I felt sorry for Casey Stoner, but I'll withhold judgement of Rossi. Yeah, he went in a little hot, but I don't think it was unreasonable. Racing on rain tires on a drying track is awful. I felt worse for Spies and Edwards. I've been a Spies fan since he began racing AMA superbikes and it would have been nice to see his first MotoGP podium. Edwards never seems to get a break, he's always a consistent rider, but can't seem to place anymore, and to have a mechanical on the last lap! It was nice to see Nicky Hayden get on the podium, but it seems he just got there through attrition.

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. WSBK was interesting last weekend too. What the hell was Biaggi thinking!?

Cheers,
