I fell asleep for the last 5 laps - don't think I missed much though

Found a youtube vid of Pedrosa's little "mishap" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-w_BhQIvdg although it was software failure as opposed to rider error - good job it didn't happen at the start on the day, that would've been well messy!!!

I hate the fact that the bikes have so much techno crap on them, look at the problem Troy Corser when he hit the wrong button!

The best bit of that was Hopkins looking around behind him as if to say, 'Did anyone else see that or am I tripping?'

Yeah

What a brilliant way to take a chunk of your wage packet away

Obviously Honda's launch control isn't That good....

And from another angle ..... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fQX5JZCdm_U&NR=1

I know one of the marshalls who was working that day - he helped Dani recover the bike, said he was soooo serious If he'd just lighten up a bit maybe he wouldn't get so much stick!

It's Pedrobot. Of course he won't lighten up... I don't think Hopkins was laughing.. just more like "Anyone going to come and help him?"

Lucky he wasn't hurt.. it's a long drop for a someone who's 4ft tall..
