The kid is a motorcycle racing phenom!
The old man did great!
Lorenzo and Pedrosa must be saying "What is happening?"
I can't feel a lot of sympathy for either one of them. Pedrosa's had every opportunity. He just can't win. Lorenzo was a bad winner...way too full of himself.
Marquez is a phenomenon, no doubt. The way he came through the traffic made it seem like he was in an LMP car in a GT race. Honda must have something super-trick in his bike. I'm not saying they're "cheating," but....
I think more of Rossi now than I did when he was champion. It takes guts to get out there race after race at his age, knowing what the inevitable crashes are going to feel like on his old, old bones, and still pushing hard enough to podium in spite of it.

"old, old bones"? Well, I'd be positively decrepit by comparison. I'll never forget seeing his first practice rounds after he broke his leg a couple years ago. Was back on bike four weeks after a compound fracture. Had to use a cane to walk after getting off the bike. Amazing guts.
