Valentino Rossi joins Agostini as the only rider to win 100 Gran Prix races. Assen has never been the same since they butchered the north end to make room for more grandstands, but it didn't seem to bother Vale on Saturday as he finished 5 seconds ahead of Lorenzo. After the first few laps, the rest of the pack weren't even in the same race, with Stoner finishing 23 seconds back in 3rd, followed by Colin Edwards another 6 seconds back in fourth. While Casey was at the front at one point, the other four Ducatis occupied four of the last five positions. Something is seriously pooched when only one guy can figure out a setup. BTW Edwards has apparently been offered a boatload of cash to ride for Aprilia in WSB next year. That will be interesting ... I suspect he'll see the podium more than a few times. This coming weekend, the MotoGP circus tackles the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca.
