Let's talk about the other elephant in the room. Pedroasa punts people out of his way, finishes 3rd, and is in the conversation for title hunt. All after a shitty qualifying. This year may be a championship of attrition.
Going back and watching Rossi's crash....he didn't lose the front. It was the rear that didn't want to finish the turn.
First time for me to take advantage of the "online DVR" feature of the go90 app via Verizon to watch BeIN broadcast. Also bought a Google Chromecast so I could watch it on my HD monitor instead of phone. Not too bad for free.
I just sat down and watched the Hayden tribute by GW that was before the race....Whoever didn't shed a tear during that, aint a man.
Gee. Sorry... Perhaps I was being a bit dramatic to make fun of your overly dramatic "why Dorna needs to do everything it can to hold on to Rossi" hardcore Uccio fanboy comment...
