Second race in a row, Stoner had crashed his bike out of the race. Lorenzo had a strong race coming in second place, just over 3 seconds behind Rossi. Pedrosa got 4th and is now 2 points behind Stoner, but the big surprise is that for the rest of the season he is switching from Michelin tires to Bridgestone.

Yeah, I saw the race and I just don't like Casey Stoner. Rossi, Lorenzo and Pedrosa yeah! I want to watch Pedrosa upcoming race Indy. I think Pedrosa will smoke Stoner in this race.

Rossi is the Iceman and the Schumacher of MotoGP. That race at Laguna Seca was incredible...he rode on the bleeding edge and just forced Stoner to crack, eventually. Amazing.

Stoner was pulling too hard ahead of Rossi.

Iceman? Kimi is driving for sh*t these days. Rossi is so easy-going and jocular. You just have to like him. Want to see more MotoGP behind-the-scenes? Rent or buy the DVD "Faster."

Vale is GOD.
He is the GREATEST racer in earths history. End of discussion.

The numbers dont lie

In Italy 56 % of the people will answer i dont know who he is to a picture of the Pope, The Chin or the I like Ice in my Vodka Man.
On the other hand an unborn featus will kick Vale, Vale in morris code from inside Momma at an image of "The Doctor".


The Doctor's 2008 Mugello GP Helmet. You must be GOD to Wear Such a crown!!!

Iceman in action, not in spirit. He's f'ing COLD and unshakeable when he's on a bike. He's a machine. Not mortal.

serious his mugello helmet is awesome!! The Laguna Seca race was an amazing dog fight. The last two races were weird. I guess Stoner can't handle the pressure, cuz in the Czech GP Rossi gained .3 secs on stoner and later in that lap Stoner crashes out. I am guessing the same thing happened, but eurosport didn't show the gap between Rossi and Stoner the lap Stoner crashed on. Now it will be interesting to see Pedrosa on Bridgestones. In other words, he will no doubt about it be using the same tires as both Rossi and Stoner. This stretch to the end of the season will be fun to watch, but I think I am seeing number 8 for Rossi.

Keep in mind that Stoner's hand is injured, that could be part of the reason for him crashing.
