    Best racing of the year from the GP guys. Moto 2 was good as well.

    That might have been the best race of the 800 era. Wow.

    Not my favorite race by far. The first and last five minutes were good. The rest was typical MotoGP.

    I was keeping my eye on Josh Hayes. Not bad for a first time in a MotoGP race on a wet track.

    speed's website says noon with 125s on at 11 but that's probably wrong. the guide on tv says noon for 125s and 1pm for MotoGP which sounds more normal.

    HAYES!!! CAL!! BEN!!!

    So happy for all the guys but especially JOSH. Can't stress HOW FUCKING SHIT the conditions were this weekend. Friday full wet. Sat & Sun COLD, WINDY, and spitting rain the whole time. So shit to learn B'stone slicks and carbon brakes. Every single person I talked to in the paddock was super impressed with Josh across the board. Very cool.

    Okay I'm tipsy and tired and it's 5am after the afterparty and now sleep bye bye. Up in the AM to go to testing.

    I agree, I would have liked to have seen the look on vale's face after the crash..his body language was saying enough i guess..

    well when they repeat them on tuesdays they always start at noon. so set your dvrs to record everything from noon-3 would be a good bet to get all 3.

    Re: Valencia...

    The end had me on my feet, the beginning was a bummer though. I had thought it being the last race and being two weeks after Marco's passing it would have been a bit of a dull race, boy was I ever wrong.

    I am really looking forward to seeing Hayes back on a GP bike again, he did great for his first time in less than ideal circumstances.
