What a race!!!
A couple of thoughts;
-once again, Rossi starts from far back and has to battle all the way through the field to land on the podium. Even my GF made note of this fact while watching today! Regardless - it makes for compelling viewing.
-91,000+ spectators!!! This reinforces why MotoGP events should be held in the heartland of the sport. The atmosphere seemed amazing especially when the fans swarmed the track after the race. Rossi is clearly a national hero.
-Lorenzo - dominated.
-Marquez - he ran wide on a couple of corners and hasn't been a serious threat for much of the year when all is said and done at the end of race weekend.... But I was thinking "you can't call this a nightmare season for him... he's still challenging each race and has only crashed out once..." and then seconds later he crashed!

-Crutchlow - the announcers indicated that both he and Marquez went for the harder compound front tires and both seems to lose their front end with just laps to go. Coincidence?
-Yamaha dominance this year
