4Laps left, Rossi just ahead, but the Ducati is still quicker on the straights.
Side by side throught the corners, until Rossi pulls ahead. Any of these front 3 can win it

Yeah, the last 9 laps were great!

Stoner 1st...
Rossi 2nd
Pedrosa 3rd


Thanks to the Ducatis out and out speed... Fair play to the young Aussie though, he held off Rossi well...

Great race again...

In Sweden a guy just die in a speedway race.

Stoner has all the credentials to become one of the greats, but wait until he has won a few Championships first. He is doing so well as he is on the fastest bike out there at the moment. Put him on Rossis Yamaha and see if he can still win races.

Next race is Sunday 24th June at Donington British GP Jonny. Looking forward to that. Are you hooked on the MotoGp racing now? It knocks F1 way down the list for entertainment IMO.

If you are interested, this website has some good info plus the calendar for this years races.

It`s easy to say that Stoner has the fastest bike.But his team mate,Capirossi has exactly the same bike and about 10 year`s experience on Stoner.He doesn`t seem to be able to get the same speed out of it as Stoner,although Barros has been able to at varios times this year.

Same same Colin Edwards, same Yamaha as Rossi, but can't get close to him?Ex World Superbike racer not in the same class as Moto GP riders.

Pedrosa and Hayden on the Hondas. Pedrosa far quicker and showing Hayden as the guy who won last years title to be nothing special at all. Won it on default, just picking up the points. What is Hayden doing this year?..........zilch. Wouldn't surprise me if Honda drop him for next season.

This years Moto GP has the makings of being one of the best ever. Stoner is proving a great rider, and showing Rossi he can race too.

Too bad Rossi suffered from bad tyres, but it's still close at the top.

Cant wait for the race this weekend. Starts from 6.pm onwards in Malaysia.

Stoner has surprised everyone,including himself.
As an Aussie and former Ducati racer myself,i am hoping he can build on what he has already done so far this season.
It`s not easy finishing in front of Rossi.
Just ask Sete Gibernau.
There hasn`t been anyone that can battle with and finish in front of Rossi since his early day`s in 500`s.
It is great entertainment.That`s what it`s all about.
