French GP - Spoiler

Interesting race yesterday at a wet Le Mans.

Pedrosa dominates, Crutchlow finally finishes on the podium (despite the rumours that he will lose his ride next year), and Marquez figures out how his bike works in the rain for 3rd. If MM doesn't win the crown this year he will next for sure - and possibly will dominate a la Rossi.

Dovi is dropped to 4th, sadly, as it seems he and Hayden got the Ducati's going well, at least in the wet.  And it was quite strange to see Lorenzo's Yamaha droning around in 7th.  Are we seeing the Honda's emerge as a significantly better machine?  Time will tell, but the rest of the season will be pretty good given that Pedrosa, Marquez and Lorenzo are ready to scrap every race.
 
Definitely a good race.  Thought Dovi was finally going to sew up a podium finish, but then the track began to dry out- and it was pretty much over for the Duc's.  It has to be evident now to anyone with eyes that those bikes are under-powered compared to the Hondas and Yamahas.  Man that Marquez is a scrapper- I think that one pass he did (can't remember now on whom, maybe Dovi) was the ballsiest move I've seen all season!  Good for Crutchlow to finally finish on the boxes, he's been overdue.  Still can't figure what happened to Lorenzo, though- almost seems like something went wrong with the bike- maybe the TC was malf'ing???
 
I missed it and forgot to record it. I was at a COG rally. So thanks for the results. It was the opposite for me. results, not a spoiler.  :-[
 
Another very good race this season, looks like there is also going to be a bit more competition for Yamaha this year
 
I'm watching the rerun on Speed right now.  I don't know that you can judge too much from this race due to the very wet conditions.  always nice to watch two-wheeled vehicles going around a track though!  ;)
