Brilliant last lap! Real racing. That man Rossi is fantastic. And straight after the Isle of Man TT races too where John Mc Guinness did a lap at over 131 mph. Maybe the F1 shower should take a look at this stuff and take notes. We might get some racing there as well if they finally work out that the aero is killing the racing.

My Dad called me about the IOM ...131MPH...that is flying ..I remember Joey lapping at 118mph and thinking... "BLOODY HELL"...
Still amazes me that the old guard were lapping at a ton with skinny tyres and no brakes...

Heheh yep I think he has what it takes.
It certainly was one of the most exciting last couple of laps I have seen for a long time. Three riders on equal points after six races...That's close..
Casey looked completely gutted after the finish.
Casey said he was actually ill and didn't know what was up with his health. He looked the part.
To out brake someone in a corner that typically uses no brakes was spectacular. Rossi entered shallow and "straight", too fast to hold the line. But then he pulled the move that made it all god like..... at just the right moment he braked just enough to keep his teammate off line (and himself on line) so Lorenzo could not use his better traditional path to outdrive him to the finish. Only Rossi could figure that out on the fly AND pull it off in a high speed sweeping corner without crashing.
Rossi is not my favorite, but I have to admit. God on two wheels

Yeah he might just make it 100 first class wins, on 99 after spain.
My heart was racing and I was only sitting on the couch. Absolutely fantastic stuff, if Stoner was fit enough it would of made it more interesting, there was no doubt we was competitive as he still set the fastest lap of the race.
