Rossi rode very well for his victory, I will definately give him that.......

I am slightly dissapointed that Capirossi isnt on the top step of the podium, he definately had a great chance to win......

Hayden is looking very strong in the championship, he is not necessarily winning every race, but he is consistently up there, and I wouldnt be surprized if he ends up as champion......

Stoner did more flips than a gymnast, and I'm glad he got away uninjured......

Melandri, Well I dont know...he had a chance to win, and he let it slip away....
