[Ducati] Assen *** SPOILER *** (maybe, I haven't written it yet)

*** SPOILER ***

I just finished watching the race.  You know,  I was sitting there through
the whole thing thinking, "Ho-hum.  With Capirex and Rossi and Melandri,
etc, etc, ad infinitum, all on the injured list, this is gonna be a pretty
boring race.  Sure, I love Nicky and it's cool to see him race up through
the pack to challenge Edwards, but towards the end it just seemed like Nicky
was gonna coast to the finish line and take his 20 points, and let Edwards
take the win.

Then...holy Moses!  Nicky found something extra and passed Edwards!  Woo
hoo!!!!  But wait, with only HALF a lap to go, Edwards takes him back.
Then, the last time through the chicane...BAM!!!!

OMG!  I think I saw it the first time around 10:50pm and my wife had been
asleep since 9:30.  After that finish, she came to the top of the stairs and
yelled, "What the hell is going on down there?!!!"  We (me and the two boys)
kept her up for the next 10 minutes or so as we watched the last half of the
last lap over and over again.

Wow.
