I sorta read it wrong. My bad. [roll]

Ya, but Fook-YA! At least there was a Ducati on the podium. [thumbsup]

Was Jorge going for a spacesuit look with the leathers and helmet? That's the only thing that comes to mind looking at him.

Great rides by Lorenzo and Stoner though.
Yeah it was great to see Casey back, and in the mix...for the entire race.

the bike and leathers were custom for a launch of a new fiat
when lorenzo saw them, he decided his helmet should follow suit

Ya but why? Why the American NASA theme? Is this the "I won at the US Indie" look. Or It's silver, might as well be space man.
Pretty though. His helmet had GANA with US flags instead of NASA. (GANA = Wins)

'cause there is no Spanish NASA? ;D
I just watched the race. With about 10 laps to go, the announcers were reviewing the start. One said something regarding Nascar and the other said "we won't go down that road". Since they had technical difficulties with the sound, I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Anyone get that?

IIRC correctly they were talking about Pedrobot's great start, his super-modelesqe body weight, and how those two were related...then a possible ballast requirement for the bikes ala Nascrap...hence, the we won't go down that road comment.
Thanks J!
