Alan,
I agree, but it was similar to the Hayden/Edwards clash in '06. Good race all around.

Scott Redding crashed out very early, unhurt. Dovi crashed in a big way mid-race but was able to move about under presumably his own power afterward.
Holeshot went to Lorenzo who led, briefly, then drifted back, unable to do the pace. Marquez took the lead and 'did the Mladin'; clearing off with a wide margin.
Rossi did not give up second place easily and nearly crashed at least twice in the race with his bike doing its best to toss him to the clouds.

Interesting little track. Not many placed to overtake anyone. Lorenzo played the hole shot perfectly, but could not keep the pace. I thought Rossi was going to catch The Poison Dwarf, but it was not to be.
