Well done to Scott Redding :2up .
Performed brilliantly winning the 1-2-5 race. Took some of the limelight away from the underperfroming Bradley Smith.

James Toseland, it had to happen, with that stupid leathers :nono .

and I was there to witness it!!!! :worthy He rode brilliantly and I think the comments about Bradley are a tad harsh.

One thing I will say is that Stoner was amazing all weekend. You could easily tell he was going to win this weekend. I was never really a fan before but Ive got a hell of a lot of respect for him now. :2up

The good old british public showed thier loving ignorance again on Sunday by flooding onto the track whilst the guys were still racing coming out the old hairpin, its amazing that no one was injured never mind killed oh plus they boo'd and did the wnaker sign to Stoner purely because he beat Rossi. :nono Some folk in the UK need to be taken out.

That really is pathetic, agreed. :nono You may not like a particular sports person but that's just plain ignorant. The gene pool needs a little chlorine! ;)

Was there myself. Great Weekend.
As for Toseland, I think he was a great sport, after crashing on first corner, causing damage to his bike on right hand side (no foot peg or brake lever) he managed to pick up the bike and complete the race, all be it last, but showed he was a good sport, and did not want to let his home crowd down. Crowd felt the same way as the they gave him a standing ovation at the end.

As for the public invading the track, from where I was standing, the race had finished, and the crowd were just excited in watching a great days racing. No harm done.

As soon as Rossi etc had passed they invaded the track where I was (old Hairpin). Half the field were still to come through at 130mph+ with people standing at the side of the track, f ucking t ossers in my opinion. On the slow down lap they almost knocked the guy Spies and one other of thier bikes. Its things like that will stop the GP from coming back.
