So this weekend will pay a major factor not only in the championship! But also the respect Rossi can still expect? It started of quit well with a few names just popping up here and there, but by the 45 Minute mark Jorge Lorenzo with an awesome 1:42:797! Then while the Qualifying zooms by the times start to plummet hit the 19 Minute mark, the riders have to hit down hard! Get there heads down and do a real time, Rossi shoots a real flyer with a 1:42:580! Then Casey really tries to show them what he’s made off, he only posts up to 2nd, which was not in the Ducati riders diary. It hit’s the 13 minute mark, Jorge is pushing harder than ever before, but then a rider gets in the way? Jorge Pulls back and lets him pass, then he builds a few seconds and pushes! After he passes the line he gets a nice 1:42:327! Rossi sees a new challenge, it comes down to the last lap Rossi posts an okay time, and then Lorenzo posts a flyer! 13,000’s of a second faster!
The Spaniard has Pole position!



Race DayRace Start Up;
It seemed to be an awesome day, the weather was hot and the sun was beating down hard on the track, you can feel the slightest breeze and Jorge seemed set for his 3rd win, all he has to do is keep his head straight and set on the top spot, But if only it was that easy, With The commentators going round interviewing the riders, Casey shows he is not happy with the warm up this morning, and the warm up lap commenced. The riders get in place, the lights; light up, the riders Go-GO-Go! The riders head down to the first corner, oh Yes Jorge Lorenzo has shot up, and is leading the pack, Pedrosa has not done a good job at the beginning, Jorge has done a fantastic job by pulling away!
Review;
Jorge does a fantastic job this race by keeping his cool! He did a real professional job but unfortunately did not secure the win. The last lap was mouth-watering action through lap 16 down to the last lap the 2 FIAT YAMAHA riders really put on a good show, but this was expected from Rossi! Jorge did a fantastic job but Casey stoner didn’t really win my points today, he didn’t come up to scratch and didn’t post much of a challenge! Dani Pedrosa did a fantastic job? His injuries and he still has the soul to put together a fantastic race result! Valentino still proves he has a good bike and is still the man of Moto GP, but with the race wins equal between the 3 this proves this Moto GP season has got even better! This proves to the BBC and sporting enthusiasts all over the world that Moto GP is proving allot better this season! The race was fantastic with real spirit. The real funny point was the crew in the garage! I really wish I could of seen the “Lorenzo’s Land” winning celebration!


R.O.T.RThe VB Rider Of The Race is split between Pedrosa & Lorenzo, But with the pressure and the challenge from Valentino, the choice has to be Jorge Lorenzo, he really built up a fantastic lead and showed to the public he’s a new man, a mature rider with a real sporting edge, he pulled away and had a few hick ups, but this is his only 2nd season and he is team mates to Valentino Rossi? Classed as the greatest rider in the world! So he really is pulling his weight and picked up a nice handful of points to equal the championship, Yamaha really need to get their cheque ready! With his wages being a Pocket full of $3 Million dollars compared to Rossi’s $53 Million, they might need to give the Spaniard a nice little $25 Million just to keep Gorgeous George Happy



Standings;
In the end the standings look like this all the top 3 riders are all drawing on the points so the next round at the Netherlands (Alice TT Assen) will be crucial as who wins that round will be the main man to beat and could get a nice little getaway.I have a feeling the 2 Yamaha boys will be racing this one down to the wire, but as you all know, and can guess? my vote will be most certainly with Gorgeous George, with the Constructors i have a golden feeling that Yamaha boys will have this one in the bag.
Now with the standings being drawn right down the line, Casey got a nice handful of points today to keep him up there with Jorge getting 20 points and Rossi 25 points today. There's no doubt next race will prove even better.
1st - Jorge Lorenzo 106 Pts
2nd - Valentino Rossi 106Pts
3rd - Casey Stoner 106Pts



With Yamaha flying away with the point's it really seems they and Brawn Gp have a few things in common with 4 wins under there belt already this season, they really are flying way with this one. Nicky Hayden isn't pulling his weight. In which is causing this, but Honda not having a successful season! I think the F.I.M can start inscribing that trophy and mail it to David Brivio for Christmas
1st - FIAT YAMAHA 115Pts
2nd - Ducati 90 Pts
3rd - Honda 76 Pts
