Couldn't compete with Assen for sheer thrills, but still delivered a great finish with Doviziozo, Lorenzo and Marquez fighting it out until the bitter end.
And Rossi first into the first turn. Been a while since we've seen that.

Yes it was a long train of bikes following each other. Not many fights, besides a few actions by Crutchlow and Rossi. Thankfully, Lorenzo put up the show at the end.

Early was good, late was good, the middle not so much, but the last 3 laps were cool.

Yeah, first three riders separated by 0.37 seconds. The second group of three was 3 seconds back. The last two minutes were exciting to watch. Good for Dovi! He's been fairly consistent in overall points gain, but it was good to see him take first. Come on, Pedrosa! The Repsol team is only 3 points behind Yamaha. Help Marquez out!

Good race and Dovi showed his cool in the closing laps, never allowing Marquez or Lorenzo upset his pace. Can't remember the last time Lorenzo fought for the lead with such determination. I think Rossi was the only top finisher on a medium front tire which may have been the wrong choice for this race.
