The Good & Bad Of Raceday...

Well - ups and downs really.
The crucial thing is the 'down' - Alvaro dropping out of a brilliant fighting race where he was easily going to be on the podium (I'd have said 2nd) when his bike failed on lap 6 of the Malaysian 250cc GP at Sepang.
The race saw plenty of other good scrapping though, and of course also saw J-Lo seal his title bid.

The upside was this...

...The splendid Toby Moody not only plugging us again on Eurosport (is it just my imagination or does he mention us more often than he mentions the Eurosport website???) but also apparently pimping the site to Alvaro himself! Stars, the both of them :)

Anyway, for completeness, here's the results in full...
