All in all a fantastic opening race and a promising start for Cal Crutchlow. From what I could make out Lorenzo suffered some sort of mechanical/electrical failure, he appeared to fall with no good reason. VR once again shows his class finishing on the podium, poetry in motion and as for that titanic last lap battle between Dovi and Marquez they really are supreme talents. I have been fortunate enough to witness a few top riders racing live and the tv pictures simply do not do them justice, to ride in such close quarters at these speeds is incredible you have to see it to believe it.
