both Nicky and Rossi looked amazing today to start back in the grid that far and work there way to the top Congrats to both.. Rossi ran an inspired race in the end he had pulled over 5 seconds from stoner.. WOW what a race

Also look at Anthony West on the Kawi. Man he is flying. Hope he continues his success

That was a good one. Even better that is was on CBS. They even advertised for the GP of Germany on the 15th. I am also glad that the networks realize that USA is not made up of golf and tennis fans.....

I was hoping that Colin pulled out a better finish but Rossi was on fire and figured out Stoner on the last chircane before the finish line. He just waited and pounced.
KUDOs to Nicky for getting on the podium.:thumbup:
