Portugal Results **SPOILER**
1.Barros
2.Rossi
3.Biaggi

Gibernau DNF, he had led most of the race and lost the front about half way thru. Intermitten rain kept things a little interesting, but for the most part no drama! I believe CE finished in sixth and NH in seventh. On to China.

It was sad to see Gib slide out like that, The 250 race was much better - C Stoner did great.

Yep CE in 7th, he went down but then got up again! Big hand to Barros though, only guy to keep up with Gib and his "dodgy" shoulder.

Gibers was all doped up... but ran a great race until he slid.

Ya know, CEII did okay, excellent recovery

NH... what happened

Hopkins... was doing okay too until he slid out.


Overall a very boring race. Great to see Barros win again. I swear he does better as an underdog on the satellite teams.

Was a good race untill Gib fell (my favorite). Biaggi really stepped it up today was glad to see that. Barros was flying and the last lap he did was a lil scary, kept slippin the rear all over.

That 250 race was really fun to watch. Dang do I want an American up front. Maybe Kenny sr. needs to come out of retirement. CE looked pretty good, but Hayden is spotty at best these days. I can't even fathom what it would be like if Rossi was on a Honda.

I won't take away from his performance, to bail and get back up and only lose one spot is pretty cool. Good for him that he was actually battling for a decent position. Albeit, the gap was 5+ seconds between riders. He finished almost 15 seconds off the pace. Let's face it, this race was strange at best and CEII did alright.

Yeah, he did alright and I wish he would do better. I like all the other riders but I really would like to see an American competing for #1 and until Suzuki gets their **** together it looks like CE is our best bet.

The 250 race was a cracker. Stoner looked fantastic.

Motogp was pretty boring. Unfortunate there were so many tumbles. It killed all the excitement. The Melandri - Edwards battle was pick of the race.

Melandri and CE was actually very enjoyable, shame about the fall - had Gib not slid, I thinkt hat would have been interesting too with Barros catching up slowly..

Barros always seems like he can win a race, but just doesn't have the desire to do it unless half the paddock is filled with his fan base. Sort of reminds me of Koscinski who had the talent to pull it off, but rarely "felt like doing it". This has to be pretty frustrating for his sponsors and team.

You took the words out of my mouth. The Americans do better on the "unknown" tracks, and the tighter ones.

How's the China layout??

Any truth to the story that Schwantz put up $10K bounty for anyone who would sleep with Koscinski's girlfriend, just to mess with him?
