Enjoy this last lap thriller from today.

As someone else described it "the sorcerer and the apprentice"

It was stunning. I'm not sure what made the difference ; experience or that killer commitment. That last move seemed to be a do or die. He really REALLY wanted that win.

Superb action

Had me itching to get out also. I've not been out (apart from the 250 commute miles a week) for nearly a month due to work and preparations at home for the new arrival.

I watched it (it was about 1am here) - Apparently I woke everyone up shouting at the TV. What a race. Magic.

Well I am just back from being on holiday and I went to the race....and what a race it was.

I had a perfect view of all the exciting parts as my seat was viewing 4 corners with the last corner baing one of them.

I couldnt believe how much of the crowd were cheering Rossi especially considering its a local race for Lorenzo.
