Yes...The trouble is that when you ride with serious injuries, the chances of doing even worse to yourself increases dramatically.

This week will be a real battle between Pedrosa (he was fastest today)........ and my favourite for the title Lorenzo........ They will both be out their for a home win !!!!!

............. But "The Doctor" will be in the middle of the podium!!!!!!

Cheers To All

I understood why he rode in the race before last because he was in 2nd in the championship and could have done with the points. But, really, he needs time off. He ankles are going to be shot if he keeps going at this pace.

Althought, if your team-mate is 'The Doctor' you have to keep the pace up

Final Qualifying

1. Stoner
2. Pedrosa
3. Hayden
4. De Puniet
5. Edwards
6. Toseland
7. Dovi
8. Vermeulen
9. Rossi

Lorenzo not taking any further part this weekend, After yesterdays off he thought he was in China

Anyone see the crash in the 125cc Quali? I think that guy got his clock cleaned by his bike *ouch*

I think Stoner looks strong for this race, but, no counting out Dani. I think Rossi (even from 9th) is in with a shout.

I would like to see Randy win

1. Pedrosa
2. Rossi from 9th
3. Stoner
4. Dovi
5. Edwards
6. Toseland
7. Vermeulen
8. Hayden
9. Nakano

Rossi now leads the Championship by 7 points from Pedrosa

I didn't see Pedrosa doing this today

He was strong in the beginning of other races, but, he just flew off today and left them all for dust!

I felt sorry for De Puniet, he was having a good weekend.

Nice to see Dovi up with the front runners too

Was a great race!

Bring on Donnington!

Another great race

Ankles.....forget ankels he's going to kill himself if he doesn't stop crashing. Stoner steadied the ship after a few falls so hopefully Lorenzo can too

anyone going to donnington?

Pedrosa had a blinding race, and all credit to him ............... But Rossi had to be the star of the race.........

In the interview afterwards he said "I love to have a battle with little Casey"

I bet the Australian loved that !!!

Shame Lorenzo couldn't race he would have given it everything on his home turf.......
