Marquez, a rookie factory Repsol Honda pilot, leaves the field. We'll have to kill him being the anniversary of the Republic and all.
Seriously, a fantastic ride. Both Texas riders finished way back, a disappointment.

What are your thoughts of the event?

Homeboy just took off. Watch out, Pedrosa.

I read today that Spies still isn't right physically. I think Edwards had a mechanical problem.

Well, it was a spectacle. The facility is gorgeous. I attended the MotoGP race in Indy a few years ago and I like COTA better. Even after watching Moto2 and Moto3 the MotoGP bikes/riders were shockingly fast.
We just winged it and didn’t know what we were doing so ended up parking a long way from the front gate. Lots of walking. We settled on the grass inside turn 2 which was great; could hear announcer and could see the jumbo-tron and cool to see them accelerate down the hill.
