    Not a desperately exciting race, but nice to see Tamada win again.

    Nakano riding the wheels off the Kwak was rather good too [1]- and the
    reaction in the pits said it all :)

    Must be making Michelin a bit concerned too...

    [1] even if it was perhaps fortune, rather than skill, considering the
    carnage on the first lap :

    "Hopkins was the first rider to be hit by Loris Capirossi's wild charge to
    the front of the pack, the American rider losing second place and suffering
    two broken ribs and a deep gash to his buttock.

    However, his team-mate Roberts came off even worse, suffering a dislocated
    left elbow and burns to his right side which will definitely rule him out of
    the next round at Qatar in two weeks' time. Hopkins, meanwhile, should be
    fit for MotoGP's first trip to the Middle East.

    Capirossi was also injured, suffering slight concussion and two bone
    fractures to his right foot. Max Biaggi, Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden, the
    three other riders involved in the incident, escaped unhurt. "

    Nice pic :
