Laguna Seca-MotoGp (Spoiler)
 
All I can say is DAMN, what a race. Incredible pace by Rossi and Stoner, Made he rest of the pack look like they weren't there.
Even with dropping the bike, Stoner managed to keep 2nd place.
Spies finished 8th, ahead of Edwards which was amazing in and of itself. Looks like Spies will replace Capirossi if he retires at the end of this season.

Best race this season.
Ken

And that highside from Lorenzo...damn

What an amazing day of racing...MotoGP had me at the edge of my seat...reminded me of the Rossi / Gibernau battle few years back. Stoner is a lil upset it seems :roll:

Congratz to Bayliss for the back to back wins taking him to 500 wins...class act that guy is.

It was pretty exciting. Congrats to Rossi!!!

Ben Spies came in 8th
Jamie Hacking came in 11th

Breathtaking racing..... Rossi is KING!!! ... Stoner was brilliant too... until he acted like a little whiney Biotch after the race.

Still I predict trouble for everyone else after this track... longer straitaways and the speed of the Duc will spell trouble for all ... Except Stoner

I was having a wonderful time watching the race UNTIL they showed Hacking in the race. Please don't tell me there is potential in the near future for him to run MotoGP. Cletus Roberts was bad enough w/ his crybaby antics, i couldn't imagine the harm Hacking would to to the US's public relations. Spies on the other hand...Bravo.

I doubt it if Hacking would be able to grab a seat, remember last year they allowed more US AMA riders to sample the bikes at Laguna with nobody getting a permanent seat afterwards.

+1 Spectacular show.

Stoner got nothing to complain about, did you see the finish of the Red bull rookie race, there was so serious fighting there.

Hell yeah.... that was some of the best racing of the day... 1st and second place difference was .001 of a second?:doh:

I return from out of town and my DVR tapes nothing!!?? WTF? I had AMA and SBK but no MotoGP! I don't get it? Do you think it was because it wasn't on Speed? (Was it on Speed?)
I wonder if they'll replay it...makes me furious.

It was on CBS, probably titled differently in the programing?

My DVR is set to record all AMA and Motogp events on all channels but this was listed under "Motorcycle racing" so I had to manually set it.
