Jorge going from hero to zero. After the Aragon race I made the comment that Lorenzo got lucky for pulling in so early, and that it really was the result of him really not liking to ride in tricky conditions. It paid out big time there, and it seems some had made the comment he made the decision due his years of experience. I think yesterday showed this was not really the case as he made the same gamble again, and this time did not get so lucky. It was obvious that with some rain on the track he was nowhere, and clearly the only thing for him to do then was to take the gamble.
This has been as much about Marquez confirming his genius as it has been about Rossi coming back to the top. I can imagine now that his goal will be to try and beat Bayliss' record of the oldest winner of a GP race. Certainly I hope he will continue to entertain us for a while longer, and to give Marquez a run for his money from time to time.
Finally, too funny with Luthi in the Moto2. After having tried to pass Rabat, he was all set for a second place, and looked like he had no idea what had happened as he won the race! Great second half of a season for him, and if he could have had Aegerter's first half of a season...
