Top work by Stoner to tie it up on his birthday.
I feel for Lorenzo, but as they say, " To finish first, first you must finish." (Or in his case start.) The track surface was the most bumpy I can recall seeing it; at least it's the same for every competitor and Linfox have announced the track will be resurfaced over December and January.
To build a near on 7 second lead was a great tactic by Casey as it allowed him to back it off on the wet laps and still finish more than 2 seconds in front.

Just caught the moto2 reply ... spewing for bradl ... Marquez ... what a run ... last few laps were so tense.
I only caught a bit of the marquez crash on the news ... but what happened ... heard comments re: race crew were silly sending him out with so little time or some such. (sorry I haven't search)

yer, even tho he is Spanish Im cheering marques on do not want bradl to win so pretty disappointing about the penalty but coming 3rd from the back of the grid :O. I believe what happened was Basically what happened was he crashed out earlier in qualifying, the team managed to get a second bike set up for him a couple of mins before the end of quallie. By the time he made it out the pits and round he crossed the line with 30 seconds so he only had one lap to lay down a good time. most other riders were on a "cool down lap" and he was flying rider was going slow across the racing line marques ran straight into him.

Damn
Sad news.
I've watched practically every GP for the last 20 years - this season I had thought that Marco was going to be one of the true characters of the sport.
Rest easy Marco

Rip Marco.
This incident precipitated a conversation with my son (5) I'd hoped to have much further in the future. All I could offer him was that Simoncelli had spent his life pursuing his dreams and that makes his life, however brief, well spent.
Don't die wondering fellow Farkiners; chase those dreams.

Exactly right, might seem harsh but one of the better ways to go. RIP
