    If I can recall correctly (I was pretty tired) he lost the front, smith was close behind him and sat up to advoid him so Hayden sneaked by.

    While I know I was watching a good race am I the only one who found it a bit boring still?
    MM, JL battling and Pedrobot occasionally making an appearance. The front 3 are always so fast they might as well be the only 3 in the race. I can only hope that next year with the rule changes and moto2 faces that the racing won't be so predictable...

    Probably didnt help that it was on so late so i quite sleepy while watching it, but what i meant was that this season has basically become a race between 3 people, the other guys are just so far behind. I would rather watch a race where there are lots of guys gunning for 1st throughout the race (like moto2 was), not just the final laps.

    That race was AWESOME!!!!

    How good is MM. Was that better than JL racing after his surgery? Not only was MM racing, but he almost won, beating JL who was racing a great race.
    I really wanted MM to make it 5 in a row, but good for the championship having JL get the win and clearly motivated again.

    Due to the link I was watchin which just happened to be in Bomanian or something I couldnt understand what status MM was in till he showed up on the starting Grid.......
    And I still dont know to what extent he was injured so please enlighten me 'caust that was one hell of a race.
    Moto2 was awesum too I reckon.
    There were some excellent slowmo bits of coverage where in Moto2 & GP where there were several bikes sliding into & outtov corners.
    Poetry in motion pure.

    He had a huge off and dislocated his shoulder in morning warm up. Got it popped back in and can now add hard arse to his resume.

    MM the super hero because he popped his collarbone, had it put back and then raced......... News flash for those who have not been there: it hurts a lot, and when it goes back, not so much, maybe not so strong for a day or two, but it does not take epic heroism to function!

    Be quite nice to have access to the same pharmacy though, never have to feel anything but, ahhhhhhhhhh any time you stub your toe.

    News flash. Every single time it's different depending on what other damage is done sorry. Ask me how I know this. But yeah...you're obviously well hard. And not sure I used the term epic heroism either. But hey...

    Ps:. Landing on ya shoulder on concrete at mega high speeds happens to hurt as well. A LOT. So it's hardly just the dislocation you've gotta deal with eh.

    A couple of things i have noticed re MM.His transisitions from side to side are noticeably quicker than everyone else.Not so last night but its not surprising.Stoner started it i reckon but a lot of the newer riders are hanging of more and getting forward.MM almost seems to have his head up by the front forks!
