No. It's just that the extra 5 points weren't worth the potential disaster. Earlier in the year, Rossi would have gone for the win to teach Stoner a lesson as much as anything. But today it wasn't worth it. What was amazing was just how fast the two of them were going all race long. -- Julian Bond E&MSN: julian_bond at voidstar.com M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ skype:julian.bond?chat Dermatologist Tested

Even Pedrosa as the third had a huge gap to the lead. The german commentator on eurosport said, last year nine riders fit into a 22s gap. Beside this, I think Stoner has this year a clear demonstration where he really stands, so he better shut up for next season. I still have his words in my ears how good he will be, and that Rossi's time is over...

I don't think Rossi could have passed Stoner - every time he made a move it put him on a very bad line for the exit. This, in a race where Bridgestone farked up by bringing two sets of tires that assumed temperatures that were 20 deg (F) warmer than what they were. The front two were sliding quite a bit. |
