    ...I like his style, but I'm with you on the sentiments...I can only imagine the party back in the UK...I like Vales style too...and MMs style, whatever you think of him, is unnervingly cool and consistent now...

    His calling the other riders whimps for their tyre choice was a bit out of order tho its an easy D when youve no championship to race for.

    Rossi thought it was the wrong team decision early on and clearly Jorges meltdown concurred to.

    Cool race.

    We'll take 'Silver' with both hands Valentino !
    Had my doubts at 5 laps in tho !!!!!!

    Another lottery with tyres and wet.

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

    Really enjoyed that race, there's going to be questions asked about the Mitchie front though as it letting go that early for Dovi should not happen. Poor bastard just wants to win a race!

    CC rode like a champ, he's a bit of a knob but props to him for good riding! I hope he doesn't win any more though as I couldn't stand Nick Harris wanking on about how long he's been murdering peoples ear holes with his dribble. A verly verly long long time.

    JL lost his marbles a bit I think, he was putting in some excellent lap times and could have managed a 4th or 5th I think, could have, should have, would have, didn't. Can't blame him for giving it a shot though, could have been a "Master stroke".

    MM is riding like the best rider in the world this year, can't get over how much he has changed since last year, still did some still stuff like nearly taking out Rossi when he went by (did anyone else see that?). Poor Dani can't seem to catch a break, I'm thinking these tyres just aren't for him. Still 4th in the champ though which shows why he's on that machine.

    I thought I misheard that. What a dick! But props for climbing up from 15th all the way to 1st.

    Huge next level respect to Iannone, pushing very hard on those soft tyres and managed to finish the race! I was so hoping for another win for Iannone!

    Lorenzo WTF



    Moto3 was enjoyable. What a chaos! All top riders crashing out 5-7 laps before the finish. So much thrill!

    I just finished watching the race and it certainly wasn't boring.

    It was a bit startling to read the comments about Crutchlow here though. He is a famously funny guy, and is noted for being about the most humorous guy in the paddock. Perhaps some hereabout should check their funny bone? On the other hand if some native English speakers missed the humour, some of the translations into Spanish and Italian could be problematical.

    One thing I do like about him is he's an honorable family guy. Dedicated to his wife and newly born daughter. Calling his wife just after finishing races (on both podium finishes) I think that was pretty sweet thing to do.

    Cecchinello puts on a great piss up. Been to a couple myself,Bunny girls and all !

    Like this quote from Motomatters forum:
    I know rain is the great equalizer but for Lorenzo,it would seem to have become the great paralyzer.

    We need people like Cal, something about you can usually trust someone who swears all the time because you know they aren't bullshitting you. You don't get fluffy crap from Crutchlow.

    I have to say I've been struggling to back him, I like his rough style when he's not moaning (he's a pom what do you expect?) MotoGP needs variety.


    Also be interesting to see what MM team do to permanently remedy the slippery wet tank on his bike for Flag to flag. He nearly fell on his face changing bikes during warm up. I see they added double sided tape to the top of it as a temporary fix.

    Funnily enough, he was going ok before he came in to the pits.

    Yeah,with the Doocatis in 1,2,and 3 positions early in the race you'd never guess the finish we had,huh ?

    I think we're safe in the knowledge CC won't perform like that again in a hurry? Unless of course it pisses down at Silverstone, next up.
