Aha, completely forgot about this (thank god for Sky+)...but now its ruined the surprise

Shortass's ftw.

Boring 800's. Cracking 600's...again!

Although he has shown great form thus far,it was a surprise that the diminutive Spaniard won following his shoulder op. He has never won in Portugal and tracked Lorenzo perfectly.

Rossi still scoring well despite the Ducati being way short of what he would wish.

I bet Simoncelli is fuming haha, esp after his little tiff with Lorenzo.

Agreed, surprised Pedrosa had so much in reserve after the Op. Although all things considered, I think they both rode equally well. Obviously Lorenzo got tired and made a mistake, but then he was pushing harder being in the lead for the whole race, whereas Pedrosa "only" had to follow in slipstream (plus he weighs feck all, and the Resol Honda is a bit faster).

Swap the 2 round and I think there is a good chance exactly the same thing would have happened if Pedrosa led the race.

I think Pedrosa had that race all the time and let Lorenzo tow him round.

And pulled the trigger and gone.

Very impressed by the Pedrosa tactics.

Good tactics but really boring. I manage to fall asleep during the race. When I woke up, nothing changed ...

Big Simo falling off killed the atmos stone dead. He had been very fast in every session and I think everybody is wishing to see him get his 1st win.

Scott Redding got a load of new fans, stand up wheelies everytime he entered the track any session, much appreciated by the crowd. And also his angry looking, hard charge after being nerfed by that fud Marquez.

Had a mid-priced grandstand seat after the 1st corner- €50 for the weekend! Cheapest, standing only - €20 for the 3days!
