Stick that bradley whats-his-face from the 125s on JTs trusty steed and see how he goes! I can't remember the last time a WSB rider crossed over into motogp and was competitive. I can't remember which troy (corser or bayliss?) Jumped into motogp and then said its a completely different way of riding, you have to effectively re-learn how to race.

The difference between the two championships is huge. It's like comparing F1 to Touring Car racing. MotoGP bikes are purpose built racing machines, WSB bikes are just standard road bikes with a bit of tuning and slick tyres. |

i like a nice clean fight and all that, but i prefer Rossi to get one over on Lorenzo, even if it's for third. looks like it was an awesome race from these short highlights: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/9055377.stm |

It was a fantastic last two laps, it certainly looked ike Rossi was desperate to beat Jorge (and vice-versa).

New season about to start in Qatar. Should be an interesting one with a few of the big players moving to new teams.

Considering his shoulder is costing him 0.5 seconds per lap, that was an astonishing ride from Rossi. I nearly came in my pants when he jumped from 9th to 2nd from the start.
No one was ever beating Stoner. The championship is his to throw away already. Pedrosa will just fall to pieces again and Lorenzo just hasn't got the temperament. He's bound to chuck it in to the gravel a few times.

No real surprise that Stoner won, He has always been quick in Qatar, and the Honda has looked very fast so far this year.
More of a concern is the problem that Danny mentioned after the race. If he doesn't get it sorted then it's going to be a two horse race this season (at least until Vale gets over his surgery)
Will be interesting to see how Stoner goes at Jerez, which should favour Lorenzo.
