Whoa there, calm down son.

I just say as I see, and people either like it or like you, don't.

It is a forum, for discussion, points of view, opinions.

Misano is not the best track now, used to be til they change the direction!! Some fabulous 500 races there.

Interesting that MM has offered the handshake to Rossi and Vale declined, saying they get on fine. No idea why Marquez thinks this is necessary, as Rossi is no real threat anymore, but clearly he feels it is something he needs to do.

And obviously Lorenzo has to chip in.

At least Sunday's weather looks OK: https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/5day/l/23012:25:...
Could be an interesting grid if they are right about rain tomorrow.
MM or Dovi for the win!

& I shall be watching on BT Sport 2HD - hopefully Colin Edwards will feature, the coolest man on TV.

Herve not sounding very positive about Hafizh Syahrin, even sounding pissed off/disappointed. I wonder if he might get his contract cancelled for next year.

Used to be a highlight of the weekend watching Moto Gp..not sure i'll bother tbh after Silverstone debacle..it appears guys that we put on a 'heroic' platform are just as average as the rest of us and just out to make a few quid..like the rest of us.

Didn't a reporter ask them how there relationship was, MM said fine and went to shake hands but VR refused, it was just an in the moment hand shake I think.

Lorenzo for the win.

Rossi for the win ...

MM will DNF as he will have the royal ache about the snubbed handshake, grin or not ......

Lorenzo will go off the boil as Dovi and him end up dicing .... can foresee both ending up on the floor ......

Redding will be great value in any interview and Bradley will squeak his way to a top ten finish .......

Crutchlow will crash at some point this weekend .....

Chunder will continue complaining .......

The world will keep spinning .....

Burt Reynolds will still be dead .... RIP Burt ....

I see Bradley Smith has accepted an Aprilia test and wild card race ride for next year. He;ll be racing it in Qatar, Valencia I guess and then 3 in between. With moody Iannone riding it next year and Espargaro who's prone to a crash or 5 he might be out a few more times. Oh and riding the Aprilia in the Moto E class, busy boy.

Nah - the M1 is ste this year. I can't see Yamaha winning until this time next year, assuming massive strides are made over the winter. & anyway, how much longer can Rossi keep fit - he ain't getting any younger. I don't like to write him off, but I can't see him winning much more - maybe the odd fluke result where someone else crashes & its raining.

Marquez, Rossi, Lorenzo. As average as the rest of us.

Did you not see Rabat's crash? The bikes were aquaplaning. I've seen lively debates about whose fault the standing water was, but calling the riders average and out to make a few quid because they didn't want to race in potentially fatal conditions? Incredible.

Ah yea, its so very average racing a near 300bhp motorcycle, anybody could do it, in fact you should definitely have a pop yourself, bound to be easy.

I don't know how i feel about the whole Rossi, Marquez, situation, obviously there is a lot of history there but i can't help but think Rossi, just needs to get over it and move on as he's making himself look a bit silly completely ignoring and avoiding Marquez when they share podiums and in press conferences. But then there is the side of me where i think Rossi, obviously doesn't like Marquez, so why should he be forced to shake hands with him and pretend everything is fine.
