Default and the MotoGP circus starts up again! Spoiler

great race, some good action out there.
I'm a big Edwards fan, and even though he didn't get podium it was awesome that he was up in the pack. I was alwasys a Rossi follower also, but I think that his bitchin about getting on Bridgestones may just kick him in the ass down the road. Even though Stoner did win on the same tires. Who knows.
With all these rookies doing so well, this may shape up to be an interesting season. Go Lorenzo! and watch out for Toselan when he gets the "good" engine for Estoril

Thumbs up

The Rookies were tearing up the track! it was great to see some new players doing so well. Toselan is going to one to watch when he gets the faster machine, the yamaha was the only thing keeping him back. Lorenzo looks like he's going to shake things up as well. Great race indead.

Why did Honda/Hayden choose to ride the '07 bike?

Personally, I dont think Nicky's riding style lends itself very well to the new 800's. He would probably do very well in World Superbike.

Rossi is facing the end of his domination. The new guys from 250gp are coming on strong and will take over the series...

True dat...These guys are picking up where Rossi left off. I still say he'll get one more championship then retire.

I am not so sure of that one Joe, might make an interesting bet, but the talent pool is pretty deep this season. Not saying Rossi is any kind of slouch, I think the new bikes are better suited to the pint sized 250GP guys that have been coming up the past couple of seasons.

I am just glad to be able to tune into some races again on TV. I hate winter...

Yep - Toseland was getting smoked on the straights but was right up with them in the corners.

But man did he bang into Jorge
