Well done, ...mate!

Good work indeed! There was a few times near the end I thought Lorenzo was going to catch him, but Stoner kept him off.

Also got excited when it appeared Hayden had a chance at the podium (early in race, up to 3rd place). Ah, but not in the cards. At one point they showed the onboard camera of another bike passing Hayden on the straights. Man... just blew by him.

I've read (or heard, don't really know which for sure) that the Ducatis can't get any launch off the turns. If that's the case, maybe it's not actually top-end that they're short on, they just start the straight later than everybody else. Hope they can find it and fix it, because they've got a couple jockeys what deserves better.

And if you thought that was fun, watch the Moto2 race.

Dry race, but damp track, and the rear tires just weren't up to it. More high-sides than I've ever seen in a single race, most of them in one turn. Lap 1, Turn 10, three guys went over their bikes, and at least one other had "a moment."

They built a spaceship over the start/finish line, and now they've built a launching pad in Turn 10.
