    This was his last chance in Moto3 and, sadly, I don't see him getting a seat in Moto2 unless this year is exceptional.
    His passport will give him one there...

    His passport can't help him much, this is his last year in Moto3, he'll be too old next year. I can't see Moto2 teams lining up to sign him.

    I wondered like everyone else how long he could keep riding the way he did....

    He's still bloody fast !

    Dovi is proving its all up hill for him (as I predicted !).
    Reckon he'll be gone next year ?????????

    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Interestingly, the guys on CRASH were saying that suzuki are now having problems with their power now, too much - bad tyre wear etc

    Swings and roundabouts.. I guess it might be easier to manage more power, than try and find it when you dont have it though

    Take note Fabio, too much of something, is bad enough (bad enough), as performed by the 90's urban poets from the UK, the Spice Girls.

    Everyone except the Bastianini had tyre problems at Losail, so I wouldn't read too much into that race, or even this weekend's. It is a long season.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Yep. The action has started already. Not that Spark seems to have noticed.

    If anyone is interested and hasnt watched the hours of crash podcasts (I listen to it while working)

    They're picking
    Pol, MM, FQ, in that order.

    Mir, Bastinini, Marini was the other choice.

    Interesting. Speed is down about 30KMH from last weekend - should be interesting to watch how it plays out..

    I'm still picking Rossi or Casey Stoner for the win, because I have no frickin idea.

    Rossi is probably over it. Stoner for the win
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Nice one Fabio on pole his bike looked the least likely to throw its rider off compared to the rest of the entire field, so many front and rear slides made watching Q1 & Q2 quite nerve wrecking.

    Pramac boys make up the front row.

    If Fabio can get clear out front from the start so he can keep his front tyre cool the race is his.
