    What a great race and well done Scott! Definately one to watch out for in the future.

    Shame JT crashed later on.

    JT causes muchos jumping and shouts of 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' in this house! OH went with his mates and is currently trying to get back out of Donnington again! Unfortunately I couldn't go, but I have a new Rossi T shirt on its way! Yay!

    H has just got back, he went with mates from work on a corporate hospitality thing. I was in the car on the way back from my Gran's with the kids so didn't get to watch this year & the sky plus has failed as we had a power cut (H doesn't know yet) I do have a donnington 2008 cap though!

    I got a new rossi t-shirt today!! And I'm still wearing it! We took baby fs with us to Donny today - bless him, he got a bit scared at first but soon got into the spirit of it!!

    Just cant believe it took us 1 and a half hours to get there.... and 4 and a half hours to get back!! It was a nightmare!

    Brill racing though! We were sat down by the Melbourne Loop - you get really close to the track there!

    Shame about the idiots who ruined it by invading the track early - and also feel sorry for Stoner as he got slated by the crowd... I personally dont like him but found the boo's and two-fingered salutes a bit unnecessary

    We were sat near there last year. Between there & the foggy esses in front of the big screen. It was fantastic. the track got invaded too & it just ruins it. You wouldve thought DP woud have got it by sorted.

    You didnt get to see/ hear the boos for Stoner on the TV. Hayden got it last year though.

    I bet the atmosphere was fantastic when Scott won. Im sooo jealous!!

    yeah, H2B was quite annoyed about that too. Apparently I have another pressie too - its pink and made by technic... I'm intrigued!! Will find out what when I get home from work! Not sure where they were sat this time. We go and see the BSB at knockhill every year and usually make our way round the track so we get to see racing from every angle!

    Shame Stoner doesn't really do racing - if he can't get out in front he's not really that interested. Was fab battle between Pedrosa and Rossi - but did Ped really think he could outbrake the master??? I think not ?

    The track invasion was rubbish and I felt really bad for JT - it looked like he was just trying that bit too hard. Enjoy your new tshirt FS - I'm envious, I'm a huge rossi fan too!

    We sky +'d the race so we could watch it when we got home... Randy Mimola made a very good point about JT - that perhaps he needs to stop trying to please the crowds so much with his band/music etc and concentrate on his riding! That's about the only decent thing Randy M has said in a long time! Normally he talks out of his backside!

    Mr_cdl and his friend went, they had a fab time. Boychild now owns a Toseland t-shirt that comes down to his knees. ?

    I think its one of the loudest races I've heard from the track (as I said in my post on Friday, we live quite close), it was great hearing it knowing it was on the tv.

    Hi Nelops,

    He had a great time thanks. When he came back he said he was windswept but he was actually a bit sunburnt ?. They had those hospitality tickets on Sunday, which they loved (obviously). Apparently the view wasn't that great for watching the race in the tent so they found themselves a good vantage point on the track and watched it from there. I'm sorry you won't be able to come next year, I think Mr_cdl would like to go- hope his mate can get tickets again [skinflint icon].
