I'd like to try to share the atmosphere with some pictures...
I will skip the reporting of the actual race, because you can find that on plenty of moto journalism websites, better than I can write it.
It'll take me a while to upload the best of them, let me know if you have any specific requests for big versions, or other pics. Especially for non-Yamaha pics that I have plenty of, but won't post here much.
