    Talking Spoiler alert!!!! Silverstone MotoGP.....

    Good Morning,

    Early wake up for the MotoGP Silverstone round.

    Amazing race! Exciting to watch all the practice and qualifying this weekend.

    Superb rides by some of the MotoGP rookies!

    Aoyama did not race, had a bad crash on warm up.
    Melandri crashed out on the first lap, and then Capirossi later on.

    the podium:

    Lorenzo
    Dovizioso
    Spies

    Hayden
    Stoner
    DePuniet
    Simoncelli
    Pedrosa
    Edwards
    Espargaro
    Bautista
    Kallio

    Lorenzo got out front and ran away with it.....that man is a machine!!!!
    Congrats to Dovi, a great race for him!
    A big congrats to Spies, his first podium in MotoGP!!!!!
    Sad that Hayden got 4th again, he had a hard battle to fight.
    Stoner had a horrible start, and fought back to finish 5th.
    All the action was for 2nd and 3rd place! lol
    It seems as though tire choice was one of the main factors with this 'new' track.
    Sad to have not seen Rossi, as it would of been interesting......

    Now I gotta watch the Moto2 race, as it was apparently very exciting!
    Looking forward to Assen!!!!

    I can't believe that stoner was in dead last in the first corner. Hell of a race for him after that though. Good to see spies had a good result, pretty good since he got to race everyone on a track that was pretty new to everyone. Pedrosa just started to fall apart and looked like he didn't have any confidence in the tires. Might be due to his crash. To bad depuniet couldn't keep the pace...one more in that would have made the finish that much more interesting. Great race overall.

    Sorry to hijack, but did anyone else watch it on Speed at 5:00 pm? Was it just me, or was there no sound except for the commentators? It ****** me right off.

    The Moto2 race at 6:00 pm had no problems with sound.

    Stoner stinks he has an excuse for everything. The truth is he got lucky in 07 when he won the championship. What has he done since then but crash bikes?? Besides cry about tires and equipment. Nothing would make me happier than to see Hayden finish ahead of him this year so Ducati dumps his ***!!!

    Um, how about go from dead last and passing 11 riders to finish in 5th place last weekend? Lucky in 07? Don't think so.

    I'm not his biggest fan, but saying that he stinks makes me wonder if you actually watch the races?

    The track sounds were missing from both broadcasts of the GP round. I don't think the clowns at Speed even noticed or cared. Enhanced coverage! Yeah right.

    They need to implement that at the soccer games, so I don't have to listen to all those damn Vuvuzela horns.

    I don't care if he went from dead last to 3rd and passed 25 riders! A race is more than how many people you pass. Good start good pace and a podium is a well put together race and Stoner can't do that My point is that Stoner always has a excuse on why he didn't win. I just think he is a cry baby and should take up a new career as a crash test rider he is really good at that.

    I watch too much Moto GP maybe that is why I have this opinion.

    For whatever reason I have never been a fan of Stoner's. I agree that it "appears" as though he's a whiner, but when it comes down to laying down fast lap times he's damn hard to beat. While he may not have the endurance or consistency at times, he's impressed me the last two races, fighting hard, and somewhat successful, in the latter half of the race right until the finish line.
