Rossi didnt hand him the win 2 races ago... he was catching him, made a mistake then dropped way down. They said tyres were the culprit. So Even if Rossie caught Stoner and passed him, i dont think his tyres would have lasted anyways.

So many races come down to a final pass on the last corner or so. Great to see Stoner get such a good start, just hope the Ducati's can keep it up and not loose the pace they have shown on the European circuits.

He's making a mockery of his team mate

I thought that might be the case, it is rare that someone of his calibre comes along. Every rider in MotoGP is no doubt an amazing rider and can ride a bike on the limit, yet he has that ability to get that extra 2 or 3 tenths a lap out of a bike. He is up there with Senna in that respect.

Rossi is already feeling the pressure. that "banzai" move he made on Stoner with 6 laps to go was just silly. he was a little closer than he had been previously at the end of the straight, so he tried to force Stoner wide by braking late and hoping that he would follow him wide into the corner, but Stoner just kept his head and held his line.... Brilliant!

Well Rossi wasn't going to overtake stoner anywhere else on the track so he had to try. Stoner has ridden every race this year practicially perfect (except for the 2nd round) so there was no point in Rossi waiting for him to make a mistake.

In 2 weeks though they head back to europe for most of the season so rossi usually shines over there. I think the yamaha is looking better in the corners and under brakes, it's just straight line speed they are missing.

Hayden was lucky to win last seasons. If you only win 2 races you don't deserve to be world champion.

Also edwards has always been mid pack for the past 5 seasons. So i don't see why people are talking about that. I think he has the ability to win races, i just don't think he wants it as bad now. He's a bit older than most,s got a wife and kids, and more money then he will ever need. So there's no point in pushing it.

Hayden was lucky to win last seasons. If you only win 2 races you don't deserve to be world champion.

agree with the rest of your post... but don’t know about that statement.. i have heard it so many times from die hard Rossi fans. Although i think it takes away from winning the world championship if you only win 2 races, but being consistent is the key and he was up there or there abouts enough times in most races. No good winning 4 races then being retarded in others. He performed well most races, but didnt go onto really 'out shine' everyone. Most riders were not consistent, they had good races where they win, then the next 3 weeks they dont even finish top 10.

So i still think he deserved to win, as annoying as Hayden is.

Quali times

5 SUZUKI John HOPKINS USA 1'34.102

6 HONDA Toni ELIAS SPA 1'34.125

7 HONDA Nicky HAYDEN USA 1'34.247

8 KAWASAKI DE PUNIET FRA 1'34.318

9 HONDA Marco MELANDRI ITA 1'34.360

10 HONDA Dani PEDROSA SPA 1'34.412

Stoner 2nd, hopefully another podium place for him!!

Vermeulan FTW

Stoner third in a wierd race. Very exciting stuff, the rain sorts out the shit kickers that for sure. And once again to my utter delight Hayden took a stack and fell further away from the leaders. Stoner now with a comfortable cushion in the championship.

Vermeulan f**k yeah!! Stoner P3, awesome. Was a great race to watch, bikes sideways are crazy!! Dont know what happened to Rossi, normally he love those conditions.. id be guessing tyre related...

All in all was a great result and good race to watch. Stoner has a whole race win advantage over Rossi now.

good to see stoner mixing it up on the tight and technical circuits where his straightline speed is of no advantage.

And what happened to edwards??? P1 on the grid and into the first corner he was out of the top 10!

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
