FINALLY got around to watching the race. It was good by way of the fact that Ben won! Great to see him snatch his first victory of many. He walked away from the pack and it was great to see. Of course Stoner was crying about the Bridgestones not warming up -no excuses mate!

Can’t wait to cheer Ben on at Laguna Seca and Brno!

Yes but not as fast as Troy Bayliss! 1 race, 1 win.

Seriously its a pretty reasonable effort from Mr Spies – hopefully he can push on and win a few more races.

Next race in Mugello. Simoncelli is going to be really pumped up. Better for the rest of the field to let him in front initially so he can crash on his own and then get on with the race.

This will be the first of many! That was a fast trip to the top of the podium. Less than a year and a half! Well done1

You need to watch the post-race press conferrence video at Assen.
Stoner was asked if he thought Bridgestone were doing enough as far as providing tires, his answer was, “No.”, and that he felt the tires were better in 2008.
He went on to explain that the riders feel changes have to be made, specifically to how long they take to warm-up.

Your theory would have better creditability if Simoncelli didn’t have a knack for qualifying on the first row all the time. The guy has talent just need to settle his nerves down.

Great to see the new guard taking over MotoGP. Love Spies’ smooth riding style like I loved Mladin’s style and love Max Biaggi’s riding style. Clean and smooth.

I think my TV is broken and showing the wrong race – Stoner took Dovi in the 2nd lap and beat him by 20 seconds whilst riding to conserve the championship. Said in the post race his tyres were so cold after following Dovi he had to start trying to put heat into them – not the greatest of things to say about your team mate!
