"What a race!" grinned the Italian, after his record 96th premier-class podium. "Even if I'm disappointed not to win, it's a great emotion to be part of a race like that and fantastic fun. It really was an amazing battle to the end with many wonderful overtaking manoeuvres by both of us in all different parts of the track! Unfortunately I lost a bit of time at the start and then it was quite hard to pass Hopkins because he was fantastic on the brakes. Then with Stoner it was a great fight and honestly I couldn't have tried harder to win, but he was a very hard rival.

"Of course I'm sad because I've won a lot of times here in Montmelo and I wanted to win again, but like I said, I don't think I could have done anymore today! We know that we can beat Stoner but today he rode like a god and he's a fantastic rival, so congratulations to him," concluded Rossi sportingly.

Rossi toujours aussi sportif .... mais étonnamment il ne cite pas une fois Pedrosa alors qu'il parle d'Hopkins et Stoner. Etonnant non ??
Moi j'ai comme l'impression que lui etPedrosa ca passe pas vraiment ....
En même temps parler de Stoner en ces termes et refuser qu'il vienne chez Yam comme coéquipier .... Rossi aurait il peur de ne plus avoir son "essayeur maison" (Edward) et se retrouver en concurrence direct avec un jeune prodige ?????

Perso si la yam avait été plus rapide pas sur que Stoner aurait fini devant. Peut etre que si, peut etre que non ... qui peut savoir !!
