You should stop holding back and tell us what you really think.

Truly impressive ride from Jorge today. He's won me over this year. His pathetic antics in the past did not impress me - I thought he was a tosser.

But he's fought incredibly hard to defend his title and this ride was just so impressive. He's not likely to win it - Marquez only has to finish higher than 4th to take the title. But then, you never know what is going to happen in the final round.

Horhays' really,REALLY, going to try and unsettle him at Valencia. Maybe more biff than usual, I hope.

I dont think JLo can upset MM with any intimidation tactics.I think MM can bash fairings with the best of them.I think MM will go for the win,and maybe crash.otherwise if Jlo is on fire MM will settle for second.I think DP is enough of a team man not to injure MM chances.I think jlo only hope is to involve cc and vr and bautista,but if that happens i think MM has the outright speed and aggression to win any battle like that.
It has the potential to be very intersting,and moto 3 wow who would of thought its now 3 men within 5 points

Some very lucky riders after that Pileup in Moto2....flashes of Tomizawa while it was unfolding.
Well done Pol !!

I dont think there was a replay of Alexis crashing, did he jump or fall?

Though anybody can go upside down real easy,when pushed by a close scrap.
Young,hot Spanish blood, we'll have to wait and see what JLo can generate?

Go Vale !!!!!!

I seem to recall Sky wanting to restrict access to live action on MotoGP.com.

We were recording it live and watched it a couple times. he definitely jumped. The bike initially dove when he hit the brakes but it seemed to come straight back up again, maybe either he had a brake issue or his throttle jammed. He was definitely angry with the bike though.

I just watched this which includes it (free video):

Maybe it just seemed like a weird way to ditch the bike to me so i thought he fell.
