For the second MotoGP in a row we had the riders facing changing weather, and having to judge when to come in to swap bikes.
I thought it was a great race - interest all through the field. These guys have incredible skills (and the last 2 laps of the 250 race is a 'must watch').
Casey Stoner came through to win after being down in 6th when the last few front runners came in to swap bikes, BUT:
For the second Moto GP in a row Lorenzo beat Rossi, fair and square, as well as out-qualifying him. Last time out Rossi dropped the bike - is teh pressure beginning to tell? This time he was just out-ridden. Shaping up to be a really interesting time in the Yamaha garage (with a wall down the middle).
And much as I don't like seeing anyone crash out, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving rider than Pedrosa. The title chase is now down to three (in alphabetical order): Lorenzo, Rossi and Stoner.
