So far Rossi is on top and Pedrosa suffers a broken collarbone and is out, allowing Lorenzo to increase the gap between the two. Spies is quick and Dovi is pushing to the top.

Dani doing origami once again.

Casey joining him next year, and Dani & Alberto having a sook about Suppo's possible new role may have the Spaniard a little rattled.

I'm happy I actually get to watch the race online at a sane time! 21:55! None of this 5:00 morning business. ;)

What's amazing is both Rossi and De Puniet are back. I still can't believe it.

I think Dovi wants to try and keep his 5th overall, only way to stay with a factory Honda next year. Big Ben is only 8 points behind, got him running.

This race was great. Makes me think...what would happen if:
1) Ben Spies didn't go off at the beginning (he made a great race after that)
2) Pedrosa was present.

WHAT A RACE :D

Great race. Just hope Casey has this form at PI.

Was unreal seeing Rossi & Lorenzo bashing fairings. Neither backed down & they both stayed upright :thumbup:

Dissapointed Spies got 8th, but bloody hell he flew to get back up there :rockon:

I definitely was exciting! That's the kinda stuff I like! :BLAA:

More bad luck for Nicky though.

I see that Spies and Edwards have a little bet going on each race. If either one gets beat by Simoncelli, they have to do tequila shots! :D
