Dont forget to watch it.
Moto 2 showed what a class act Elias is and why he should win the title.
He is still one of a small elite who have ever beaten VR on the track.

Awesome ride from Elias. Deserved to win it by far.
Still Ianone did well, just faded at the end and couldnt stay with Elias.

And the GOAT is back.Interesting that a less than fit VR and Stoner on the troublesome Duke had one of the best races of the year.

Although i cringed evry time Rossi was on screen,(hoping he would not fall and do himself even more damage.) He rode very well indeed.I cant believe that he thinks he can overhaul Lorenzo though? The closest threat to Lorenzo is as the stats show,Pedrosa. A few changes to the chassis saw the tiny maestro actually enjoy riding his bike for a change. De Puniet has been rewarded with the same upgrades as the two factory riders due to his excellent performances thus far.

What did you think of the images from the gyroscopic camera mounted on Vale's bike? I thought they were great and allowed one to really appreciate the lean angles he achieves.

I thought it was something different, you can't see much from that camera though. Was it actually gyroscopic? They said it was, but then the BBC Matt fellow said it just used GPS to find its place on the circuit and then a motor adjusted the angle accordingly, which would be a bit lame even if the end result were the same.

The best camera I've seen in Moto GP was on RdP's bike at Silverstone (or perhaps the round before), a forward facing camera but with a high field of view and far clearer/smoother than the typical onboard camera. Not seen it since, though.
