Bautista came in way too hot, it wasn't make the beast with two backsing wet asphalt. Race direction should have penalized him for running over his mechanic.

A special place.
It's an amazing track and the local town of Cowes is a great place to party on the Saturday night.

Cool. Ride down or bike in the ute? Take a week off and bring Scoobs. Titan might come down too. We can do a big ride before you head back.

Not sure yet. Most likely scenario is fly down.

Would like to have been there for this. Both these guys are class acts.

Good interview with Scott Redding, starts on page 30.
Fair warning, it does contain spoilers if you're not up to date on race watching.

Yep, read that. The little bugger is becoming impressive.

He's been impressive for a long time, the difference is that we're finally accepting it. Like the article said, he was vilified for years after taking out Nicky, even though it eventually didn't affect his championship. The fact that Pedrosa was favored in the following years was not his fault, Repsol had full control over HRC. He's had a lot of bad luck with injuries that have pretty much ruined his title hopes, but that does take away the fact that he's still one of the best racers of the 4-stroke era.

Pedro's pass on Nicky was more Iannesch in style than the unfortunate race incident at COTA. If Dovi hadn't run wide he would have been clear. It seems to me that they both lost the front but Dovi saved his running wide and Pedro didn't, so just racing mistakes struggling with gauging front end grip.
