Thanks Staind!! I can see that Vale is very pissed now!! Cool down vale, don't spoil your health, must take care ya!! ( is there anybody to pass this message to Vale? ) Yea, it's just unbelievable that his bike always has this kind of problem, but no Colin's.. Why?? Don't they have the same engine? Yea, SLOWEST BIKE!!! AND THEY MADE THEMSELVES LOST THE TITLE, AND THEY LOST WITH NO PRIDE!! Vale lost with pride cause he still trying hard to get points despite suffering pain , but what are the Yamaha men doing? Are they still in their wonderland in the past 2 glory years?

I would like to wake them up with an anchor!! maybe with the lots bells and alarms... to make them more aware

Such bad luck for Valentino again today with the engine failure but well done to him for even attempting to ride with his injury . Hope he feels better soon and can now look forward to next year.

Well done to Dani I'm pleased that he won it's nice to see him win again (and smile!) although it's a shame that by doing this he snatched the 2nd place in the championship away from Vale. The good thing though is that he stopped Casey from equaling Vale's 11 wins in a season.

it's always relieving to know vale would do his best always to reach the aim.. no matter what. nothing to doubt anout his desire to fight. hope the team can understand them well..

BUGGER!!

What a diabolical afternoon. Today started well as I was relieved to see Vale in the Warm up this morning and then seeing him on the grid ready to race - I was so proud of him.

Then in the race he was doing so well - my heart was in my mouth willing him to just stay with it if he could. I so wanted him to be second in the championship and it really looked like he was going to do it provided he could stick with it despite being in pain - obviously as the race went on the pain would get worse and he would be less able to fight but I did not for one moment think that it would be the bike and not his hand that let him down in the end. If he had retired because of the pain it would have been easier for me to bear than what actually happened. If he had given it his best shot and realised it was too much, then OK - he did his best and no-one can ask more.
But for him to be still in control and the bike to fail is just unbelievable bad luck.
So I then wanted the Honda to fail - but then Stoner would win - was it too much to ask for the Ducati to fail as well? Such a dilemma. And that is just how I felt - how must poor Vale have been feeling, watching it from the garage. I reckon he would have wanted Pedro to win except for the second place being at risk...how awful he must have felt!

I am glad I am not the only one who wondered if that little stuck up kangaroo didn't let Pedro win on purpose to make life hard for Vale. He must have been in his element - If I win, I am brilliant. If Dani wins, he comes second in the championship instead of Vale!

I never thought I would say it with all those bleak no-race months ahead, but I am now so glad that this season has come to an end.

I hope Vale gets over this as quickly as last year but I cannot help but feel that the pain (physical as well as mental) will linger a little longer.

I hope Yamaha are aware of what happened today.
Vale did what he did despite his injury - he was riding fast and was in a position to take points and be second in the championship. Who knows if he could have finished the race? We will never know. He didn't get the chance to show us.
Yamaha just had to provide him with a bike to do 30 laps of the circuit - they failed...again!
In Misano he had his last chance of being in the running for the WC and what happened? Yamaha let him down.

I think a lot of thinking and working needs to be done by Yamaha over the coming months. Vale has shown his dedication and it is high time they did something in return.

Sorry, rant over - it has been a horrible afternoon.

Jrcambs, you're so right and I'm so so agree with you, and that's how I feel now.. though it has been 3 hours since the race ended, but the pain sensation to see Vale was let down by his bike, is still hasn't fade!! I'm glad to see that the testings for the next season is going to start on 6th november!! =D

Does anyone know which sports channel is going to broadcast the testing? Will there be any broadcast for their testings?

It was very sad that Valentino had to retire from the race due to yet another engine problem. It was also noticeable that he couldn't control the bike whilst braking, due to his hand injury.

Still, it was a good race for Pedrosa and always joyous to see a rider win at their home circuit, regardless of who they are or what team they ride for. It was a well-deserved victory that helped him clinch the extra point he needed.

I don't think there is anybroadcast of the testing at all..
maybe a 1 min video best of at moto gp.com
