Just watched the 250s from Jerez - amazing stuff. Bautista and
Simoncelli were never more than a couple of tenths apart.

I think the Eurosport commentators called it completely wrong -
Simoncelli was visibly riding the wheels off his bike to stay with
Bautista, and the couple of times he got past, Bautista motored back
down the straight. It all looked to end in tears, and so it did on
the last lap - Simoncelli (in my view) was working so hard to get
drive out the corners that when gassed it from the apex, he rode
straight into the back of Bautista's slower exiting bike, bringing
them both down. An unsatisfactory ending to a great duel.

And who'd have thought Pasini on the Polaris world bike would be leading
the championship?
