 Now I know why my Comcast bill is so high.... I went to check to see if there would be a replay of the race around noon and found that the race was being broadcast live! Pretty cool!

Worth a read, and the lap he refers to is definitely worth a look.

Was a good read and the lap in question was pretty awesome.

He fought with the bike quite a lot during that lap, that and the fact he had just sprinted down pit lane, and then does a single flying lap was just 

Great race. Would have loved to see a bit of the Hayden/Miller battle. I have a feeling Miller took Bradl out, and then he started going backwards.....

Dovi's or Rossi's?

They were both pretty good...Rossi's pass would have gotten him on the pavement if it was a lesser rider.

Dovis

Yes it was cool to see hayden/millrr battle live. The dovi rossi battle too. But marquez, just wow, he was just so much more everything, accelerating longer between corners, braking later, leaning harder carrying more speed. Sat at last two turns and jsut wow.

That moto2 ghost bike incident was wierd.

That moto2 ghost bike incident was wierd.

It traveled quite a distance after the rider bailed.

Loving this season as a new(ish) MotoGP fan.

Loving the fact that MM isnt running away with it in the first 2 laps. Rossi's form seems really nice and Dovi, well, he's a man to prove Gigi's a master designer once again.

Feeling for Whore-hey and Crusty.....Sure Crusty wishes he was back on the Duc. Don't think he will have a fighting chance at a podium if the Ducs continue this pace, Rossi shows he's the GOAT for anyone who forgot and Whore-hey gets into the mix....Didnt forget about MM but that's a given.

The commentating on Fox Sports 1 between Ralph Sheheen and Kevin Schwantz was just so    terrible.   Alot of dead air there boys.

[The Architect]

Someone should tell Ralph that he's commentating a motorcycle race. 

Who was the rider who went down mid corner and ran off the track because traffic was coming?  Kevin noted that there was no reason why he didn't immediately get back on the bike.

Got home looking forward to seein the race... and the dvr didnt get the whole thing because of the delay :\

Buy the MotoGP package and quit pregnant doging. You can even turn off the commentary of the announcers.

That was Yonny. Yeah, he wasn't getting back on that thing. I believe that was on the last turn as they were punching it for the front straight.

So, now that the Duc has a 3rd and a 2nd, and appears to be quite competitive, what are the 'exemptions' that Ducati stands to lose as this success continues?
