Wet race proves difficult for most riders. Cal Crutchlow gets 2nd in his best race in his MotoGP career! The Ducatis are known for their wet performance. A entertaining race overall!

Qatar, Austin, Jerez.... and Le Mans. 4th race bro.

I wish it was in the dry, I don't get a kick out of wet racing. Still an impressive effort from the riders and a lot of randomness in results do to the condition.

Great race! Nearly had 3 different manufacturers on the podium.

Cracking ride by Cal. I hope he stays on a Yamaha.

Amazing ride! Especially after he crashed yesterday and was coughing up blood and cracked his shin!

It was funny to hear Spalders comment on Dani riding the white line making him nervous. However, part of him wanted Dani to keep doing it and make for a better result for Cal..

I love the British Eurosport coverage. I'd never watch Speed.

Thought the coverage on Speed was rubbish. Commercial break then you find the top ten positions have drastically changed.....with no footage or explanation....happened several times. I kept on thinking I missed something during the televised part...but no.

I watched it on Speed after watching it on MotoGP.com. You're absolutely right on about that. All of the action happened during commercials! Really weak.
