Reflections on a MotoGP thriller
The rain that hit the Jerez MotoGP race made for a thrilling event that no one seemed to want to win. In the end, it was Jorge Lorenzo who emerged on top. Toby Moody reflects on an exciting race
As I write this it's 18:30 on Sunday afternoon and I've just got back to the press office at Jerez. I left to go to the box to commentate for the MotoGP warm-up at 09:40. I'm still buzzing. I'm just asking myself when I will hit the wall as the adrenaline drops off. But what a day of adrenaline it was...
As the weathermen forecast for days in advance, it rained and that provided one of the MotoGP races since the inception of the four-stroke rules ten seasons ago. It seemed that no one wanted to win, or even finish on the podium, so impossible was it to extract traction from once treaded tyres on the warm, but damp track.
