Aoyama seems to have crashed / broken down on the last lap whilst figting for 11th. No points at all for HRC.
Come on Hrc get stoner, we all now know he contacted them 're riding so he's up for it.Can you imagine Rossi, Marquez and Stoner around Jerez....

Just been watching the race, nice one Rossi and Cal 
. Serious case of the red mist for Marquez tonight.
Rossi for the title?
PS. What has happened to Lorenzo this year? I don't know if he's not happy with the bike or whatever, but he doesn't seem on it.
Got my bet on at 7/1 for Rossi title. It's looking good so far . Serious case of the red mist for Marquez tonight.Rossi for the title?

This year? Lorenzo has been in some mindfeck since USA last year. Don't know what's going on with him, he seems broken.
Who doesn't want to see Stoner step in at some point? Seems pointless Aoyama rolling about.

What would we rather see, Aoyama replaced with Stoner or Toseland replaced with Edwards?!
How good would it be if Edwards stole Toselands job after all the crew chief poaching in tech 3 when they were team mates?
A toughy but the latter. The only thing letting the coverage down is Toselands monotone from an expressionless face.How good would it be if Edwards stole Toselands job after all the crew chief poaching in tech 3 when they were team mates?
We WANT EDWARDS!

Cal top Honda

Ha. He's a grump sometimes."I'd like to thank the people who wrote me off"
lol
Says the team did it F1 style, he chased a specific lap time that they knew the tyres would last the whole race, and hey presto, 3rd place.
Great race. Feel sorry for Marquez but lets not forget that Rossi had the race won, he was 4 seconds behind when he got into second and had taken the lead before Marc ran up his back wheel. I think the big news isn't so much about Marquez's error but its more about how Rossi really could be a championship contender this year.
Having said all that, Marc has also shown he has plenty of pace but perhaps he can't afford too many errors this year. The Ducati's will only get stronger as well.... Looking like an amazing season.

Got 3rd and his tyres where not shot

Except for the laps where he dropped over a second. He seems to have been properly racing, rather than just knocking out the times. Says the team did it F1 style, he chased a specific lap time that they knew the tyres would last the whole race, and hey presto, 3rd place.
Cal seems to be at war with someone, especially after the Austin race. Is it Dov, Ducati, MM or Honda themselves - I don't know? Honda's satellite riders are a bit of a mystery. I am sure it will all come out in the memoirs.
Awesome racing all weekend. However you've got to wonder what's happening with lorenzo. He's on a competitive bike but doesn't seem to be enjoying it. Is it a bike made for rossi? Also what happened to danny? I didn't see any replays of his exit from the race, did he lose it through tyres or something else?

Pedrosa?Ummmm ...
Rossi 1 - Marquez 0.
IMHO it was simply a case of Rossi being rather more experienced in the gentle art of high-speed knitting.. You'll notice Rossi takes a tiny look down to his right, to see whether Marquez stayed on for the first impact, but also allowed him to see where Marc was and he simply held the line and let Marquez deal with the blue object in front of him ;-) Either way, its a racing incident and long may it stay that way ( Capirossi on Harada, <cough> ).
Of course Rossi has 'form', from 125s onward with his sunny happy-go-lucky persona.. You don't win many bike races or championships by being too generous on the track though :-)
Anyway its always good to Rossi still ( after all these years ) goes and watches the other races on the pit wall.
Mr. Kent, holey moley. Though I reckon talking up the championship already is tres premature... I can't remember the Spaniard who won a 125cc ( IIRC, it may have been 250s) championship, by never winning a race that season. Rabat? I think its just his name that causes the dislike, I've never been able to fathom out why either.
BT Sport, I've never understood why the athlete is on there, he appears to have zero knowledge or an embarrassing understanding of the sport; and yes to Edwards, no to Toseland.

I like Cal, he's a good rider, he just lacks any tact what so ever, so when he opens his gob, that rubs some people up, not me though.IMHO it was simply a case of Rossi being rather more experienced in the gentle art of high-speed knitting..

He's Marc Marquez's manager, Emilio "Chupa-Chups" Alzamora.

From my understanding the Yamaha has evolved around Lorenzo's riding style since Rossi departed for Ducati and Rossi had to adapt his riding style on his return for a 'different' Yamaha.Lorenzo just seems out of sorts at the mo. Lost a bit of his mojo.
