I'm lucky - the Mrs likes it - but only when they crash!  :rolleyes

Being poor folk, we have to put up with the highlights only, unless some nice person manages to upload the race in full to YouTube and I can download it before Dorna get their mitts on it! Unfortunately doesn't happen that often.

Yeah, was a good race. Will be even better if someone other than Marquez takes the title at the end of the year. Oh and talking of the guy himself, I thought it was a good example of his preferential treatment that he didn't get black flagged for his behaviour. they guy is definitely going to get someone seriously injured if he doesn't stop his all or nothing approach.

I'd like to see Vale get his 10th title, but I can't see it happening, and Crutchlow just isn't consistent enough imho. Dovi would be a good champ - he comes over a decent type.

Yeah black flag should have a vote as he barged more than one, im in awe of his speed and how he manages to save from crashing, but certainly not how he treats other riders, i just wish i could have seen him against Stoner on the same bike two different era,s thou really.

Seems  to me it's ok to swap paint in moto3 and moto2 but if Marquez swaps paint with another rider he's the devils child. I agree he has a win it or bin it attitude but that's why he's the rider the rest have to beat to take this years title.  Crutchlow he'll never be world champ while he's got a hole in his arse.

I was well impressed with Alex Marquez after Saturday quali. The two of them in the after quali press conference were like night and day. From their attitudes alone I would have thought Alex was the older one, if I didn't know. I think that's Mark's problem - he needs to grow up a bit imho.
