"To all of you that think this is easy why dont­ you go­ and have a try" - From lesliehayden1, on­ Sun 17 May 11:18PM

Maybe if you tell hubby to stop­ saying 'you know', 'sort of' and­ 'pinching pinching' he may not get criticised­ so much. Occasionally he does have a decent point to­ make but uses two or three times the number of words­ necessary (eg "and, ya know, here where see, ya­ know, sort of 'insert rider name', pinching­ pinching'")

On the subject of commentary, why­ has Julian Ryder decided to drop his T's this year?­ COMPETITIVE HAS TWO T's NOT ONE!!!! Almost annoying­ as Mr Hayden's y'know.

as everyone's said, great day for Marco! so well­ deserved after last season.
Kawasaki should be well­ pleased for him but for reasons mostly to do with­ money, they probably wont offer him any support this­ year..Congrats to Lorenzo..fast all weekend.
Rossi­ admitted he'd made a mistake coming in too early­ but it makes Champinship so open now..As a Rossi fan­ myself, i dont want to see anyone running away with­ Championship..its more interesting like this!!
BRING ON­ MUGELLO!!

I like Carlton - when he commentates on the Dakar (or­ whatever it is now called) but Hayden's brain­ doesn't operate his mouth fast enough to commentate­ on a race. Julian & Toby may have their annoying­ moments but they are genuinely interested &­ therefore passionate. It's a shame their­ contractual obligations take them away - it's the­ interesting/technical races that they are certainly the­ most missed.

I enjoyed the race, not for it's­ competitive spirit, but it tested the wet race­ technicalities of the sport out for sure. It just­ shows that in rain anyone can do anything - including­ Rossi but also Lorenzo and most certainly Melandri. ­ You have to be in it, to win it.

Go Marco! Come on Kawasaki get behind this team - it;s­ an absolute disgrace if you don't start putting­ some time/money into developing what is onbviously a­ pretty good bike with a great rider on it. shame on you­ Kawasaki

Hey kaveiros75, you upset because Rossi did not want to­ ride for Ducatti and you had to make do with Nicky­ Hayden? :) lol

Great run for Melandri! I hope the­ Kwaki team can keep up the good work!

who the hell is carlton kirby what an idiot doesn't­ even understand the wet race rule but haydon should ive­ never heard such a lot of rubbish in all my life they­ should not be commentating unless the know what they­ are talking about EUROSPORT BRING BACK JULES AND­ TOBY OR YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE TURNING YOU OFF

TOBY AND JULIAN HELPED ME LEARN A LOT. EVERY TIME­ SOMEONE TURNED THEM ON I WENT TO THE LIBRARY AND READ A­ BOOK!

THIS YEARS CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE IS BECOMING VERY­ EXCITING WITH SO MANY RIDERS IN CONTENTION. LET'S­ HOPE FOR SOME GOOD BATTLES. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO­ LAGUNA SECA HERE IN THE STATES AND HOPING FOR A REPEAT­ OF LAST YEARS ACTION AT A TRACK WHICH SEPARATES THE MEN­ FROM THE BOYS!

To all of you that think this is easy why dont you go­ and have a try

great race its time to get these muppet commentators­ off,they should learn the rules,bring back toby and­ julian or god forbid will have to watch on bbc

great race, (shame about the 2 muppets commentating)­ sure melandri had the biggest smile and pedrosa charged­ like a man who means business. rossi will be­ embarassed by his mistakes but he will come back like­ the true great he is. wide open championship which­ shows once again why motogp is the premier and f1 is­ the circus. go rossi!

alexmanning1810, so you know more about racing than­ Rossi? Funny, I don't recall seeing your name­ repeatedly in the record books.

Rossi has gotta feel pretty disappointed with himself,­ first falling in the manner of an amatuer, and then­ being so angry about it, that he sped in pitlane.­ Especially as he hoped to get his 99th win here, so he­ could make it his 100th victory in front of his home­ fans at Mugello later this month.

GO TOSELAND!!!!!!
and congrats 3 lorenzo

Ride of the day must go to Melandri, huge respect for­ Lorenzo but what about Rossi, i nearly cried. All great­ for the championship though should be a great season.

Congrats to Jorge but ride of the day is Melandri. I­ said right from the start of the season Marco can­ achieve a podium and a top 5 postion in the WC­ standings. Today he has achieved both. Despite what the­ commentators said, he was running 3rd when he pitted­ for slicks, and consistently put in the fastest laps­ whilst the track was drying and before Lorenzo changed­ from wets to slicks. It was a fantastically mature ride­ to consolidate his second postion, many others would­ likely have pushed on to try and pressure Jorge,­ possibly resulting in an off due to the tricky track­ conditions, but Marco settled down and controlled the­ gap between himself and 3rd admirably. I am not­ completely convinced the result was entirely due to the­ weather and race conditions, and await the next­ hopefully dry race with eager anticipation. I also hope­ the big cheeses at Kawasaki will provide ongoing­ support and development for the team now. Its­ interesting to see Kawasaki are now above Suzuki in the­ manufacturers table despite only running the one­ bike!!! Go Marco!!

Somebody tell that idiot Carlton Kirby to keep his­ mouth shut about earlier races during the MotoGP.­ Didn't have time to watch all three races today so­ plumped for the big guys,only to find out from big­ mouth who won both the 125's and 250's, what a­ jerk!!

CRAZY race..I knew Rossi came in too early..but wait­ til we get into normal races..only one proper dry race­ so far this season and Rossi won it, so bring the heat!­ and what the hell was up with Stoner with the whole­ slowing down on the straight? whingeing little aussie.
