Moto GP in Le Mans , wet conditions(continuously changing), awesome driving by Suzuki's Vermeulen,.Marco Melandri finished 2nd. The race saw retirement of many riders, due to the slippery conditions. Casey Stoner, prev GP winner in China, finished on the podium's 3rd place.He extends his lead by 21pts over Valentino Rossi, who finished a hard fought 6th place, terrible weekend for him. Mugello next on 3rd June.

Could you please not put race results in a thread title? And have the decency to put "SPOILER WARNING" in it? Not everyone has watched the race live.

Thank you.

It was an awesome race. The level of maturity displayed by Stoner simply amazed me, staying cool and finishing 3rd, proving that he is championship material. Rossi disappointed me a lil bit, after all you don't expect the doctor to get beaten so comprehensively whatever the bike/track conditions may be.

Im feeling sad for the great Dr. Rossi, hes so good otherwise in dry condiitions...and boy! was it a race full of incidents!!almost 10 riders crashing out...Nicky Hayden had a terrible one...Stoner knew he just had to hang on in there to get points...

Felt sorry for Sylvian Guintoli he was having an amazing race! but his high side was just as amazing.
Hopper got to be pretty pissed as he has been consistently the better suziki ride and chris goes
and gets their 1st win since 2000, not to take anything away for chris he rode out of his skin!

I got my race spoiled by your 'race results' title. Please don't do it again. And yes, it was a great race, but wasn't too surprising since i knew the results.

It wuz a race of pure patience and throttle control, even Chris said that he cudnt take full throttle anytime and those who took, well, you know what happened.

Poor fella started on pole and ended up with 4 points rather than 25

I saw the title, race was spoiled, that is all! I obviously did not read the thread.

No worries ds.raikkonen, I've done it myself before when Jenson won for the first time.
