Most exciting rider in MotoGP this year, huge potential.

R.I.P Marco. Very sad news, I felt sick.

alanmcqueen · 23-10-2011 10:54AM

Can't believe it. Most promising and exciting rider in years. Very sad day for MotoGP. RIP.

RIP, My heart goes out to his family and the other racers, in particular to Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.

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 :-(

Just wondering is anyone heading to the race in Valencia?

I wish, haven't been to a GP in 2 years:(

Sure that just means that you'll definitely be due a trip next year!

Me either - I was at Valencia 2 years ago and it was fantastic! Saving for Motegi next year.

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.

pdbhp · 06-11-2011 10:24AM

Spots of rain on the camera, gonna make it interesting!

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

If Moto2 is anything to go by I cant wait for it!

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.

h3000 · 06-11-2011 11:25AM

Their falling like flies.

EDIT: big one for Takahashi hope he is okay.

frostie500 · 06-11-2011 11:36AM

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"

frostie500 · 06-11-2011 11:40AM

Takahashi OK after crash according to Fausto Gresini, he doesnt remember the crash but otherwise is OK.

Good. He knocked his head fairly hard alright.

Pirro starting to pull away again, would be amazing to see him win this one
