The duke seemed to have a major HP advantage. He was absolutely smokin the field down the main straight. Thinking it mayeb gave him a chance to go easy through the twisty bits. Set the new lap record on his last lap!!!!

Pedrosa's Honda had some boogie down the straight as well, but he couldn't outbrake Rossi... Then he made a mistake and fell away.

umm, did anyone see the race last night?

Best battle I've seen between stoner and Rossi....Some awsome passing and stoner won fair and square, sure the duke had the grunt on the straight but not as much as rossi would like to think, the Yamaha wasn't slow....

Awsome win for Casey..

Best race I have seen in ages. Immense pressure on Stoner by Rossi for last 3rd of the race. Lots of very tight but clean over taking. Stoner held up very well, and claimed victory in the end. Not bad for 21 years of age....

The duke has some massive grunt .... enough to negate Rossi's abilities and those of his bike...

Who backed it up by watching the F1?

I did then got up for work at 6am... after my holidays, my body clock feels like its been molested by Tiny Pinder!

so much pressure hey Blaise, I was almost sure stoner would fold....(haha, Biaggi always use to lose the front end!!)

hows Rossi's comments after the race, "Good race, lots of positives, got to see where we need to improve, the season is long."

14 point advantage is useful for Stoner atm too..

If Rossi's bike finds that power they are lacking he is going to be deadly.

Red herring, the Yamaha isn't t"that" far behind the duke...

Will be interesting though...
