MOTO GP yesterday
Discussion
Forget the MotoGP, what about the 250 race? Julian Ryder almost had a heart attack it was so good with Lorenzo, Bautista and Dovi just nurfing each other about for the entire race. For anyone who doesn't watch the smaller bikes thinking they're not as good, give them a try.
The 125's was a bit disappointing, fist the pole sitter gets sent to the back after his bike nak's. Then about 3 laps in he's moved from 35th to 9th and then takes out Bradley Smith - the 16 year old Brit. Poor lad, at least he got back on and finished.

It was on BBC2 
They showed some of the 250 coverage via the interactive thingy.The 250 race was rampant! Absolutely bloody terrific. On the basis that there is more than one line through a corner, these guys took them all at once.
If it was slow in, fast out, someone would beat you 'in'; if you're fast in and slow out, two would have you 'out'! Brilliant racing.
Winner was like a bull fighter. Intense it was.
For me, Rossi was peerless. As a race I can see it disappointed this week because Rossi didn't have to come from a long way back or whatever it needs for folk with a short attention span to appreciate. But as an example of on the edge consistent lappery with absolutely no mistakes, his run was of the very highest order.
Is it me or are these bikes so much easier to handle over last year's?

I'm not sure who has the best celebration yesterday, Jorge with his "Lorenzo Land" flag planting it in the sand trap or Rossi's 10 pin bowling effort. Still doesn't beat his visit to the port-a-loo a few years back though or the Hawaiian shorts, shirt and sandals that he changed into half way round the slowing down lap

I don't think it's an attention-span issues, it's just that a lot of threads go on about how F1 is dull and MotoGP is so much more exciting and when a race like this happens you can hardly blame people for disagreeing.

I'm still in the process of getting my dad off the lure of Suzi Perry on BBC2 and over to Ryder, Moody and Mamola on Eurosport. Hopefully after the 250 race which I forced him to watch he should be convinced.

Did anyone else find the BBC coverage very annoying? The fact that they only broadcast it in 4:3 picture size wound me up. Think i'll watch it on Eurosport from now on.

I need to change the settings on the box to sort the BBC`s 4:3...eurosport commentry is better but there are too many ads ..
I found the race rather dull in comparison to the usual quality...a shame, Jerez is usually a cracker...perhaps the TC is looking after the tyres too well , taking some of the hairier sliding/danger out of the corner exits...

Tony Elias was doing his best to get the bike sideways!!
