We were able to actually watch the Qualifying for this race. Ben was looking good until he crashed. Did you see Lorenzo's high side? WOW it was nasty but he manned up and took pole.

Should be fun to watch, I went to Laguna for the first year return of Moto GP and watching those guys rip down the corkscrew was awesome!

Lorenzos high side in free practice was awful - very lucky boy (forgot to switch of launch control )

As for the race, haven't seen it yet - on at 4:00am this morning - too early for me. I've taped it and will watch it later.
