OK,and the winner is..........

CASEY STONER!!!Absolute domination from the Aussie,only 9 laps!and he only needed 5 to set a fantastic time that no one could come close to.

2nd Valentino Rossi

3rd Nicky Hayden

4th Anthony West

5th Andrea Dovizioso (Great start by Dovi)

So Hayden,Rossi and Stoner (and Pedrosa,who couldn't race because his hand still hurts) are undoubtedly top 4.

J. Lorenzo,the promising superstar...16th.

^Agree with above.

But that wasn't really surprising.

Should be another good season, as long as Stoner, or any other rider doesn't dominate it in such a way.

Unbelievable stuff from Casey Stoner today...

Go Casey you good thing

Good effort by Ant West I must say. The word goes out to all MotoGP team managers if you want quick riders sign Australians!!!

Casey for the 2008 Championship!!!!!

Ok i'll settle down again now

I think Stoner will beat his 10 wins from last year this season.

I really hope not, or that if he does, the action is still very close.

Wasn't the best season last time because he was so dominant but I suppose the 06 season was just fantastic, and difficult to follow.

Australians have always been very competitive in most sports really. Nothing new.

Same here, it's not what I want to happen either, if it were up to me, Rossi would be on one of those Ducati's alongside Stoner! That would be very nice...

I hope Rossi's change to Bridgestone was a god one
