Here we go then our home round.

Gp- Will a pissed off Marquez walk over the rest of the field, will pedrobot continue his winning streak (not certain if 1 race can be classed as a winning streak) or will lorenzo have flash backs from last year and beat Marquez?

Moto2- Hopefully kalio gives rabat a good fight, fingers crossed lowes gets on the podium.

Moto3- How the fk do you guess the winner in this class, will fennati return to form, will masbou grab another win, will bastianini get on the podium again.

Campers loaded, spot of lunch then i'm off to silverstone.

Ok Fleegle...if that indeed IS your real name!



As for silverstone, it's not a track I'm fond of for spectating (didnt enjoy my motogp experieince in 2011) but it does produce excellent racing, no doubt in part due to the flowing nature of the track and how wide it is allowing for several lines

Had a pretty good day at the Day of Champions today. I ended up buying Dominique Aegerter's gloves. True story.

Same here. As I understand it he hasnt had many opportunities to really test the machine, only at tight circuits. I read he was hoping to get some time at dongington, but did that happen? It would have been a cuircuit quite analogous to silverstone i.e. sweeping fast bends, adn could have provided some important information and set-up direction

It will be wonderful to see him finish the race, I hope he does

Great lap from Redding, and that wasn't his best last sector time.
If he can get a clear race without getting stuck behind too many prototypes in the fast corners he could be one to watch this weekend!

He was on course for a better time when he came off in sector 4.
Hadn't seen that, been at work, am a huge Camier fan and this is real 'shop window' time for him, he should definately have a ride next year be it MGP / WSB or BSB but if I'm being honest I think he's better than BSB .... and a great lad too.

Marc absolutely blitzing it without even trying. Pedrosa seem to be sliding it out of a few turns and losing time (looked cool!) while the set up on Rossi's bike (deifnitely FP1) looked like a pogo stick. Good day out smile

Marquez just went over the line to put in a 2.019 lap & on next few corners I was thinking... he's over the limit & gonna crash.... and he did!

looks Ok apart from a slight limp.
