Huh!?? I thought Moto2 was "mega" but rather 125 was a little disappointing....

Sorry. Poorly expressed. I thought Moto2 was the best.

Hell no! The racing wasn't that great, it was never going to be. The championship situation though was really tense and I was on the edge of the seat (so to speak) throughout.

I liked the shot Marquez' father standing there with his fingers crossed.

Roll on 2011.

i think mr spies showed another quality that will serve him well.He let Simoncelli and Dovi wear each other out .They were slowing each other up,and he waited and waited and then took advantage.He is starting to remind me of Eddie Lawson.
Simoncelli demonstrated that he will pass anyone anywhere anytime.he doesnt care if he thinks he can get away or not.I think Dovi has the pace but lacks that little bit of killer instinct or that last little bit of confidence in the front grip.I like to think its the latter as he showed in the 250s he wasnt afraid of mixing it

Yeah, watching Spies mincing around saving his tyres so he can mug a few racers at the end... riveting stuff. Give me Simoncelli everytime. :laugh:

Disagree. The situation was not tense at all as Marquez rode well within himself as he only needed to be in the top 12 to win the championship. He was in NO danger of falling off and losing. Well done to young Bradders though. Finally a non Spaniard wins a 125 race.

It's a pity you weren't in his team garage, then, to give them a few words of reassurance. Tense is what they looked like to me.

That was possibly the least exciting 125 race I've ever seen. ("After you, senor Espargaro." "You're too kind, senor Marquez.") But rivetting nonetheless.

Oh yes, they were ALL exciting!!! Be hard to beat

Spies is the man, though Simoncelli did ride very well


That biff of Haydens looked massive, such a shame he was riding well!
