I watched the Moto2 and it was also an extraordinary race. There were lots of offs but the lead was also constantly changing and the leading group was similarly bunched. There was plenty of amazing slipstreaming on the straight. I confess I didn't expect the GP to be its equal but it was; it was better and a whole lot faster as well. Once Rossi got to 4th the other riders should have gone back to the pits and watched the master class on telly. I expected Lorenzo to do what he does when he gets in front: just stay there. For a while it seemed he would be helped by the other 3 fighting for second. But Marquez was simply not going to be stopped. He really is a most extraordinary rider.
Like Henrik, I thought the moment when Iannone passed Rossi and Marquez together truly breathtaking. The Ducati is an amazing machine. I noticed in one of the practice sessions it was a good 10 kph faster than the other bikes.
Nor, at the start of the final lap did I think Marquez could possibly win, although I confess I was hoping he would.
