That's because we live apart a long way.   My time for the GP is a rerun so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night.

Did you watch the Qualifying that was just on?  It was worth it.  Now I know why Pedrosa qualified 10th and saw ianonne crash, run back to his garage, jump on his 2nd bike and still end up on the front row.  He said Ducati has an issue with their water pump leaking and water getting on the rear tire and that's why he crashed in qualifying.     Pedrosa had a slow speed crash too. Rossi is on the 3rd row.

007:  So Blowfeld, you have big money on the race?

Blowfeld:  Well Mr Bond, with one touch of this button I can take down two riders at once. 

*SNAP*

See. 

Now I can use it to select the next President of the United States. (evil laugh)

Just read 1/3 of the riders crashed out.    Can't wait to watch the race.

Interesting race.   So many lose front end slide outs, even when it appears nothing wrong should happen.      Marquez wasn't his usual aggressive self.   The factory Ducatis fail to finish again.     At least a Suzuki got on the podium this time.

...it was like the ballet of synchronized crashes.   


And the top three in the title are separated by 12 pts.

1 of the riders said the track was slick after the Moto 2 race before theirs.   But the podium finishers didn't crash.  Also some say the Michelin tires don't give you any warning like the Bridgestones do when they are getting close to losing grip.
