Well my pulse was through the roof!  :D

Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.

Awesome racing  8)

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

It was amazing,will never forget watching it on the tele


Hope Sundays race at Silverstone is as good, not the anticlimax for the brits like last week.where Pedrosa was a follower, not a challenger

Simply magnificent..duelling titans. Even though I knew the result, my hands were wringing and was on the edge of my seat watching that again.

I'm glad to see Rossi is getting his confidence back after the Simoncelli crash.

The BSB showdown between Tommy Hill and Hopkins was awesome too, I was in the stands as they came over the line, the whole season came down to 1/2 a wheel length :D

Rossi at his old time best. No question. Be nice to see him fighting again like that but i'm thinking the game has changed significantly now and the top 3 are in another league. I've never wanted to be proven wrong so much in my life. COME ON ROSSI !!!
Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???

I don't know about you, but I think Rossi is a legend just to be able to keep going after Simoncelli died, he was supposed to be like a brother to him, and to actually be involved..I can't imagine how he must have felt. To be getting back up towards podium level after a knock like that takes guts. I had enough trouble getting back on a bike after a small spill - no-one injured.

What an awesomely, brilliantly, astonishingly great rider.  Fcuking legend.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

I recall it caused a bit of a stir first time round.
