So that he can win Championship in Spain and spank the wannabe on his
home turf?

No. It's just that the extra 5 points weren't worth the potential
disaster. Earlier in the year, Rossi would have gone for the win to
teach Stoner a lesson as much as anything. But today it wasn't worth it.
What was amazing was just how fast the two of them were going all race
long.

YUP, it was a two man show, all other guys were more or less spectators.
Even Pedrosa as the third had a huge gap to the lead. The german
commentator on eurosport said, last year nine riders fit into a 22s gap.

Beside this, I think Stoner has this year a clear demonstration where he
really stands, so he better shut up for next season. I still have his
words in my ears how good he will be, and that Rossi's time is over...

What no typical "nicky caused that wreck, what is Ducati thinking?"
I thought for sure you would blame Nicky for that even though it was clearly
Lorenzo's fault.

I'm not so sure about the "teach a lesson" thing. I think it was a
smart race on both sides. I was more impressed that Stoner (he REALLY
needs a "stage" name) was able to handle the pressure. Good result all
round.
Don't get me wrong, I fully buy into the psychological side if racing
and competitive sports.
