MOTOGP » Pedrosa takes home Valencia glory

There you go boys and girls. I predicted yesterday;

"If Pedrosa is running in second, then Stoner will let him through to win.
Stoner doesn't need the win, and the glee in the Ducati camp (after all the bull from Rossi and his fans towards Casey this year) to see Rossi denied the runner-up spot would be massive.
Go Dani - you have a red guardian angel helping you tomorrow!"

And it happened didn't it? Stoner looked remarkably happy with coming second, happier than any other time in the season when he hadn't won. Interesting that he also got a pit-board signal saying 'Rossi out'.

What a total humiliation for Rossi, having to rely on Stoner to try and salvage 2nd place in the championship.
And Michelin proves it is still very competitive, just as Rossi chooses to jump ship!

All in all, a perfect day. Ha Ha Ha. Ha Ha Ha. HA HA HA HA HA.

He couldn't match the pace of Pedrosa, shape of things to come my friend.
Next year it will be a different picture
Congratulations to Pedrosa, feel sorry for Rossi,
at least he went out and tried, the Spanish spectators even stood up and cheered him on for that!

Well done Danny, an excellent performance.
With Michelin getting their act together now, this will be the battle for the championship in 2008 ... Stoner and Pedrosa knocking spots off each other as they did in 250's. Can't wait!

Depends how you look at Frankie. You could also say that when Casey was passed on the straight for virtually the first time this season, he couldn't retaliate.

I think Dani will win the championship next year.

Humiliation for Rossi?????? I think not somehow. Anyone who rides any bike (bet not many of you do) will know how fcuking hard it would be to ride a 210BHP bike with 3 broken bones in your right hand!. The same hand that must pull the front brake too!.... He'd have got the point he needed despite the injuries, but his piss poor yam let him down. He'd never rely on Stoner, & if he's anything he's not humiliated. It's only the first time in 11 years he's not been in the top 2 of whatever he's competed in!

Next year won't be a repeat of this year thats for sure..... He'll learn from his mistakes & the team will correct alot of the bikes issues & all will be much more equal next season.

I wonder how many of us actually believe Rossi can come back on Bridgestones ... ?

Frankie, these guys are professionals, and not "Dallas-soup-opera-stars", colaborating against each other... This race was won by Dani alone!
But at one point I agree with U: what a perfect day it is : first Talmacsi won the 125cc title of 2007, and later Dani P won the MotoGP race!!! Yeah, I also hope for Dani winning next year's champs!!! ¡Ánimo, Daniiiii!!!!!

I do Alec, if they stick a decent engine in his Yamaha

Being a Pedrosa fan, I'm really happy for his win today!
What a great race of his!!

He has proven what a great ridert he is, even not having the best bike he is up there...

Dani seems to have found some tyres the others haven't...

I agree with the ones who say "Dani to win next year championship"... I hope so too!

Animo Dani! Tu puedes!!

Keep grasping at the straws Rossi groupies.
Runner-up last year.
Third this year.
Fourth or fifth next year (if he's lucky).
Dream on if you think he has any chance of regaining the championship in 2008 or any other year.
