Nice win for Dani. Also good to see Alex Marquez win one in Moto2. The MotoGP championship has pretty much been reset now with 4 riders within 10 points with 12 races to go.

Having returned to MotoGP only recently, I've missed the Pedrosa phenomenon. Am I right that he's now won at least one GP race in each of the past 12 years? That's a remarkable achievement. The win on Sunday was textbook. I suspect Marquez tried pretty hard, but he couldn't get near enough. As for that Zarco chap, he'll be one to watch. I wonder how long before his first podium?

16 years Cormanus, but 12 years in the premier class. He is a former 125 champion and 2 time 250 champion who moved up to the premier class in 2006. ALthough he has never won the premier class crown he is I think third all time in wins and podiums. heck of a racer. Just can't catch enough breaks to win in all. I think in 2012 he won 7 races and was on the podium 15 times in 18 races and still lost the title with a points total that would have won it any other year. Very nice and humble racer. When he accidentally knocked down Dovisioso a year or two ago, he left his bike lying there and ran and checked on Dovisioso to make sure he wasn't hurt. Class act.

Not only did he check on Dovi on track, later on Dani ran the gauntlet of the Ducati garage to apologize again to him personally. It was a completely innocent racing incident but he manned up and owned it.
