Brilliant ride by jorge but he went so close to repeating west's mistake on the grid. The gods and the marshalls were with him, I guess the gods at least weren't in the last race.
I would rather see stoner get to the lead of the championship by winning races but his position is about as good as I could have hoped for after this race, except he now has pedrosa and lorenzo to worry about as well as rossi. I can't say he rode a great race, tactically or otherwise, but at least he looked like he had similar ultimate pace to lorenzo and pedrosa.
I am sure this is rossi's one bad result for the year, unfortunate for him it was at one of his better tracks.
Well done marco; surely kawasaki can't abandon him now, although as some have said the team being managed independently rather than by the previous kawasaki factory race organisation may have actually been beneficial thus far.
