Great Race!

I hope they've got some room for more improvement on that '06 RCV. Nicky's almost there.

The camera work (on Speed) was the worst I've ever seen.. Not only did they have few good, close vantage points, but every time something was happening with Rossi at the front, they'd cut to Rossi's pit crew.

Maybe they were braking so late that the camera man was afraid he'd be broadcasting a representation of Mohammed.

Don't blame SPEED, they have nothing to do with the video feed.

I thought it was hilarious when they showed the repsol pit crew after Nicky took the lead... The announcer said something like "come ON you Japanese people at least show a little emotion"...

Not to mention the last lap cutaway to Pudrosa and Melandri while the top 3 positions were still being battled for...

I know, I was just differentiating what I was watching from those who might have seen a better version on MotoGP.com..
