    Was avoiding this thread and Eurosport all morning till I got a chance to see the races. Shocked about Simoncelli. Brings home how much these guys risk every time they climb on a bike :-(

    I am due a trip to a GP alright but I'm torn between Assen for Moto GP or Brands Hatch for WSB or possibly go to the TT for a week of debotchery

    Now I'm not a Stoner fan but did you see his fastest lap in QP, the last corner in particular :eek::eek::eek:. He really knows how to work that Honda. Great ride by De Puniet too.

    Big off for Dovi near the end, I hope he is not too sore. Sixth for Rossi.

    Shame to see Zarco crash but Terol is a thoroughly deserving world champion

    He had to push and give it all. Terol is thoroughly deserving champion he rode the best all year long, just a shame the wonder kid vinales couldn't get closer in points.

    Shame alright, shaping up to be a great race though. I wonder will it rain?


    EDIT:
    Cortese down, looks like parts are getting wet alright.

    Should get to the end of the race though. Looks like it should be a good finish, Faubel will have a free run at Terol and he has always gone well here in the past(won it a couple of times) and Vinales will want to end the year on a high. Terol has the title clinched so he'll go all out for the win. Great last couple of laps!

    125cc crasy kids going hell for leather with little or no regard for their own safety, thats what makes it such good racing.
    Moto 3 will have a lot to live up to next season

    I really wish British Eurosport had the live coverage for the MotoGP class and post race analysis/interviews for all classes too. They far surpass the BBC.
    I love they way they get current or past riders into the commentary box during races.

    Cant see this race going to the flag, it looks like it is going to start raining heavier now and with slicks on it could get very dangerous. Wouldnt be surprised to see a red flag and a five lap "dash for the cash"
