Jerez Review: The Plot Thickens
Almost no one could have predicted that last weekend's race at Jerez would produce the result that it did. Toby Moody ponders the ramifications of a strange race
There was a sweepstake in the Jerez press office on Saturday evening for the podium of the MotoGP race. 135 people entered but only three people got the podium right, which I suppose is about right considering the permutations. I was not one of them so I didn't win a pot of cash. I did get the right riders ... but in the wrong order.
I was convinced that Jorge Lorenzo was going to win, a thought process borne out of his string of 1m40s on race tyres before he bolted on his qualifiers on Saturday afternoon. When he did bolt on his Michelins, it was probably the best bit of qualifying I have ever seen. He was on another planet.
