Heads up Dutch MotoGP on today

[woof]

Just a heads up - that the motoGP is on today - not Sunday as is traditional with those crazy Dutch

[woof]

and the 125 race was a scorcher !!

[Simes205]

cheers for the heads up.

the 125 race was one of the greatest races i have ever seen, those last laps were simply mindblowing...

Gutted for Bradley, he had it in the bag before it started raining. The guy hasn't had a lot of luck recently

does it look like it will be wet for the motogp race too?

[dmitsi]

Maybe, the rain is on and off. 250 race has just had the start delayed as it's starting to rain again.

WOW to the end of the 125's, shame for Bradley but all those passes made me dizzy.

[LocoBlade]

Just started raining for the 250 race, but according to the commentary it looks like it will only be a shower.

Rain might be good for Toseland, he seemed comparatively quicker in the wet yesterday than in the dry.

Any links to where I can watch it online?

I know I'm only a few years behind the times but just started watching Moto GP. Mr Pitstop just pointed out what else the A-style logo looks like How do they get away with that!!!

It should be available on BBC iPlayer at somepoint in the near future.

Can anyone tell me why Stoner got booed on the podium at Donnington? Apparently its not the first time it's happened.

Not the Dutch - A-Style is Italian and sponsor the Motegi GP as well as Assen.

I really felt for Bradley after the 125 race. He commented that he was pointing at the sky to try to show the race directors it was raining, but they only red flagged it when people, him included, started crashing. He showed towards the last couple of laps that he can race, he was just too tentative at the restart and gave himself too much work to do.

I was at Assen for the MotoGP and the 125 race was pretty great.

Hats off to Casey Stoner for winning by a country mile but to be honest Rossi stole the race..

Yes he came 3rd from last but after his early crash,he must of been atleast 20 seconds or so behind the last place man Marco Melandri and i just assumed he would pretty much give up but it was amazing watching him claw back the time (i think over 2 seconds a lap) and go on to overtake Melandri and then Alias before the end of the race.

The Dutch crowd love Rossi and the grandstand were doing a mexican wave as he went past each lap.
Without that i think the race would of been pretty processional.

And you gotta feel sorry for Hayden running out of fuel yards before the finish line and losing 3rd place..

Only other thing i can say is Colin Edwards standing next to Stoner and Pedrosa looks like a tall bloke standing next to 2 kids autioning to be Munchkins.. Was a funny sight..

He seemed to steal the WSBK race too judging by the amount of time the director was focussing on him standing at the side of the track.

I didnt see that.. i guess that was on TV.. Wouldn't surprise me.. Rossi does seem to be rather popular.. At Assen i was starting to believe he was Dutch..
