Lets hope a) the radiation controversy is less exciting than the race and b) the riders don't suffer from eating MREs in order to avoid local food.

Also, the only way sic's hair is going away is if he gets a win.  No amount of radiation is going to make that happen this season.

So it's not that Nicky's getting slower, it's that he isn't getting faster and everyone else is.  He's shaved a half a second, while Vale has lost a second and half.  Or thereabouts.  I'm sure someone will be along to correct me in a very KeS sort of way.

"A rain race without the rain" was one description I read. Pretty accurate. Stoner and Spies had impressive rides and didn't get shaken. Fun to watch Pedrosa riding the hell out of the bike.

Maybe it's the 7 or8 world Championships. As far as finishes, I'm almost possitive that Rossi leads. Lol I do know that Rossi has more points.

There aren't enough different  Headscratch or  EEK! or  Crazy emoticons to express my feelings towards the MotoGP race.  Ride throughs of pit lane and gravel were the norm, not an exception?  

Watching Iannone in the Moto2 race was marvelous.  Even after Marquez blew past him after a false neutral he still got it back together and took the lead again within half a lap.  Bradl is... well, if he's not done, he's pretty crispy.  That garage is capable of a lot more than their screwed-up heads are giving them.  He's now lost the lead to Marquez, but more importantly he seems to have lost the will to win.

Cheers for Zarco for FINALLY winning a race, and doing it commandingly.  He actually forced Terol to make a mistake, not something that guy does easily.  A close second for Hero of the race was Vinales - started from the back of the grid after breaking his chain at the beginning of the warm-up lap, then proceeded to eviscerate the entire 125 grid to take 4th.  Two more laps, maybe just one more, and he'd have knocked Faubel off the podium.  Watching him was like watching Marquez last year.  That kid is an amazing talent.

Iannone had everybody's number in that race!  He was great to watch.  

On Bradl...I think he started riding for the championship way too early.  He forgot that you need to stay on the podium week in and week out to win the championship, even if you have a 60+ point lead.  I will say though that he showed some fight in this race, putting in a hard passes to reclaim 4th right up to the end of the race.  I'm not so sure he's lost the will to win...maybe just lost his way.  We'll find out for sure in the next few weeks.
