THIS IS moment Valentino threw away his championship lead when he crashed out of the Dutch Grand Prix at Assen.

The Italian remounted his Fiat Yamaha M1 and put in a spirited ride to end the race in 11th position.

Rossi now trails championship leader, Dani Pedrosa, by four points.

Saw the crash from our grandstand, there were many incidents there over the weekend. It's the first left hander on the track, taken on cold tyres, so it's bound to be a hot spot. The weather wasn't helping, either.

    Rossi compounded his cult status by remounting and riding the wheels of his bike, eventually passing 2 backmarkers, urged on by the crowd all the way.

    Casey Stoner's victory was emphatic. Whether you like him or not you have to accept that he is an awesomely talented rider. If any proof of this were needed you need only look at his team mate. Melandri was stone last on the same bike.

 I was in the grandstand on the corner where Hopper crashed, that was mega.

A truely heart stopping moment, i had me fingers crossed for him, the speed he was going at was huge when he hit the barrier.
