Thought it was Barcelona they were slagging off?

They were saying they'd all be happy to see Valencia gone and hodgy was saying no rider enjoys that track...doh!

They did say it was catalunya that was in financial trouble a few years ago but now it looks like Valencia or Brno might make way for Thailand.


I've gotta say with current form I think this championships lorenzos to loose, although anything can happen

Great race, but the halfwit with the chainsaw was getting on my nerves.

Iannone's "jump start" - http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/219461/1/race-dir...

Very lucky indeed. The bike squats down and he moves slightly (that's allowed this year) but he goes as the system says lights out but he's moving as the lights are dimming, the other riders go when they go fully out.

I think you can class that under "amazing anticipation"
Must admit this was the first premier class race I was on the edge of my seat watching in a long while.

That's the reason I like him.

Wasn't it Marquez and Crutchlow who were both on the Hard front tyre? And both of them lost the front?

I think Bradley Smith was using it, too.

I just can't help but think that if there's only one seat to stay at tech 3 at the end of the year pol will get it regardless of where he finishes

Bradley is contracted to Tech 3, Pol has a contract with Yamaha.
Dunno if that will make a difference, tho.


When Rainey was winning 500cc championships, Yamaha started to make the chassis really stiff.
The riders complained that it made the bike very hard to ride and they kept having crashes because of it.
Sounds like Honda may have done the same thing.


Starting to really like Iannone !

i just welcome there being more than two makes on the podium. Although a red bike would on the top step would make my race day...

Mugello looks like an amazing place to go watch a race. Been saying for years I'd love to go and I definitely will some day but I fear Rossi will have retired by then and it just wont be the same anymore.

I went last year, wish I'd gone this. It's just totally brilliant. Nothing can really put it Into words

Need to get there next year.

Just got back, phuckin' awesome track to watch and most of it is in eyesight. Getting in and out was a pain as buses were cancelled so walked from station and back [eventful coming back climbing a bank over a stream] but the atmosphere is something else.
Hoping some kind soul has it taped in some format that can be forwarded as our router got disconnected
