It was interesting with hindsight hearing Beattie patronise OJ before the race, saying his ride would be a good development opportunity etc.
Regardless of the result, one of the best things about it was seeing so much of a Kawasaki. Normally you see the odd flash of green a few corners back in the coverage. Great to see.
Its also put some real interest into MotoGP itself, with the good performances not restricted to two riders.
So who's praying for rain at PI?
