I still cannot believe Crutchlow threw it down the road. It seemed the front twitched when he braked, let the brake off, braked again and down he went.
He seemed to have a real pick on that nerdy BBC commentator before the start. Not for the first time and it looks more than banter. I wonder what is going on there?

Aye all the previous ones seemed funny and both were having a laugh, but today did seem like something was wrong. Good to see it just wasn't me that noticed it.

From what I could see, his front wheel was very slightly in the damp on the left hand side as he braked. The wheel slipped and then suddenly gripped as it slid into the dry patch. A real shame for him.

Re: Throwing it all away ....
We took a cheeky trip over to Spain, with the sole intention of going to Valencia. GP tickets only cost €41 for weekend tickets(as opposed to tickets for Silverstone being £95)
Week in the sun in Alicante and a wee jaunt up in a hire car.
Saw Lorenzo come off, right in front of us. But missed Cal's off.
Really missed the big screens around the track. Was totally confused because some had opted to change to their other bike and started from the pit lane. Guess there's a lot to be said for learning foreign languages, and understanding the commentary.
Looking at next year already. Assen maybe. Who knows?
