Ohhhh the arrogance!!

'I'm confident I could have battled for pole but I only had one new front tyre for qualifying and I crashed on it immediately'

Crutchlow was nowhere fucking near pole and is possible he may get top 5 but closer to 5 than 1 for sure!

He may be doing well this year but is still a bit of a douche

Lorenzo! What a machine!! Just continued to crank the Laps even when everyone else was slowing up

Normally rooting for dovi but really wish Bradl took his first podium

Rough that Rossi took Hayden!! I wish he had of got that

And stoner? What the fuck? That is all

Another yawn fest. Moto3 and Moto2 were great. Even the Italian fans knew before that MotoGP was going to be boring as about 10-20% left the track after Moto2. Another 20% left during the MotoGP race. Attendance was only 64000. Shows how much pull an in form Rossi would have.

The attendance figures may also be a little indicative that the Italian economy is very tits up. As for Lorenzo winning by going away its ''normal service resumed'' and its a joy to watch his smooth style and how that Yamaha when its set up right is on rails. The engineers have done a great job. I like that.

That's over 30 thousand down in attendance ! Watching from my lounge chair it didn't seem to be going off in normal Mugello fashion ? Best I've witnessed there was 96 thousand in 05, I'll be back next year.
Good to see Rossi climb to 5th as predicted by JB in spite of QP position.
Horhay, 'the black Mamba' was in serious mood.

Would you go back K14 ? Trains work out ?

Lorenzo is delivering a masterclass isn't he. Great rides by Dovi, Hayden and especially Bradl whose moved up to the next level. Rossi and Crutclow came strongly back up to podium contention.

Spies was ill but he's the guy that's opening up the gaps for the chasing riders... has a factory ride ever been more comprehensively shat upon?

Moto2 was great good to see Smith's bike getting more competitive.

Vinales has got the killer instinct.

The scary thing for the others is, I reckon he's still getting better year after year.

I know it don't make for good racing, but watching a guy that good, and that consistent is a privilege. It's not just the blistering speed, it's the precision and scary concentration that he brings to the whole race. Maybe Pedrosa can challenge him, now that he's fit and confident, but I'm not sure who else is up to the task.

I agree 100%. Some may call it boring, but to me, it's a privilege to see for sure.

Pretty easy to see why Yamaha are so keen to keep him.

This is cruel but who cares right?

Which titanic KB intellect came up with this gem?

"Jorge is screwed. I was wondering how long it would take Spies to do the same thing to Lorenzo he did to Mladin.

Out-qualify, out-race, finish better. Repeatedly. "

Answers on a postcard please.
