Was a pretty good contest. I did think Lorenzo was going to make good his late charge, but he made that little error or 2. Go Casey.

Here's a thought for us to ponder, and it is very early in the season I know, but what has happened to Ben Spies??????
If he doesn't lift his game I'll lay even money on him being replaced at Yamaha by Valentino ...........................
Rossi is on the market in 2013 and he's not shy about wanting to ride for Yamaha again.

I think its too early to tell, long season still to come. Outside of the "aliens", obviously a fan of my countrymen, not always a fan of what they are riding. Hopefully the "woman" recorded this like I asked!
