250: Bautista wins - Pasini, Kallio scares.

Excellent race by Bautista! *applause*
Really a dominant win once again in Estoril.

Nice move afterwards also by Aoyama and Pasini after their little collision. The gentlemen behaviour seems to take over the 250cc class. ;)

Except for Simoncelli ; his move to prevent Kallio from passing was highly dangerous and, should Kallio's brake lever have hit Simoncelli's bike or ass, the poor Finn would have been sent flying high in the air at 150mph. Really an unfair and rechless maneuver from the hairy Italian.

Simoncelli?

Brave? Dirty? Dangereous? Crazy? New Rossi? etc.

Come on guys, of course he is amazing driver but it seems that his bike is not sufficient for his effort which means he has to show himself in a better bike but in some different styles?



He could apologize from Kallio in front of press fairly!!!

great alvaro!but i prefer kallio hit simoncelli's ass and go down the italian rider,marco is totally mad,turn right,turn left on finish line..under your massive hair totally empty..

Mika did the work as Bartol said before race.

MK is marked also in MotoGP factory teams. Ducati manager Suppo has said that Kallio has done good work and Ducati has interested in Kallio. ... 2009 in MotoGP with Stoner... ;)

One funny coincidence regarding Mika: The last Finn to have clinched a world ttiel in Road Racing (and the only one actually) was Jarno Saarinen, in the same 250cc category, and it was in 1972...

You don't see what I mean ? Well, just calculate how many years ago this was, and then remember which race number Mika carries... :-)

Okay! Great! Absolutely good sign

Good luck to MK to the 2008 250's title and then next year 2009 to MotoGP !!

I dont think kallio will win the 250 title, bautista looks strong and if he can stay on the bike he'll win it.

Pasini had a bad race, had he not got knocked off, he would have scored some points atleast.

as for simoncelli's move, has anyone realised these bikes dont have mirrors, what if he didnt see kallio coming?

Look how he got up and apologised to bautista at jerez. when he thought it was his own doing that knocked them both off.

The bloke isnt a dirty rider, and if u watch the bikes come down the straight, they move towards the pit wall, then back out, he was taking the line the bikes take every lap.

Yes, kallio was unlucky, but he didnt need to slipstreem on the straight...

...

kallio had got such good drive onto the straight he would have passed him anyway.

Yes, he was unlucky, yes, it was a bit dangerous, but no one said anything about de angelis at turkey a few years ago, when he got sent flying at 160-180mph but somehow the bike stayed upright.

It was a racing incident, no one got hurt and they both still finished.

Move on to the next round!

Aprilia is much faster than KTM. If KTM can solve that "early laps" problem and keep it together MK will win WC!! If's are in bike side not rider.

Wow, that was a lot of excitement in that race, other than Bautista running off from the group like a scared rabbit! Will he win the title this year??

Thank the stars Pasini did not get seriously injured....he is my favorite 250 rider, i was over the moon when he won the first race!! Cannot WAIT to see him on an 800cc bike....I'm placing my money on him showing up on a Ducati

Bring on the next round!!
