That incident with Marquez and Lorenzo with marky leaving pit lane could have been so much worse. Both riders very lucky.

Yeah, i seem to remember Katja scoring points because she threw her gloves and boots into the crowd. All the blokes were telling her to strip and throw her leather in haha, but the tv gimps seem to think ana is the second. They probably forgot about Taru Rinne.

Again, i lay the blame at race direction. Why make then ride the speed limit to the end of pit lane only to have slow bikes meeting fast bikes.

Well, a monumental fark up on so many bloody levels.
Is/was the black flag to Marqez to harsh (and don't forget Cudlin and Staring also got the flag)?
The 'drop a position' penalty to Pedrosa for the pit lane speed ............ since when is the penalty for a pit incident to drop a position on track? And that makes no mention of the fact that the 60 zone was only moved this morning.
The sheer fact that the DORNA rule imposition forcing pit stops means that bikes are entering the circuit at turn one was bloody stupid and irrespective of who may have been at fault caused the Lorenzo/Marquez touch and subsequent damage to Marquez's bike.
All up, from a personal view this was a bit of a total joke and has a ring of 'Mickey Mouse' about it.
Hope we never see or experience such a total fark up again as all it does is make the sport look ill-organised.
But, well done Lorenzo on maintaining focus amidst the cluster fark of stuff ups ........... you are still in it there .

So did dani finish 2nd or 3rd. I thought he was stood on the 2nd place step. This race will go down as a classic but all for the wrong reasons.

Rog,
From what I saw he lost Position 2 to Marquez prior to the black flag thus he did 'give up' one position as directed/required.
Whether the person he lost that position to finished is immaterial (or should be as the penalty was not said to apply at race end)
