It's 4 am after a long drive from Santa Maria, so initial thoughts are SM made another first time winner in Nic Faas with a one groove track and little passing. He did what he had to do and held off those trying to pass him, even thpough he almost coughed it up on a las corner stumble, but he recovered to win.
