    I read it somewhere - and mentioned it in this forum IIRC - assuming you are referring to the group following Miller through the pits.

    Mike Webb doesn't have to hear a complaint, if he thinks it's too tough he can take action. The final was always going to have hard passes, same as all the other Moto3 races. Just like Miller said before the race.

    Credit to his ability for being able to back off a bit, try and fuck Marquez up, then get back out in front.

    But it looked a lot to me like he tried to run him off the track. The commentators didn't know what to say either, so it wasn't just me who saw it that way.

    I think the commentators have made a career from not knowing what to say!

    I thought Miller put some pretty hard moves on Marquez, but I've never raced, so can't say if it was "just racing". I have had a bit of experience with dickheads though, and young Jack was, without a doubt, being a monumental one.

    Still, he is young, so hopefully someone will knock some sense into him

    Yep, the commentators are pretty good at screwing it up. But they saw it and sorta trailed off after mentioning "that was a hard pass..."

    The rider's rider of the year. This is all explained in the text, I hope it's big enough. Just in case; every MotoGP rider votes for who he thinks are the top six riders, he may not vote for himself. The votes are secret except that ianoni would only vote for five as he considered all the others to be at the same level. Interesting in a number of respects as this is how the riders rate each other.

    Yep. Hasn't exactly made a name for himself, other than Cal "Crasher" Crutchlow.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I just realised I didn't watch Pedro much this year, 6th !
    Iannnnone has had some great rides, I would have rated him a lot higher Pritch ?
    The older Asparagas had some good races too.
    Good thing you posted I was getting ready to put up Nigella thru boredom.
    I see both calenders are out,WSB and GP.
    Its probably best having two weeks between Italy and Catalunya.
    One week and I'm tempted again.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Well I think even he would agree he didn't have a good year. He definitely needs a better 2015. The other ummm oddities (?) for me were Pedro's placing, that'll hurt, along with the inclusion of Redding and the ommision of Hayden.

    Anyhow that's how the experts saw it.

    The way I read the whole Miller/Marquez situation post Aragon was this: Miller thought Marquez was in the wrong with how he took him off the bike, race direction said no.
    Miller then chose to run the same line that Marquez did on him, every single time that he put a passing maneuver on him for the following rounds.

    So basically race direction ruled it legal, Jack decided to test the legalities out and put some very hard moves on Alex. Whether you think it's fair play or not is up to you. All I know is that his ability to put the bike on the track exactly where he wanted it was outstanding.
    And if his mate Danny Kent hadn't of ran a tad wide in the last lap at Valencia we may have had a happier Miller at the end of the race (he certainly had a good run on Alex). Miller should have behaved better after the race that is for sure, but it gave us something to talk about didn't it? He needs to be careful though as his sponsors will not put up with that kind of carry on with their brand plastered all over his bike.

    He's looking good on the Motogp bike, lets hope he keeps his head and show's us that you don't need to be Spanish to win a championship in a few years time.

    So glad to see Melandri back in Motogp, lets hope Aprilia give him a good bike eventually.

    Melandri will only be there for a year, if he isn't fired half way through the season for being old and slow.

    I thought it was a bit shit the white shirt he put on in Parc ferme. Final race of the season and you go and cover up all your sponsors advertising for the podium and press conference.

    But then again if I was a sponsor, with his attitude on the day I don't think I would want my company name next to the chip on his shoulder.
