Indy Spoiler
The Doctor crashed out half way through. Lorenzo ran away with 1st place, DeAngelis second and Nicky 3rd. Dovi and then Edwards. Pedrosa crashed but recovered and finished with enough points. Melandri crashed badly, he's OK but bike was fucked.

Just got home from the race a little while ago. Getting ready to pull up the recording to see what the hell caused Rossi to bite it. Race would have obviously been MUCH better if he'd stayed in it. He and Lorenzo would have had a helluva battle.

He lost the front end and low sided. From the interview Rossi said that he ran wide into a dirty part of the track, the bike started to slide and his throttle stuck so he couldn't do anything.

Good seeing you again, too. I try. I hope she'll be able to enjoy it a little bit more next year. Looking forward to being able to take her to the race some year, instead of just practice.
