I actually kind of excited to see hopper running this race even though he is just a fill in rider!

3

Me too and I feel bad about Toni Elias…

4

heard its going to be a wet race this am :slight_smile:

5

A lot of good racing and a lot of crashes…damn!

6

LOL…:rofl What a roller coaster race! Never screamed so loud watching races in my life…:rofl:rofl:rofl

7

Once Spies took over 2nd he should have not pushed so damn hard there was no way he was catching Lorenzo anyway.

8

He was not trying to. Data shows at that point JL was leading him by 8s+ with only 3 laps to go.

I think he is set on taking 2nd but trying to put a more comfortable gap on DP right after he passed him and lost it.

We were both wrong. Actually he slowed down too much and lost it…

Ben Spies, Yamaha Factory Racing

“I didn’t think of it as a race today, it was more a race of attrition. Once we moved into fourth behind Hayden, I knew I could get past so just waited for the right moment. Pedrosa was only a few seconds ahead of me and I thought for sure we could get on the podium. Lorenzo was obviously going to win but I knew we could go one two. I put it all out there and caught Pedrosa. As soon as I passed him I knew that we had second place under control, he wouldn’t be able to get back by, but I needed to not make any mistakes. Every corner after I passed him I slowed down, taking it easy then all of a sudden I was on the floor. Obviously it was my mistake, but looking at the data, I was going slower than I had all race. It was one of those things; I think the tyres were the limiting factor today. I think it was a great show for the crowd though!”

Great race!

Following the collision between Rossi and Stoner during the MotoGP race of the Spanish Grand Prix on 3 April in Jerez, the Race Direction has decided to organize a hearing with the Clerk of the Course and the Chief Marshal in order to review the incident and to hear the explanation of the officials in charge.

Due to the fact that the final decision of the Race Direction will not affect the result of the race, the hearing will be organized on Thursday 28 April in Estoril, Portugal.
