For the second race in succession Alvaro’s gone and reminded us why we love and support him, with a phenomenal run at Misano which saw him move from 11th on the grid to 6th on lap one and to an eventual win.
Stonking stuff really; full-on gutsy riding, totally unfazed by all the Simoncelli / Barbera nonsense going on around him - and the pure balls-out riding style to carve through the field and the calm clarity to not get involved in any reckless moves taking him to a thoroughly deserved and spectacular victory.
Both Kallio and Simoncelli did themselves no favours in the overall championship standings through their performances, with Alvaro now moving up to third with a nicely reduced points margin (Simoncelli leads with 190 to Kallio's 164 and Bati's 163).

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Just saying. ;)
Really very clever race of Bati, he kept away from all the nonsense and took advantage of the silly actions of Barbera and the Hair.
Really very, very, very pleased with this weekend's result. I think I smell a second championship title around the corner... ;(
