I wouldn't have called it dominant, he only won by around 1 second, and the Yamaha's, were only 3-4 seconds further back (I'm guessing that was probably copy and pasted, so not aimed at yourself)

He rode a good race though, and Dovi couldn't do anything in the end to even get close enough to challenge him.

They reckon Stoner was 0.3 seconds up on the testing day when he fell trying to put in a fast lap on a soft tyre. bearing in mind he'd not used the tyre previously at the test and hadn't pushed 100% in years, and bearly riden a motogp bike really. It makes you wonder what he could be doing on that bike this year if he was a full time rider.

Granted it's only one race win. but if he's 0.3 seconds a lap faster with next to no testing and no racing, what would he be able to do with a full winter test program after a couple of races. The Ducati hasn't been that far off this year at most racers, just needs a faster rider to push it up to the next level.

Don't think Lorenzo is the best rider to do that, but looking forward to seeing what happens next year.

Be good to see Stoner in as a wild card at some point this/next year.

Yeah it was copied, but i'd call it fair comment, as they did dominant the whole weekend really
It was theirs to lose

Lol imagine him in the rain, he is a chicken **** on the Yamaha, I don't like the bloke he has the personality of a tree stump. He might be good as a rider but as someone attract fans that's a no no.

Found this very interesting, well done Cal.

The only rider to score more points than Cal Crutchlow in the last eight races is newly crowned triple MotoGP champion Marc Marquez.

Crutchlow, who scored just 20 points in the opening eight races, has pulled in 121 points in the eight races since - including two race wins and four podiums.

Marquez has scored just seven points more than Crutchlow since Sachsenring.

The Englishman's victory last weekend at Phillip Island was the first dry win by a non-factory rider in MotoGP since 2006.
