That would be I'm guessing as it's shown on Prime.

Delayed coverage Mon @ 11.30 pm I believe.

I'm hoping my short term memory will let me forget I know who one!!

Yeah was on this 'arvo Malaysian time, I just checked it on MotoGP website http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/index.htm. I'm a tight arse that won't pay for TV so no Sky at my place and I can't get Prime any more since my masthead amplifier pooped out and I haven't had the aerial man back for a while to fix it. Finn you would sympathise as I can't get the Maori channel anymore as well as its on UHF too.

Race started at 7 pm our time, watched it on the MotoGP site, all I can say is you HAVE to watch it, best race I've seen in ages!!!

I called Sky to ask if they could take the maori channel off. They had the cheek to ask why so I just told them I would allow it back in my house when they started behaving themselves.

**Warr** · 10th September 2006, 21:32

Can anyone figure out the championship points ?

**merv** · 10th September 2006, 21:52

OK year to date points are here.

Hayden 214, Pedrosa 192, Rossi 188. Getting close.

**Ghost Lemur** · 10th September 2006, 23:00

That was a brilliant race. Rossi and Caparossi were truely having fun. Had me on the edge of my seat.

Damn superhuman performance by Pedrosa. Broken foot and a gash in his knee that "could fit a teaspoon in", and he still managed to hold on for third. Damn that's got to mindfuck Hayden.

BRING ON PHILIP ISLAND.

Anyone found a torrent yet? Definitely will be wanting to watch the race again.

125's were pretty dramatic. Crash on warm up (which I missed). Then 3 laps in Pasini in second highsides coming on to the straight. Manages to get off the track but not his bike. A 17 year old Italian comes out of anothers slipstream and just plows straight into Pasini's machine. Massive throw from the bike, hit the ground real hard (looked like he first landed in the sitting position, that's got to fuckin hurt, not to mention the chance of compressing the spine). Still no word on MotoGP.com as to his condition. It reminded me of that other hitting a downed bike on the straight collition from either earlier this year or last. Think that one was in the 250's though.

Superb effort by Pedrosa - 3rd out of 20 world-class riders is good by anyone's standards, but to do it with 2 broken toes on your gear foot and a hole in your knee is something else. He didn't seem all that stoked by the end of it tho' - having to be helped off the bike and limping to the podium.

Rossi gains another crucial 12 points and is now sitting just 26 points off the championship leader, Hayden. He's got a fighting chance now.

Seems like Hayden is starting to crack - he wasn't happy about Sepang and doesn't sound confident for Philip Is. Still, he continues to be the points leader and there's 4 races left to go, so anything can happen.

Looking forward to the next couple of weekends, back to back racing Australia and Japan~!

Here's a torrent for those without sky.

Err, you do realise that MotoGP isnt actually on Sky, don't you, and hasnt been for a couple of years now. Its on Prime.

And when did Pedrosa break his foot, only reports I've seen indicate a gashed knee?

**Ghost Lemur** · 11th September 2006, 20:32

Cheers for the link smokin.

Hopefully Hayden sucks hairy dogs bollocks at Philip Island and Japan. I want a cliff hanger race at Valencia with Rossi coming out on top. Would make this the season to remember.

Gav - Same accident. The commentators mentioned the foot injury during the race as well.

No word on the 125cc Italian kid yet. That's probably a good sign, must have just got banged up.
