Rossi was a star ! But I agree once he got the lead the excitement went. I think moto gp doesnt look as close as it has in the past few years.

MotoGP has been a real letdown in the past few years I reckon. The switch to 800 4-strokes didn't benefit the sport at all. Should have stuck with the 990s or even the 500 2-strokes!

I also think that MotoGP might be suffering from a lack of top notch talent. Only Stoner and Rossi stick out as great talent (not taking anything away from the Lorenzos and the Pedrosas of the grid, but they cant hack it week in week out like CS and VR can do). Yet I can only think of two great battles between them - Spain 07 and US 08. Compare that to the Gibernau Rossi days on the 990s and it doesn't come out too great...

They should let him go out on a Moto GP bike on his own, then we might get rid of him.

bad taste i know!

Stoner didn't look all good in Spain, Rossi al the way! OI,OI

[Jamie]

Bad look for Rossi! Lorenzo though? Cor Blimey.

[EwanM]

Melandri's podium was also awesome

Lorenzo is a bit special, I think FIAT Yamaha have the two best riders in Moto GP atm

I dunno, 2 of the 3 i'd say. Stoner is up there.

See I'm in the anti-Stoner brigade. I think as long as he is on a Ducatti that no-one else seems to be able to ride, he looks amazing but get him on a Yamaha next to Rossi and Lorenzo, he would look a bit more average

Well he did like his falling in the 250 days, and rediscovered some of that last year.

But his duel with Rossi last year (especially Laguna before the fall) and his dominant season before last, proves he has what it takes. Maybe the Ducatti is only suited to him, but it was the same really when Rossi was at Honda.

Lorenzo is one of those guys, quick, but has a tendency to slide of the track. Personally I thought that was one hell of a ride on Sunday.

The championship for Moto GP looks brilliant right now, considering that all 4 top riders have a clear shot at the title this year. Surely it's gonna be one hell of a year.

[Gilles 27]

Yeh the title race looks wide open! Rossi has proved he can be fast on other bikes too though since joining Yamaha. If Stoner moved and still did well, i would probably change my mind about him

[Jamie]

If stoners up there were was he on Sunday? Rossi though? Lorenzo though! he was amazing! was disappointed with Nicky Hayden though

Seems Stoner is the only bloke that can ride that Ducati
