I am so proud that Dovi is learning to complain properly prior to his arrival at Repsol. Rossi still has not learned.
Nice riding JayTee , but please pull over when Repsol riders pull in behind you.

What about Dovi's dive up the inside into turn one towards the end when he pushed JT wide into Lorenzo. I would of thought that was also A little dangerous???

Dovi should go to F1, they don't overtake there and get penalties if they do.

Dont know why everyone is concentrating on Dovi complaining, I think it's more important to say what a great job Toseland did. Amazing ride, especially the fight with Rossi. Hopefully that will give him the confidence to finish the season just as strongly. Well done James.

To reiterate whats been said on here in the past, its racing not knitting. Just because dovi's repsol bound doesn't give him ownership of the track. If you get passed by a strong challenge get back in there and show whose boss, moaning will change nothing. Great ride by JT

I think the "Warning Motorsport Can Be Dangerous" signs need to be printed in several languages! wish some of these guys would grow up... They will all pull moves like that so expect them in return!
James at times seemed to be holding everyone up but that's racing, and he got back at Valentino a couple of times. He's had a pretty good first season: he's been unlucky with the tires at a few tracks he could have done well at otherwise. He might get on the podium next year, I hope so. I thought he might this year to be honest, at Donnington and Laguna but it wasn't to be. He was worth a bet though for sure.
The battle for fourth place was truly excellent and all the riders should be proud of the way they handled themselves. As for Dovi's complaint, everyone is entitled to a moan every now and then, so long as it doesn't turn into a habit. With his talent, I believe that he won't be doing much moaning in the future.

Toselands ride for me was one of the best rides i've ever seen him do, and to stick back to Rossi, not once, but two and three times had me jumping off the sofa, whooping it up like a crazed loon.
The lad rode like we've been expecting him to ride, anyone who saw him take it to Bayliss in WSB last year will know his riding today was how he usually rides when all is right with the bike, pity about another 6th place, but i think today the position was academic, it was the style and composure of the way he rode that will be remembered for a good while.
C'mon, when was the last time you saw somebody do to Rossi, what Rossi usually does to others?
I wonder how Dovi would like to race against Harga, and Baylisstic not to mention Xaus, the teddy would get thrown out of the pram, if he thinks JT is dangerous.

Incredible riding by the top seven. Also 1st to 7th covered by 12 seconds - I think that makes it the most competitive race we've had. Re Dovis daft comments - everyone was a bit dangerous - it's allways a bit dangerous going round a corner at 160mph. Rossi was the most dangerous because nearly crashed more times than anyone else, but the fact he didn't proved his incredible talent.
Melandri 3 seconds a lap slower than Stoner. I see no reson why he'll get any faster on the pos Kawasaki. Good to see Hayden has got his mojo back.

Great ride James. Makes you wonder how he would have got on if he had Rossi's engine!!! Did you notice the difference in speed down the main straight between Valintino's and James Yamaha? I thought they were running the same engines. That wasn't just slip streaming that was BHP talking there.

Rossi top speed during race 320.5 kph Toseland top speed during race 319.9 kph
Toseland average top speed 314.21 kph Rossi average top speed 317.75 kph
Not a massive difference but if you look at Rossi's top speeds, especially his last 7 laps they are incredibly consistent. He was by himself and JT was battling... I don't think that Tech 3 are that far behind really. JT will get a podium next season! he did really well today, hopefully he can carry that kind of form to the end of the season and into next!
I have genuinely been impressed by Dovi this year, he has shown complete dignity, consistancy and form so I'm going to overlook that complaint 'cause I really want to keep liking him
Just watched the race again... Best moment, and one that made you suck in your breath in amazement, was 3 laps from the end... Toseland, Lorenzo and Dovi side by side breaking into the first corner, allof em in the zone, no fear at all from any of 'em... Jeez these are commited men! Hats off to all of 'em!

Tokehashi Wakibakki - I think Dovi is a likable character, hes not renowned for his whinging, and lets face it with the bike hes been on hes done incredibly well!
Let Dovi watch a few races from the Irish Road racing scene and then he would know what hard racing is. Just because you have signed for a cash rich factory team (who have won less races since Rossi left than Rossi did in his first year with Yamaha) does not mean non factory riders must allow you pass. Rossi did not complain about Toselands passing. Dovi "wake up and smell the coffee" if you want to win or be placed near the top then hard overtaking is waht it is all about. You don't see Jonny Rea winging after Sunday.
