WHAT A RACE ...

I'm a HUGE Formula 1 fan and have watched every race for more than 20 years ... I started following MotoGP in 2013 and wow.... the drama, excitement, etc., relative to F1 is simply crazy!!! Faster and Fastest helped immerse me in the sport early on.

As for yesterday's race... good gracious.

Dry - RAIN - Dry ... drama!!!!

-I got the sense that Rossi was racing to beat Lorenzo more than he was to win the race itself. When the two were the last on rain tyres you could literally see them shredding apart. I kept thinking ... Rossi is playing chicken with Lorenzo and somebody's tire is going to completely come apart.

-I'm so used to F1 I kept screaming out loud : "BOX, BOX, BOX, BOX, BOX, BOX, BOX!!!!!!" Lewis Hamilton style. =)

-I yelled and screamed a lot during this race ... especially when the riders first started pitting for their rain tyres. So much excitement and chaos.

-Rossi's biggest mistake was staying out one lap two long. He got VERY lucky that Lorenzo failed to finish the race.

-Cannot believe that somebody that crashed made the podium. If EVER there is an example of why you DON'T GIVE up no matter what's that!!! Kudos to Scott Redding for not quitting on the race or his team and sponsors. It was hilarious when he was in the fourth and the announcers were basically, "didn't ... didn't he crash earlier in the race??!?!?"
