Default Estoril 250 race was more exciting than MotoGP

Anyone see both races? Because of rain, the riders certainly weren't able to go as freely as they would've wanted. Nonetheless, the action in the 250 race was great.

This track had lots of places for passing and the lead changed hands several times. Casey Stoner rode a great race and is a real gent too. I like how he raised his hand in apology to de Puniet after forcing him wide a bit. de Puniet overtook him but Stoner took him out with an outside pass. man, great stuff!

made me thing about Rossi in the season opener and how he made Giberneau go a bit wide. I guess that's still up for debate. It was sad to see Giberneau throw it away because of the slick conditions.

Can't wait for China in 2 weeks!

Yeah and it seemed a lot more competitive. This was the first 250 race I had ever watched. 5 people had a chance to win in the last lap
