Were I Burgess, I think I'd just retire and fuck off home. He's not gonna be short of a dollar or two, whatever team he did go to isn't gonna find another Marquez for a few years, and the guy's getting on a bit.

Who needs the bloody drama?

Can't disagree with that. Although, there could be a tasty position going with Aprilia for the next year or so...

i would think Mr Honda might be quite keen to have someone overseeing development of their production racer.....or maybe not

Yeah, except he had a contract for another year and would have budgeted for that income, to have it chopped off would cause a fairly major reappraisal.

If nothing suitable was forthcoming there are always those commentators and journalists who are imminentliy to be made redundant by BT having taken over the motorcycle racing coverage in Britain from Eurosport and the BBC. JB's memoirs should have the makings of a decent book - I'd buy it.

Me too. JB has a penchant for 'saying it as it is'. (Except maybe at his last press conference?) So it's bound to be a great read.

Moto3 is nicely poised with the three contenders on the front row of the grid.

last round just starting now....
jezz there is a crowd there

[Tony.OK]

Epic first 10 laps................best I've seen in in years.
Whoever reckons Dani ain't got any mongrel in him will be eating their words. Knew I liked him for a reason.

Lorenzo................balls of steel

MM was looking very much like his Repsol predecessor with some beauty driftwork.........and proved he has a mature head on his shoulders

All I can say now is..............BRING ON NEXT SEASON!!!!

Just 4 points in it at the end. Who knows what may have happened if JL had a team-mate capable of lifting a few points from the Hondas during the race...or the season...

Yeah but bit like saying *if* MM didn't lose his points at Phillip Island should Lorenzo have won the title. Matters not. The right man won the title fair and square.

Epic first 10 laps...

And to think that was because Lorenzo deliberately slowed the pace in the hope he could get a hand from the others to scrap with Márquez... Fantastic rides from Jorge and Dani!

Suck it up haters.

Absolutely staggering race - well, at least the first 10 laps. Good on Lorenzo and Pedrosa for showing that they still have the speed and the mongrel.

Yamaha is in the shit while they still have Rossi in the team. Even with Lorezo riding round with the handbrake on Rossi was unable to match the pace and help out.

Should be great season next time round - I'm really looking forward to the Open Class - will be a strong mid-pack with the new Hondas, Yamahas, and hybrids. Bring it on.
