Go Stoner!! Make your last race a memorable one!!

[HDT05]

Must say this race hasn't got the 'touch' as others has with nothing really to gain except for maybe Pedrosa after he lost the title, Lorenzo won the title and Stoner doesn't want to damage his ankle so I'd think they'll take it a 'little' conservative, if there is such a word in MOTO GP!

[crikey]

Thankfully it is dry for Qualy,Hope Stoner puts it all on the line like at PI, But somehow doubt that, He is already thinking about beating Frosty ;D

[HDT05]

Looks like they are going all out! - excellent !

Lorenzo looking the goods.

Hope Stoner doesn't come off and injure his ankle, can't see him being competitive in the dry so I don't want him to risk a injury for a stupid result.

[crikey]

Stoner is so strong in sector 3, Even with a bad ankle he is a weapon.

Lorenzo also seems to be pushing even harder, Cmon Stoner.

Cracker lap by Pedrosa, I thought Stoner could hold on, But not to be.

Hopefully it stays dry for the race Tommorow and the top 3 stay together to the end.

[HDT05]

70% chance of rain Tommorow Crikey.

Great lap by Pedrosa, maybe that title loss to Lorenzo hurts - haha

Lorenzo and Stoner weren't as hungry as Pedrosa, or as stupid whatever is was....

[Bundy]

Pedrosa's race to lose, sad to say for Stoner's last race but a Spainard at a spanish track on the quickest bike is like Casey around PI, he is near on impossible to beat!!

That might suit Stoner, But I doubt he is going to risk further injuries in his last race.

In saying that though, Once the helmet goes on anything can happen. Stoner was looking racey in the last wet race, It may even bring Ducati in to the fold.

[Bundy]

What a final race to the year.. Stoner fittingly got a podium having to drive through the field after starting on wets...big high-side to Lorenzo when he was passing Ellison - no one to blame really...Ellison was holding the racing line and Lorenzo just lost it when he went on to the slippery part of the track. And congrats to Pedrosa for winning which means he won more races than Lorenzo this year.

[HDT05]

****ing CRT is to blame for that crash, Ellison should've moved out of the way, but I don't think he knew Lorenzo was behind him. Lorenzo handed that on a plate to Pedrosa.

[crikey]

That was a massive high side for Lorenzo, Under dry conditions you would say the CRT bike would have been in the wrong, But in the wet I don't see what the rider could have done differently in that part of the track, Either way glad Lorenzo was able to walk away from that.

Crazy race with those conditions, Glad Stoner got on the podium for his final race.
