Ride of the day was Melandri. I just wish he'd do that more consistently. The way he rode through the field was amazing. Stoner shaking his head on the line was bizarre by comparison. I guess he was rueing that tyre choice before he got off the line or that he hasn't put the ink on a Honda deal just yet.
It pains me to say it having watched the formula evolve over the last 12 or so years, but MotoGP now looks pretty uninspiring compared to the racing in Moto2 and 125. For those stuck with just the awful BBC coverage you have my sympathy – you don't know what you're missing.
Rossi's crash was awful – about 120 mph or so. I feel a bit less annoyed now though that I won't be at Silverstone watching.
