MOTOGP » Rossi picks off rivals for 'proud' win

Sandbagging he was, and he is the master and commander.
When he found a good pace in friday, he knew if he kept going faster and faster, like stoner does, one thing would happen, the others would be motivated to improve their settings.
So everybody is happy, everybody is in front of rossi, lorenzo on pole... just perfect.
Comes the race and he strikes again.

His declarations on saturday were "i cant win like this", made me remember lagauna "i have to shoot him blablabla...", just tipical.

with proper trackside commentary from toby and julian... hurrah

Credit to Belinda though I see the BBC is finally putting some Motogp coverage on the news website, three races in to the season granted but at last not just a crummy strapline after the race. I assume Belinda either had to threaten them or take their 'we love jesson' poster to get the website crew to devote 5mins away from Formula Dull.

Either he was sandbagging or not ... one of his team engineer did something to lorenzo's M1 ...

he say big huge thanks to JB for his M1 setting, so I guess above the doctor, there's the PROFESSOR (JB)

Congratz Vale ... you make it look easy today, unlike motegi and qatar.

Sandbagging?It's more like playing a good hand of Poker.Rossi opened the hand on Friday,everyone raised the pot on Saturday(showed their cards)and The Doctor trumped them all on Sunday...read'em and weep..
"THE DOCTOR IS IN"

Since people are mentioning Eurosport... 2 massive improvements this year... they're finally broadcasting the races in Widescreen, and during the race there were no commercials! Just get Randy back guys and it'll be perfect!

Great to see Vale do the old mobile toilet joke again lol
We are not worthy, Oh yellow one

He is telling the truth. There was no sandbagging. Rossi always perform so bad with Brigdestone qualifier last year. So I wasn't surprised seeing Rossi to start race in second row or third row.

To me, it's Stoner (with his Ducati's new carbon fiber etc etc) who did sandbagging. He was so fast on last IRTA Jerez, right?

So it was unexpected for me to see Rossi win today. but he won. so, once again congratulations, #46.

Forget Rossi, Pedrosa or Stoner.
Performance of the day was from DePuniet. Customer Honda, single man team, no special parts, and 4th. Nice one six-pack man! And boy, does he have the best brolly girls!

No, forget De Puniet. Performance of the day was from Melandri.

Casey might not have won but excellent to see an Aussie win anyway. Great job Jeremy Burgess, you gave the others a master class yet again. Forget Hondas, Suzukis, Ducatis ... if there was a bike called a Burgess we'd all buy one.

Oh good job Rossi too

someone said something about eurosport, while its good its back, they should show the GP race live, cs on BBC they show it while on eurosport its aired later. did anyone watch the BBCs coverage? what did rossi say about how fast he went? did he say they were F..... fast'? cs i thought he did and i watched the BBC interview again on the internet and they had edited that bit out. just curious, he rode a great race, the old portaloo never gets old, i love him. Well done to depuniet and melandri, esp. melandri showing ducati he can rideeLoveyous
