Absolutely made up for Brad.
Not only is he a great lad but he's worked incredibly hard, ridden absolute pieces of shyte to get where he is today.
Mum and Dad are well off but not minted so it was never a case if silver spoon. Before the start of this season Dad said this was his make or break season, no more financial assistance. Time to stand on his own feet.
His performance this year has been stellar, especially the 35th to 1st stunner.
Historic day indeed.

Belting moto3 race and well done to Brad.

Wonder what's going on with Kent... They keep making hints at there being trouble in the team

Kent staying with the team, possibly going with the new Suter next year. They haven't been happy with the Kalex they have. Leopard may or may not staying as title sponsor. Oliveira is off to Ajo's Moto2 team with Binder.

Suter has been testing with Passini and has been going quick, the Dynavolt team are switching to the Suter and current rider Folger has also tested it and given good feedback. With fewer Suters on the grid they could get very good factory support compared to being near to last in the queue from Kalex.

I see we're back to sensible Marquez again.

I thought it was quite a boring race overall. The first few laps were exciting with some exciting overtakes, but after that it settled down and was quite professional.

MM93 has the title in the bag now.

Well done Lowes on his win and the same to Binder for absolutely dominating Moto3 this year.

Never seen anyone so ecstatic to actually be losing points to the leader of the championship than Jorge Lorenzo. I find his behaviour towards Marquez beyond laughable.

Top stuff from Marquez, he came back well and the title is surely his and lets be honest he deserves it this year.

Shame Rossi went in too hot as I was sure he was going to have Lorenzo in the last two laps.

A Lowes twin stays on the bike long enough to win. Fantastic. smile
You are, of course, aware that between them they've got British Superbike, British Supersport and World Supersport Championships - the pair of unreliable-can't string a season together-only as good as your last race-chancers

Yep looking like it. I know he is being rather more sensible this year, but my god when on form he incredible (from a self confessed Rossi fanboy).

Marquez rode a brilliant race. I'm sure he had more in the bag should he have needed it too. Lorenzo was a lot quicker than I thought he would be too!

Lowes was in a different league today, long may it continue.

Great for binder, he seems like a good lad! Hopefully he can adapt to the moto2 bike quickly and shake things up a bit there next season!

Hopefully he'll adapt better than Marquez or Kent to the Moto 2 bike. Chuffed for him and what a great battle. Awesome race with the pressure.

Main race started good and got a bit dull sadly.

I suspect it has nothing to do with losing points to Marquez and everything to do with beating his team mate.
My guess is JL has written the championship off, but to be able to beat VR when JL has had such a hopeless mid season, would probably mean a lot to him.

He beat VR fair and square. End of.

Second place isn't all that bad at that level especially the way the last few months results have been I'd celebrate too. Rossi acknowledged his mistake braking so can't see any issue there.

I'm afraid I've not been keeping up with the latest forum team meetings, but are we still permitted to say 'end of'? I only ask after I made such an awful mess during the lol-gate debacle, and I'm not convinced that I'm fully recovered from that time someone said 'simple as' when it really wasn't simple.

If someone could update me as to the latest ruling, I'd be grateful.
