Anyone watch he MotoGP china GP on channel Ten last night (early morning)?
The Shanghai circuit looks very well designed, very impressive venue. There was rainfall throught the whole race, so you could say the track wasn't taken to it's full potetial, but it was entertaining anyways  Rossi won the race with Jacque at second. Rossi is now way ahead of the pack at 70 world championship points. Second is Melandri at 45 points. It was also great to see our own Aussie, Casey Stoner win the 250cc!! Nicely done! He's the first Australian to take back-to-back 250cc wins! The 125cc event was not as aggressive as usual, but still kept me on the edge of my seat - right to the end. Pasini amazingly grabbed the lead from Lai pretty much right on the finish line. Lai would've been ****ed  :Anyways, great to see the new Chinese circuit!! V8 Supercars will be racing there early June

Well done to Casey, I think Greg Hansford won back to back 250's races, but I may be wrong

yep you are right Hansford did something like 20yrs or more ago.....
Top stuff Casey another Aussie doing great on 2wheels. Rossi is unbelievable ! He'll sew up the title by half distance I reckon.... Top ride by Jacque after being out for a while.... Honda must be spewing,they have half the grid and the Yamaha wins again and of all things a Kawasaki gets second. Great to watch.

Stoner did very well. In the last 2 races, he's shown a lot of maturity and handled the pressure well. If he can get his starts right......
Rossi still seems to be a level above anyone else. I doubt theres a rider there this year who's going to seriously challenge him. Jacque's ride was probably the best of his career. Would've been nice if he could've gotten around Sete a few laps sooner and put some pressure on Rossi. |
