As frustrated as I was that they stopped the first race, it did make total sense. The second race was much, much safer. I guess your views are jaded by one particular rider who fell off in the second race though.

He was so choked in his interview but it was so well deserved.

Nope, Rossi (you mean?) pushed too hard. The way Scott had caught him and the way the Hondas were coming in race one, I think he was in trouble anyway, don't you?

It really is just an observation that restarts in those conditions, almost always a wet but drying track, tend to trigger chaos.

10/10 for Jack, great result for Marc, and 11/10 for Scott.

Flippin BT Sport on Sky. Came to watch the race about an hour after the live time and got to where Pedrosa crashed in race 2 and then sky box said end of recording. Great. So didn't get to see Redding on the podium. Bugger.

It was absolutely too wet to continue I was there. In other news a Honda umbrella is the best 15 euros I've ever spent.

I thought Redding was on for a win. Rossi would've got top 4 in that race.

That was a cracking race, and a great result for Redding and Miller. Nice to see the podium having a bit of variety

The first one yes, the second no as per others it didn't record all of it hence no comment from me about it so hey no jaded views from me, although not sure your terminology is correct either I think you mean jaundiced view
