MotoGP Phillip Island This Morning: POSSIBLE SPOILER

I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but phew! That was the most thrilling MotoGP stage I think I've ever watched.

You must be having sleepless nights there Kato. Rossi is still up there and still the same (+/- on somedays) as Lorenzo. Frankly maybe next year if yamaha bike catches up.........

Don't leave out that it was his 250th GP that he won, further enhancing his legendary status along with being a real character and all round top guy

It nearly caught me too. I was only saved by reading the title then deciding not to read the thread until I'd seen all the races

Yep, as the season progresses he's been gelling with the bike. As you say, maybe next year.......

Can you imagine the pressure being chased by such an awesome legend and all round 'guy you‘d allow to shag your sister' must put you under. No wonder the leader fell, hell even the guy chasing him fell off at the end. That's how much awesomeness eminates just from his tail pipes! 250 GPs! 9 world championships! Even I'd have trouble explaining how a shït racer won 9 championships. 1 is easy - Nicky Hayden, I could stretch to 4 - Sebastien Vettel, but 9! No, can't be done!

Erm am I missing something he would have been 2nd if Marquez stayed up-right. All the guys that fell off were behind him bar the one guy in front. Not to mention to win you need to finish.

You are a sore looser here Kato.

Rossi is just as good as Lorenzo at the moment sorry but that is a fact he proves this year over and over. If that is the case because Lorenzo is not in top shape we will never know.

One thing is certain Yamaha is a bit slower bike then Honda this year so it must play part.

Yeah, but the trick is to stay on the bike.

It was a really interesting GP in all three classes at Phillip Island

Bridgestone are still really struggling to find a tyre that works there

It was a great weekend.

Rossi is the winningest winner ever, 82 gifted wins. He must eat 4 leafed clovers for breakfast!
