I was at work and watched it in the staff room prior to starting my shift. (Sound was off). Anyway, Rossi was coming third, and then retired from the race. Anyone know how come? It was won by Pedrosa, with Niki Hayden second.

[edit]

Here are the official results, and until now I was unaware that it was a replay. Unusual to screen an old race. It was on the OZ Fox channel.

Yep rossi had a big chunk come out of his front tyre. He pitted and changed the rear (thinking that was the problem) went out and did another lap with still issues so parked it up. Just one instance of his bad luck this year.

Saw the next round at work today as well. Looks as if the Fox Network here in OZ are showing the whole season, one race every day. Today it was the race in France.
