    He blew through the field in moto 2 Spain....crazy stuff. And Febvre did an admirable job, pushed hard, but didnt quite seal the deal on the little Husky.

    I keep hoping to see Rattray fighting for the podium in MX1, but he starts 15th and lingers around until hes 9th...pics up most of the spots through attrition. Might be smart, but not much to cheer for.

    The GP is really fun to watch. Not sure how sustainable it is, going down the path of traveling the world over, but it is reeeaaalllyyyy cool.

    I dont get the sense that the crowds are much to shout about, but KTM and Husqvarna are buying lots of trackside banners for us to see on TV. Reminds me of the Phoenix F1 GP I went to 30 years ago....very few live bodies in the stands and the tickets were outrageously priced.

    Qatar and Thailand were that way for sure - zero crowds.
