Saw the crash from our grandstand, there were many incidents there over the weekend. It's the first left hander on the track, taken on cold tyres, so it's bound to be a hot spot. The weather wasn't helping, either.
Rossi compounded his cult status by remounting and riding the wheels of his bike, eventually passing 2 backmarkers, urged on by the crowd all the way.
Casey Stoner's victory was emphatic. Whether you like him or not you have to accept that he is an awesomely talented rider. If any proof of this were needed you need only look at his team mate. Melandri was stone last on the same bike.
