San Marino MotoGP *** Spoiler Alert ****

Was sort of strange to see bits of Lorenzo's rain tire start coming off when he rode it too long in the dry.

He was trying to turn it into a slick.

Had Jorge come in when this pit crew signaled him to do so the results may have been quite different.

Five races to go. 23 point spread between 1st and second. Marquez is in a good position to play the spoiler, but I'm pulling for Valentino.

It is amazing how much grip you get from rain tires in the wet, and then how quickly they just disintegrate when the track dries. When I was younger I did a fair bit of kart racing on a national level, and can very much remember how I would be going down a straight that was drying seeing how my front rain tires just ripped to pieces! Looks weird, and makes go in to the pits very quickly!

Obviously Rossi thought he could make his last a bit longer...
