History suggests Rossi will win at Phillip Island. Pedrosa must have had a bit of deja vu this in practise today, nearly coming off the bike in the same place where he broke his legs a few years ago

Did you see Melandri coming through the last corner smoking it one handed...

That was so cool

We saw a tactical race today , with Hayden getting out of jail free once again.

Rossi really laid it on the line on the last lap to create a gap between him and Hayden.

Poor old Sete must have been so pi$$ed off to see that Yam coming through on the very last corner , he was probably in the middle of composing his return to the podium speach

I think thats the sort of thing you have to be born to do. 160kg bike with 250+bhp doing that I don't think can be taught.

That was awesome on many levels.

It was great watching Rossi sizing the wet spec bike up for 2-3 laps to see what he could do with it, then going flat out. The guy really is something else.

Was it me or was Rossi giving Giblets a bit of a look as he flew past. I bet he was absolutely seething, I doubt he would have known much about it, plus there is no love lost there

Melandri was nuts for doing that over the last corner I bet he's had a talking to Reminds me of when Randy Mamola did something similarly naughty once

Great race.
