but he made great his result. Back in the title hunt now!

    All in all, a fantastic days racing. I think I might have a beer and relax buy watching it all over again on the .com !

    Me too :-))))

    I'm very happy for Rossi,after all the problems he had at the beginning of the season ,these two consecutive wins and record equalisation(hopefully a record break in the neares future:-) are awesome.I believe that they'll raise both his confidence and motivation.

    What Lorenzo did is heroic I'd say.He could hardly step but finished second.(I bet that even Pedrosa is impressed :-DDDD)Now I realise what you meant telling me that he's a dangerous rival for the strong will he possesses.

    I think it was high time Edwards made a podium.I had,lets call it a hush that he'll be among the first three finished.

    Yamaha have a good occasion for celebration :-)Mind you that Rossi and Lorenzo were in the second row at the start.

    Hi A.nik, The first few laps were fantastic. even after Rossi took off I thought Pedrossa was going to catch him. then Lorenzo coming from last week and getting second, what would he have done if he was fit. Stoner breaking down ??? unheard of. I felt sorry for JT. Dovi did well too. I was disappointed in Marco. I thought he was getting it together, he usually goes well at le man, so much happened today. great racing.

    Source(s): Your looking good in the Tipping stakes. 16 points. I think it puts you ahead of us regulars. congrats.

    Great race, both Yamaha drivers doing well. Rossi really outshone Stoner, even before the he had that bike problem and Lorenzo kicked Pedrosa's ***!

    Morning Anik

    What a corker - the old fella with Rossi was Angel Nietto - who has also won 90 gp's and Rossi wanted to pay tribute to that,

    It was great racing.

    The GoldWing is probable the smart selection. inspite of the reality that in case you have ever heard a Valkyrie with 6 promptly pipes... wow. so far as seems and leaving means the Yamaha probable has the sting. i'm uncertain yet i think of the Royal celeb is a minimum of 200 pounds lighter than the two of the Hondas. The Valkyrie is like 800 pounds and 10 ft long from tire to tire.
