MotoGP Laguna Seca 08 - No Spoilers in OP -

Lorenzo is goingfrom hero to zero atm. As has been said, if you listen to the bikes cornering, you can hear the throttle being regulated as they gun it through the corners. Stoner was pretty bitter and tbh if he watches it all back he'll be embaressed by his behaviour. It kind ofgoes back to schumacher in his last few years. Electronics...specifically Renault's unbelieveable launch control, leveled the ability of the drivers.

Rarely watch MotoGP, but I'm glad I watched this on iPlayer. Really entertaining battle for 1st place.

Exactly what I did

The commentators on BBC2 are so dull, although they have more in-depth build up.

Cant beleive Eurosport lost coverage to BBC for next season thanks Dorna.

Great pic that how rossi didnt come off i dont know, or hit stoner on way back, like rossis said, even the gravel had good grip, unless it was on stoners off corner

Biggest crime possible in my opinion. Moody and Ryder are the only commentators for MotoGP.

Nope he wasnt: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/7516543.stm

Rossi: "Great race."
Stoner: "No, you can't race this way."
Rossi: "That's racing, Casey."
Stoner: "That's racing? Ok, we'll see."

I would love to see Stoner on the early 990's or even the 500's. Didnt he crash most of his first season on the 990's? then suddenly he's unstoppable.

Lol is that Tom Cruise patting him on the back at the beginning?.

Are they going to move to commentate on BBC by any chance?

PS: love that picture, touge

Gibernau wasn't happy before, another great race though.

They need to get back to sliding, was good to watch.

Hmm, tough one as then the BSB would lose that pairing. It's bad enough with the two we've ended up with on WSBK now when the meetings clash.

he`s like a lot of riders that can go well when there on there own, but cant mix it
he should have been around in the 90`s with rainy/Schwantz and doohan and co
as Rossi said they didn't touch so whats the problem
its racing not tiggly winks
