Seeing as no one else has mentioned it...

Well done Rossi for winning the race and his fourth world championship, and also JB for helping him get the Yamaha up to speed and making HRC look like a bunch of ass clowns.

Grats Rossi, what a Champion, a legend in our own time, he will be looked at as one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time and quite rightly so.

Hate to say it, but......

I told you so, I told you so......

what would be the icing on the cake is if Yamaha could win the team championship as well I beleive they are 1 point ahead?

That last lap was fanatastic and how did he manage to get the places back that he lost by going off track so quickly?

Honda have won the constructors championship, Sete's 2nd secured that for them. I can't find the team scores on the motogp.com site.

Still next year Rossi and Edwards should grab that for Yamaha.

I put a tenner on Rossi (5/2) at the start of the season, and just waiting for Willie Hills to settle

He went off at one of the few points on the track edge where the grass is worn away and also pretty dry (might even have some concrete under that bit too) and it was the first lap so the tyres weren't fully hot & sticky so didn't pick up too much rubbish either.
