bien sur que pour ce début de saison sa été stoner^^.
mais je parle pour les courses a venirs, je pense que stoner aura plus de mal.
car faut pas oublié une chose, stoner na doublé qu'en ligne droite, je l'ai jamais vus faire les freins a qui ce soit. il a doublé dans le sinuex uniquement quand rossi écartait, sinon, rien du tout....

C'est effectivement ce que j'écris depuis le debut des GP. Stoner profite de cet avantage et c'est bien normal, il serait bête de ne pas en profiter.
Hors les bouts droits, Stoner ne repasse jamais devant Rossi dans le sinueux. Mais on pouvait voir hier qu'il était tout de même dans les temps même si Rossi et Pedrosa remontait sur lui. il a été incapable de prendre le large ce qui veut dire que le problème des honda et yam est bien la puissance et uniquement la puissance et la vitesse de pointe.

Mais bon, Stoner na fait que ce qu'il faisait jusqu'a maintenant et Rossi on en attendait pas moins. La surprise pour moi a été PEDROSA qui s'est tres bien battu et était dans le coup jusqu'a la fin. Ce qui veut dire qu'il va falloir compter sur lui tres bientôt. La seule difficulté est qu'il n'a pas la moto pour battre Rossi , la honda et la Yam ont le meme niveau et on voit clairement Rossi doubler Pedrosa à la régulière et proprement dans les 2 derniers GP.

Euh, si on retire ces trois la.... ya pas grand chose derriere....

Faux. Je pense qu'on a pas dû voir le même grand prix puisque Stoner a passé à plusieurs reprises Rossi dans les courbes (virages renault, repsol et seat). La bataille était intense et Stoner a répondu à toutes les attaques de Rossi (et pas celle de Pedrosa qui n'a fait que regarder de près la bagarre devant).
Revisionne bien le grand prix si tu as en l'occasion.

je suis tout a fait d'accord avec toi et je trouve meme que si stoner double facilement rossi dans la ligne droite c'est peu etre par ce qu'il sortait mieux du dernier virage en etant deja dans les pot de rossi alors que a l'inverse rossi devait deja combler un petit ecart avant de prendre l'aspi.
et pedrosa a ete le temoin d'un combat magnifique, pourquoi est ce qu'il est si timide sur les freins par ce que la ça devient un handiacp de ne pouvoir faire la frein, surtout que le plateau compte des bourins dans cet exercisse

les réactions d apres course ( en anglais , sorry )

CASEY STONER, winner, World Championship leader on 140 points

"Going into this weekend we weren't sure how things would go. At Mugello we had a few difficulties and we thought it might be the same here. On Friday we weren't exactly on the pace, we were losing a lot in a couple of areas. Fortunately, the team worked really hard, we came up with a solution on Saturday morning and since then we've kept the bike exactly the same. The whole team did a great job this weekend and proved wrong people who said we can't win on European tracks. There were some nice passing manoeuvres going on everywhere. All three of us had our strong points and our weak points around the circuit, I was just trying to minimise my weak points and cover my lines, and it worked out. It was such a close race, no one could go away, it was very, very enjoyable to be racing that close. It was really good because our bike was set up quite well for the braking points, so for Valentino to pass us he usually had to run wide and we were able to pass him back immediately a lot of times. The way the team has set up the bike for me is fantastic, and the Bridgestones worked great again, at a circuit where they've struggled in the past, so they've really changed things around. Today was another great race for us, I'm still not thinking about the championship, maybe later in the season we can really start aiming for that."

LORIS CAPIROSSI, 6th place, 7th in World Championship on 57 points

"I made a good start but I wasn't so fast into the first corner because I've not got good memories of turn one from last year. Anyway, at the end of the first lap I was already 11th, but after I'd passed Edwards I lost a few seconds fighting with Melandri, otherwise I could have been fifth. Anyway, 17th to sixth is not so bad, I'm not disappointed. I knew I could ride at a decent pace and if I had had a better grid position I could have gone with John [Hopkins], though maybe not with the first three. I really want to say thanks to the team because they stuck with me throughout the weekend. For warm-up we completely changed the set-up to find better traction, and we did well because the bike was better. I was very depressed after qualifying but the people around me really love me, so after an hour I was ready to fight again. We used the standard engine spec today because it's got more speed, but we will give the new spec another try at other tracks."

Valentino Rossi
Position: 2nd Time: +0.069

"What a race! 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. There were some places were we could have been better today, not just on the straight but also in some corners, but anyway it was a great experience and it will help us to understand what we need to do to keep on improving. Yamaha and Michelin are working very hard and the fact that we could fight like this today to the very end showed this. 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."

Colin Edwards
Position: 10th Time: +35.348

"Today was pretty much impossible for me; I had no grip in the rear from the start and I just couldn't get into a rhythm. Basically I couldn't load the front or turn the bike how I wanted. We've done everything this weekend, changed all the settings, springs, load etc, but we haven't been able to crack the problem. Qualifying was okay but today I just couldn't ride it. Tomorrow's our last test until after Brno and the only thing to do is use every single possible minute we have on track to get to the bottom of the problem so we're in better shape for the next few races, which are at some of my favourite tracks.

Dani Pedrosa
Position: 3rd - Best lap: 1m 43.376s – World Championship position – 98 pts

Front tyre: 16.0" hard compound Michelin
Rear tyre: 16.5" hard compound Michelin

“Third is OK and I finished right with the leaders so I’m happy for that. It was difficult to keep up with Casey and Valentino, especially in the middle of the race, but with 10 laps remaining I was able to get close again. I was actually enjoying watching them because they weren’t overtaking each other in typical places and that’s why I wanted to get in there too! However, in one part of the track I was losing a lot and I needed the other part of the track to recover, so all the time I was right there with them, but I couldn’t fight with them. I just had to wait until the last laps and hope I could find something but I wasn’t quite close enough. I want to say thank you to all the crowd who came this weekend because they gave me a lot of support and created a great atmosphere. I’ve had some good results in recent races and the performance is steadily getting better so I hope to keep improving for the next races.”

Nicky Hayden

Position: 11th - Best lap: 1m 43.987s – World Championship position 11th – 41 pts

Front tyre: 16.0" hard compound Michelin
Rear tyre: 16.5" hard compound Michelin

“I felt pretty good going into the race and through this weekend I’d been getting faster and faster in every session and going up a few places. I got a decent start in the race and I was looking to get a better result here because my pace in the warm-up was reasonable too. The race was a tough one though. Somewhere along the way the rear tyre became unbalanced and started to vibrate and chatter really badly – especially in the last five or ten laps I could hardly ride it. After that I just started losing positions and it wasn’t a fun race because it was hard to tip into any of the corners. We didn’t need that problem today so we’ll just have to look into why it happened and move on to the next race at Donington.”



John Hopkins:

“I’ve got to that point where I am now disappointed not to be on the podium, obviously I’m happy to be in the top five but I want more! It was a tough race and I held in there with the first three for as long as I could, but with about eight laps to go I started to lose a bit of pace and as hard as I tried I was losing that little bit more each lap - so I had to settle for fourth place. We’re really happy with the Suzuki and Bridgestone tyre package this season and the tyres are working a lot better than they did last year - so no complaints there at all. Now we have a couple of days testing here and I am looking forward to bettering my times and then moving on to the next two tracks that I think will really suit the GSV-R800. I am sure that we will soon have a good chance of getting on the podium every weekend!”

Chris Vermeulen:

“I got a reasonable start from the fourth row, but then got boxed in a bit and dropped back a couple of places. I had a tough fight with Alex Barros early on and found it really hard to get past his Ducati - as it’s pretty quick in a straight line! I got through the field and the bike felt very good and consistent right till the end. I had a battle with Loris Capirossi on the last lap, and although I got past him he just went by me on the next straight. Seventh place from 11th is not too bad, and we now have lots of work to do in the next couple of days to make sure we are stronger for Donington!”

Randy De Puniet

5th Position
"Even though now it is difficult for me to breath, I am really happy about what I did today. Not only because I got the best MotoGP result of my career so far, but because I did it regardless of my physical condition. I already knew it was going to be hard and the knee, the shoulder and the heat didn’t make it easy. I did a regular start and I lost a couple of positions and one more when Elias passed me after a fright in La Caixa turn. I was sixth after the first lap but I was certain my bike was much better than his. I don’t know what happened but a few laps later he touched my knee and my handlebar and, even though it didn’t take much to overtook him that made me lose contact with the front guys. I kept pushing and rode a good rhythm but they were definitely faster. We did a good job this weekend and my Ninja ZX-RR and my Bridgestone tyres worked so well today. I was completely focussed on my lap time, my braking points… At the end, Capirossi was coming closer but I managed to maintain a distance and got this fifth position that has a really good taste. I would like to thank everybody, the team, Kawasaki, Bridgestone, for helping me make this race a success. I hope that we can now build on this result."

MARCO MELANDRI (9th in the race, 4th in the championship on 75 points): "We're going through a rough patch. The team are giving their best, working hard, but the results just aren't coming. The bike doesn't give me any confidence and I can't ride it how I want. I'm really disappointed. We've struggled with the front end all weekend and after a few laps I lost confidence in it - it was skipping around and it was really hard to ride. We'll have to make some drastic changes."

TONI ELIAS (DNF , 9th in the championship on 45 points): "I'm really disappointed because I was having a good race. I got a good start and it looked like 5th place was a real possibility until the engine packed up on the 14th lap. These things happen in racing but I'm really disappointed because this was my home race in front of all my fans."

Alex Barros (43’41.769 – 8° classified): “I’m satisfied for my final result, I think I was good in this race. For us this week-end it hasn’t been very easy, we had some difficulties during the two days before the race, so this morning after the warm-up we decided to change setting but in the end we understood that it was better to come back and use the same set-up we had yesterday. Fortunately I made a good start, but at the first turn, I made a mistake and I lost some positions. Today, for me, the race was very hard, in the first part I had difficulties to recover position and in the second part I had some difficulties with the front. Unfortunately it didn’t feel as we expected and we maybe hoped for a bit more from this race; anyway, the thing that makes me satisfied is that I pushed strongly from the beginning to the end, fighting for the eighth position as if it were a podium. I have deep motivation and I hope to be faster in the next race.”


Alex Hofmann(43’57.841 – 13° classified): “I’m not satisfied, because this race wasn’t as I had hoped for. I don’t know the real reason because after the warm-up in the morning I was confident to do a good race. When I started, I knew immediately that I didn’t have the right feeling with the bike. I did not make a good start, furthermore I lost a lot in acceleration and I couldn’t be fast as I wanted. During the race I made some overtaking, but the moves weren’t enough to obtain a good end result. I’m very displeased with the race, especially because I wanted to be good for all the many fans who came here today. Tomorrow we will spend one day more in Spain to do some tests, I hope to be able to find the right solution for the next race.”

je suis tout a fait d'accord avec toi et je trouve meme que si stoner double facilement rossi dans la ligne droite c'est peu etre par ce qu'il sortait mieux du dernier virage en etant deja dans les pot de rossi alors que a l'inverse rossi devait deja combler un petit ecart avant de prendre l'aspi.

tout faux mon cher Pool, regarde bien le dernier virage et tu verras que Valé reprend environ 5-6m rien qu'en sortant mieux du dernier virage...c'est très flagran à l'entré du dernier tour

[totolamoto]

bon je croyais que c'était fini de dire que tel ou tel pilote ne mérite pas sa place! la course c'est la course! les résultats sont les résultats point final!

je trouve que l'on a eu une superbe course motogp et j'en redemande! très content pour Capirossi il était bien dans le coup d'ailleurs heureusement pour Randy qu'il n'y avait pas 2 ou 3 tours de plus! superbe baston devant dommage que Pédrosa n'ait pas été si incisif surtout devant son public j'ai l'impression qu'il a peur de refaire l'erreur d'Estoril.

superbe course 125 ça change de voir 2 ktm sur le podium mais vraiment dégouté pour Pasini!

dommage qu'il ny ait pas eu autant de bagarre en deux et demie.

[Big Horn]

+1 (Vale46) Rossi était vraiment impressionnant dans ce dernier virage qui précede la ligne droite,dans les autres on voyait sa limite car lorsqu'il poussait plus fort çà élargissait.
Hopkins est un sacré freineur aussi ,et Pedrosa est fort car la RCV il arrive à en tirer un max.
