Spanish invasion.

Alex Criville won his second consecutive Grand Prix in France this morning to open up a 26 point gap on second placed Kenny Roberts, who crashed out after Criville passed him in the later stages of the race. Max Biaggi crashed out on Lap 3.

In the meantime, despite having just had six screws and a plate inserted in his broken left wrist as well as twelve screws and two plates in his broken right leg, Mick Doohan is in high spirits. He should be back in the paddock (if not actually on a bike) by the Dutch GP on June 26.
