Looks like C. Stoner is going to extend his lead in the championship race. He lead the whole race by quite a bit. Looks like Rossi was having a bad weekend. I like how MotoGP and other motorcycle races are fairly short and don't put you to sleep.

It wasn't the most exciting race, that's for sure. But I agree, short and sweet.

Casey is going to make a great champion. He's matured so much and is well composed and humble. Not to mention absolutly dominant! That Ducati is VERY fast and he's got the skills to match. He's signed on 'till '09. Watch the Aussie fans when he races at the Island. They'll go nuts!

Nice to see Hopper get a 2nd (his best MotoGP result yet). It will be interesting to see how well he'll do next year with Kawasaki.

7th??? This is definitely NOT Vale's year. I understand the Italian press have been giving him a hard time. How fickle. And Edwards out early means a bad day for FIAT Yamaha.

I couldn't help but think this is going to be Capirossi's last year in MotoGP, only to find out he'll be with Rizzla Suzuki next year!

Haha , why don't you reveal the name of the series you're comparing it too...

Casey is clearly on fire. His level of skill, control and as you already mentioned character, make him a tough opponent to beat. I doubt Vale will be able to take away the title from him. He's always good for a surprise, but I'm sure Casey can make it to the title

I'm totally awestruck when I watch his performance this year. It's simply amazing. At 21!! And wins by huge margins, many of them.

I would really like to know what Vale is truly thinking. Is he frustrated, upset... Relieved???. Only he knows whether or not he's into it, or at, 100% It's a little sad to watch him not make a podium

the race was not so full of excitement and thrill as it is always.there is another reason for this because Rossi was just struggling like a newbie whereas C.Stoner leaded the whole race.its a one man game.
