Anybody lucky enough to be at Laguna today?  Pretty good race after all, and it was good to see Nicky smile for a change.

 Pedrosa on the HONDA got the most incredible holeshot like everybody else was standing still, then went wire-to-wire. Not much of a race, actually, hardly any passing. He almost blew it by taking it ez on last lap, Rossi made up 1 and half seconds in the 2nd half of that last lap came close but no cigar. Lots of crashes this weekend; that hi-side in the corkscrew during qualifying was jaw-dropping.

Great race... saw it on TV.... HONDA won it but it was a really close finish 1,2,3 all right on top of one another.

Yea, I watched some qualifying last night and saw Lorenzo come off the top of his Yamaha and land hard. I credit his young bones and big heart for doing so well today. Rossi did come close to stuffing it under Pedrosa.

We've seen closer races, but I'm always amazed by these guys anytime.

I just caught the qualifying. That high side was crazy stuff and to go down twice within a couple laps and still walk, good stuff. Glad they are okay.
