MotoGP at Phillip Island (spoilers in here!) Christ that looked like a heavy fall for Troy - he was definitely out cold as he tumbled down the track. The press release from Ducati says: "Bayliss fell heavily, immediately receiving trackside assistance before being taken to the track medical centre where he was conscious and able to talk, though he had no memory of the crash or of the race. He has no broken bones but was helicoptered to Melbourne hospital for precautionary checks." As for Loris - he showed his true colours again on the 'sedici. A class act and really on it when things are going right. Whatevver trouble he had with the bike in the last few rounds seem to have been worked out now. It was interesting to see some of the on-board shots from the other bikes (I think it was from Gibernau's bike) as the 'sedici was pulling a gap on them with no trouble at all. Definitely a force to be reckoned with next year now they've got some data on both the bike and the tracks! Rossi also showed his form ... still think he won't win on a Yamaha next year? Nicky Hayden was also showing promise too - some of those dives down the inside were awesome to watch! A great race, and good to see that Rossi didn't just settle down once he's won the championship. |
