The Moto3 race was a cliff hanger also, at least for the final two podium spots. The younger Marquez brother had a comfortable lead at race end but seven riders fought hard for second and third. Scott Miller made a valiant charge on the last lap to go from eighth to fourth.
It was reported that this GP marked the first time that siblings had won in two different classes on the same day.
It must be frustrating for Pedrosa who came to the Repsol Honda team on the heels of Nicky Hayden's championship year, being unable to win the World Championship after eight years in the premier class. If Suzuki is able to build a competitive bike a switch to Suzuki would give Pedrosa the chance to be a team leader and perhaps, revitalize his career. He certainly showed some real fire at Catalunya.
