Well what a great effort from Lorenzo just when it looked like Marquez had clinched it at the last moment. The fight for the title isn't over yet and the only thing you could bet on is that a Spaniard is going to finish in the top spot. Rossi seems to have come to grips with the Yamaha finally but I think he's going to have to get used to not being on the podium. Would Pedrosa have had a better chance at challenging for the lead had he made is usual good start off the grid? it's not one of his favourite circuits and he is still suffering from his injury but so is Lorenzo and Marquez dislocated his shoulder just hours before the race. Roll on next weekend.

A fantastic finale to last weekends race with the front two swapping places at least 3 times in the last two laps. Marcquez is something else - would never know he was riding with an injury and Lorenzo showed his guile and experience right at the death. As for Vale - a lack of pace at the start of races is hurting him big time - too much rear grip apparently (which to me as an F1 fan is ironical) but when the bikes start to slide around on worn tyres he's as quick as anyone but obviously by then he's too far back.

As for the championship surely only a bad injury can stop Marcquez now. An unbelievable talent.

On a slightly different note my only complaint with MotoGP is lack of cameras as when a lot is going off the action is often missed and can't be replayed on another camera. Also the lack of constant time intervals between each rider stops you from following the off camera action - had no idea how Rossi was doing against Bautista or how the squabble between the Ducati's and Smith was unfolding. Would prefer that the sport remains on BBC but no doubt Sky will at least address these shortcomings.
