Just finished viewing it on Videopass.
Best race of the season, just brilliant tactics and strategy on the part of Rossi and Crutchlow. Rossi's choice of the soft front was a good one, Crutchlow's hard compound was just a little better. Had Rossi chosen the hard/hard setup as did Crutchlow, he'd have won the event, barring a mechanical failure or crash. But the second place was excellent, puts him back in second and within reach of the championship.
These guys' ability to feel such extremely subtle changes in grip over the course of a race are marvelous.
Lorenzo just lost his head, there is no other explanation. Emotional.
