But instead today we got, "all over him like a bad coat"

Much better...

"He's wearing marquez like a coat"

Could have been worse, he could have said "he's wearing marquez like a hat"

[sprinter1050]

I thought the big class race was far more entertaning than Moto2 & 3 which was great for a change.
Though Moto2 was good anyway.

Without doubt the worst commentary i have ever heard! Those 2 clowns were utterly appalling!

Great race though, hope the season provides more close racing.

You're seriously missing "nightmare in a bubblecar"?

Third armpit

Shot the fox

The worst of all.... He's really got the magnets on

Nah, " Across the Stripe" sets my teeth on edge.

28 laps the journey

Tbh it was pretty appalling, I'm sure they will gel as time comes on but it wasn't great then again what do I know, I like Jack Burnicle and James Whitham, actually I like Parrish too, especially his moonlighting on itv4 for the TT. Fortunately racing was ace enough to zone it out.

Also worth pointing out I'm a big Cal fan and want him to succeed but at the moment, no chance of any Cal glory.

Cal really not happy

I was very unimpressed with that - acting like a petulant prima-donna; it's not like his problem even cost him anything.

Rossi - I had a feeling he'd be back, he seems to be spending a lot of time sliding supermoto a about - significant?

Commentary team - that Keith bloke, he's very second-rate compared to the likes of Moody. At least Julian is there and I also had Toby's twitter feed on my iPad. I don't think we'll ever see the Moody/Ryder/Mamola dream team again

Maybe we could collect all these in a separate thread (sticky?) - there's going to be fking loads of them.

The dream team was Moody/Noyes/Mamola. Still the best commentary trio I've heard.

Oh - he was good - always coming up with fascinating anecdotes.

Nakagami has been disqualified from the Moto2 race for having an illegal air filter. A real shame as he rode brilliantly.

I did think that the Keith guy wouldn't shut up. You could hear Julian (I like him) wanting to say something and Keith just withering on about what I can see anyway. After hearing people say how good he was back in the day I was looking forward to it, but much prefer Moody.

Link?

ETA: Just seen the announcement. How annoying is that?

Plot thickens as the team has appealed the decision.

Wonder if I'm the only one that actually enjoyed watching the meeting, from reading all the moaning on here!

[Dare2Fail]

Cal's just posted on Twitter that they had a sensor and transponder failure on lap 5 which meant the bike didn't know where he was on the track and I imagine that the rider aids would be all over the shop as a result. That'd also explain why the in race captions saw him drop to 19th when he was still battling Dovi. The bike held together until the last corner and the cut out, but it wasn't a fuel issue.

You're not alone. Best race for quite a while from my perspective.
