elgo 1 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayStorm 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 ^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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussief1 4 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I think Stoner will beat his 10 wins from last year this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayStorm 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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...
