Bautista impressive!

[Bundy]

What a harsh result for Marquez I thought - to be excluded from the race for just missing in his compulsory pit-stop by just one lap. Yes, riders were made aware of the rule but it doesn't take away from the harshness of the rule in the first place, especially when, you could argue, that Pedrosa's one position drop penalty for speeding in the pit-lane was too lenient (although realistically it was quite sensible)

18 point lead now to Marquez with two rounds remaining. It's still a handy position to be in because he can pretty much guarantee the championship win it with at least a 2nd and a 3rd in the last two races - two thirds will tie it up (providing Lorenzo wins the last two races) but on count back of wins Lorenzo will come out on top as he will have 8 wins compared to Marquez if I counted it correctly. But let's hope that this doesn't eventuate and Marquez wins the last two races

As a sidenote, I thought the shifting to the spare bike during the compulsory pit-stop with the new tyres was stupid and probably assisted in the decision by Stoner to not do a one-off ride at Phillip Island.
