Excellent wet MotoGP race today with superb riding from Pedrosa who took 1st, Cal Crutchlow 2nd (racing with a tibia plateau fracture after a nasty crash in practice) and rookie Marc Marquez coming 3rd after learning more about racing a big bike in the wet in 1 hour than most people would in a couple of years!
Shame that Ducati were robbed of a podium but that lil firecracker Marquez just wasn't going to take that learning curve easy...... he certainly has a championship future ahead of him.
Lorenzo was struggling after the first third and dropped back to finish 7th, while Rossi, who looked very promising for a podium slid out, dumped his bike in the gravel, remounted and came in 12th.
Terrific race, extremely entertaining. :thumbup:
