amazing and kinda boring.. good race.  hard to imagine doing that in 107 degrees.

good battle for 3rd.

Yeah, no shit.  I was thinking the same thing.

My first race was in 108 degree heat (thank Antelope Valley) and I only had to do 6 laps and was dead-ass tired afterwards.  I can't even imagine doing the equivalent of say 30 laps would've been like.

And yes, the race was kinda boring.  It was pretty obvious from the moment that Rossi got onto Dani's back wheel that he was gonna win the race.

I was really disappointed in Hayden.  When he took 3rd, he left the inside line COMPLETELY open going into the next corner.  If he would've taken even a slightly defensive line, he coulda had 3rd.

Nicky made way too many mistakes to podium today, both with strategy and technique.

[superjohn]

I'd like to have seen Nicky on the podium just to hear what the interview question could be.

+1

Even had Nicky closed up and not let Dovi by after he made the pass, Hayden was running wide far too often and Dovi would have gone underneath him within a lap anyway.  Hayden rode ok, but not worthy of the podium.

agreed... i actually thought he had breaking issues or something.

...at least dani didn't win  YaY!

It was the tires.
