Ive no doubt that rossi is a better rider than lorenzo , lorenzo has had the bike to do the job which makes him look invincible ... he's good but now rossi has the machinery im sure we will see him with a few wins . Rossi reeled them in from way back  Well done crutchlow and smith will no doubt learn a lot from that first outing 

[STMO123]

Did he catch crutchlow from riding bikes? Is it painful?

[BridgeyBoy]

Interesting to see how happy and fired up rossi was post race. He clearly still has the fire in the belly. If he is close to the front near the end, I would always bet on him to get the win. For me, he is the greatest of all time. Lorenzo should be worried! As for pedrosa, he will never win a GP champioship... Hasnt got the killer instinct at this level.

Rossi was brilliant and will only get better but I think Marquez will be the one to watch, oh and it looks like Pedrosa is still the Honda No2

Considering crutchlow was on a non factory bike he has done well and he will do well , but now rossi is back in the fold all of them will be wondering how the hell did he come to nearly falling off to coming second  Look out lorrenzo your time is over 
How come those honda's dont go round corners very well

Finally, a word on Crutchlow.
Rider of meeting IMO. Although it is slightly concerning how he ran off as Rosdi passed him. If your already the hardest late braker into turn one, these not much to be gained trying to brake harder and later still trying to keep Rossi at bay.

Still, at least it didn't cost him a position. Iirc?

Smith binned it.

Although its easy sitting here.

Have you seen the riders?......They're tiny. Even the fat bastards amongst their numbers only weigh the same as a packet of cheese and onion crisps.



Unlike some who ride bikes here at OOF.

Im full of admiration for Rossi,have been since his 125 days,but I think its a bit early to say Lorenzos time is over tbh. Rossi proved yesterday he hasnt lost it but Lorenzo is imo a class above the others,so that question remains unanswered for the moment.
I think it will be a fascinating battle when it happens.
Crutchlow unfortunately did what Crutchlow does - undeniably quick,but very little racecraft or intelligence.Which is why Imo he doesnt have all the attributes needed to e really top class rider at that level.He may win a race occassionally if hes lucky but I cant see him ever being a serious consistent title contender,even on a full works bike.I hope Im wrong though.
Bradley Smith must have a good manager and a lot of good contacts because I cant see any justification for him to be on a MotoGP bike at all,never mind one of the best bikes on the grid.
Imo, Scott Redding would have deserved it much more than Bradley tbh.

You can imagine what rossi was thinking with that ducati in front of him  eager to prove a point and get past  Must add that Qatar Circuit is one of the best 
20 years ago i would have beat Lorenzo on my RD250 air cooled

Yeah, me too Mr EMD.......but Young Lorenzo would only have been about 6 months old way back then.

Oh yes  Still give him a thrashing now if i could get my leg over , i think randy mamola is my age so he would have been my team mate back in the day when bikes were bikes with wooden frames

I always thought that Fast Freddie Spencer was a cut above back then. He had some epic battles with the old lion ( Kenny Roberts)
