I really don't think he did enough.
More of a marketing exercise to young Italians, methinks

Edwards was fastest today, with Rossi on his tail. Times are tight.
Could be a boomer of a season, even by their standards

Stoner:

Everyone says I crash too much so... just to make them happy I had my first crash on a Ducati a few minutes from the end! It was just a small one however, I lost the rear under acceleration and ended up on the grass on the inside of the corner! I wasn't hurt and didn't damage the bike so I suppose it was OK!

Actually I saw Valentino when it was his first year racing 125s and I was impressed. I said to Jeremy that he would be a champion. I was right. Then I said he would move up and get better .. which of course he did, so I have been a supporter for many years. However I was not disappointed when Nicky Hayden won the championship last year. He is a totally cool guy and there are a few rider I like and a few I don't. I am not totally biased and think it is good for competition to have different riders win... it would be boring if Rossi won every single race.
