The race began in the wet but finished in the dry, prompting a switch to dry weather bikes during the race. Valentino Rossi was among the first to pit, but fell when he rejoined on slick tyres and also received a ride through penalty. Sete Gibernau was ruled out of the French Grand Prix after fracturing his left collarbone during a Saturday morning free practice highside. 1. Jorge Lorenzo SPA Fiat Yamaha Team 47min 52.678 sec 2.

Saw it last night on Iplayer ;D Good race wasn't it? Since when has MotoGP been quite as exciting, as Suzy said " that was a shout at the TV race" Marco was on form before the big shuffle though, genuine 4th, so he can't or shouldn't take any shit sayin that he only got 2nd because of the pits thing, reckon her would have done good anyway Well done Hayate (hurricane)
