Spies... sigh. Crutchlow was impressive to say the least. Hayden looked great until he shredded his rear tire and fell off the map. Lorenzo put on another master class. But that Crutchlow!

If someone passes him, he doesn't put up much of a fight. He tries to repass once and then seems to be giving up. Or it maybe the father thing.

Great ride Crutch! And why isn't Yamaha kissing his boot straps? Shame on you Crutch, now you’ve gone and made Dorna outlaw riding with broken bones, all in their quest to achieve mundane sameness.

I'm interested but doubt we'll ever hear why that happened. His first 4 and a half laps were what he is truly capable of running, like he did in Assen last year. I've not given up yet.

I think he'd be 3rd if he hadn't run off. Lorenzo and Stoner were in a class of their own. That Yamaha especially seems to be handling really fine. Crutchlow was awesome, carving his way through with the fractured ankle. Not bad entertainment for a car track, at least when it's dry. Spies was unlucky yet again.

Thought for awhile that Spies and Hayden were going to kick some azz, but in the end proved to be normal Spies and Hayden. The aliens are everything they are hyped to be and Crutchlow was amazing..
