Rossi was extremely lucky that Lorenzo crashed out. What on earth was he thinking when he decided not to pit? Congrats to Bradley and Scott.

A part of me wonders whether because he was leading he knew that George would continue to follow him as long as possible and that he had the edge if the tires got destroyed. Another part of me wonders whether he was just hoping for more rain to get to the end without a second switch.

If that was the case you simply let Jorge past on the last corner, then come into the pits. You instantly gain 8 seconds or more, as Jorge has to do an extra lap on destroyed wets.

Marquez did it, but even he should have come in a lap or two earlier, though that's with the benefit of TV.

Hello everyone

Nice to see enthusiasm for, and a dedicated thread to MotoGP. Another fantastic race, so happy for Smith and Redding, what a result for them! Not sure what Rossi was doing but at least he maintained his championship lead.
