Moto GP from Barcelona was a thriller, especially if like me you're a Valentino Rossi fan and want to see him gain that tenth world championship. Of course all motorsport can be incredibly hard and my heart goes out to the family of Luis Salom the Moto GP 2 rider tragically killed in practice.
I had thought that Barcelona could see Valentino take the fight to the Spanish riders and on Sunday he did just that, somehow Valentino seems to find that bit extra on a Sunday, even if qualifying doesn't go so well. After his engine blow up Valentino really needed maximum points; that team mate Jorge Lorenzo was taken out by a wild Ducati levelled things further although who would bet against Marquez or Honda?
Lorenzo is not happy that Iannone isn't being punished with a ban it seems.
Dani Pedrosa on the second works Honda completed the podium. It was nice to see a Suzuki putting in good consistent fast laps too and it'll be good for all of us if more manufacturers are in with a shout. Suzuki have a large test programme planned I believe and Cal Crutchlow apparently had a good post race test as well. Game on.
