True about Pedrosa, although I'm rooting for the little guy, and it's really important that he get every point he can in case something happens to Marquez. Strange to see him not on the podium. Glad he passed Lorenzo.
I really thought Rossi was washed up after his move to Ducati. Like you I am really happy for him. During the race I told my wife he must really, really love racing (my wife says he probably really loves the money lol) and I agreed, but Rossi has nothing to prove anymore and could retire comfortably without injury and knowing he is in the top 2 or 3 racers of all time. Can't imagine what his record would be if he hadn't wasted two years on the Italian machine. Big gamble. If he'd have won, he'd have been a super god in Italy, instead of just the god that he is.
