Other than Rossi running Dovi down late in the race for 3rd...and then fending off Dovi's counter attack, that was a wicked boring race week-end. :/

Further evidence of how much more exciting the Moto2 class is than MotoGP. It's sad to admit...but...it's true.

Truth!

I like how the commentators tried make it interesting and especially how hard they worked to make Roger Hayden look good. "Roger managed to finish in 11th place!!! " ummm...there were only 12 finishers... Heck, I could have finished in the points on my gf's gsxr 600...

In all fairness he went from the slowest bike in the sbk paddock to a very limited ride on a bike that's in the upper 8/10s of the gp paddock...on a not so easy track. Prob just didn't want to bin it. I think his moto2 ride at indy will be more telling. At least he has time to prepare for that one

I had to settle for 46" HD and some good chicken wings.

I watched it start to finish in high res on my MotoGP.com subscription. I don't know how you guys can bear to watch the commercial filled disaster that is MotoGP coverage on Speed.
