Not a fan of this circuit...three straights and a couple of left-handers...nice location though! :-)

Well it stayed dry and sounds like a belter from what I've read. Highlights on C5 on Monday at 7pm this week.

Yep it was a great race. Dovi is looking like the only contender to Marquez for the championship at the moment.

what a race. marquez and dovi were brilliant today. how do ducati make that soft tyre last the whole race. dovi gestured to marc, like he thought the last corner move was a bit strong. what does he expect? marc to just follow him over the line? he's always going to attack. that's why he's so good to watch.

Thats sent the 'Rossi should have won in 2015 group' in to a frothing frenzy that one...Marquez is still dangerous apparently. For fuck sake. |

I think Lorenzo flattered to deceive, MM & Dovi pegged it back for the first half of the race JL wen't WFO off the line and paid the penalty. I hope Ducati have money in the kitty to pay Dovi properly next year cos he's the defacto No1 there.

Id be surprised if the roles weren't reversed next year...JL seems to be (slowly) getting to grips with the Ducati... As a side note, by fucking christ that bike is fucking gopping |

Good races. Just watched.
Shame for McPhee, he was looking good.
Dovi is really showing that he wants it.
Factory Yam need to think what they are doing. MV has won 3 races but seem to making no headway. Can only make the bike work with hard tires.
Good to see Kallio getting 10th

That was the best race of the season bar none. Dovi was brilliant but you have got to admire Marquez for his tenacity. His save at turn whathisname when he lost 3 bike lengths was brilliant, his front was locked up but he still managed to stay on the black stuff plus a bit of black and red stuff. He made that back up by the end of the lap and Dovi was wise enough to expect a move, nearly contact on the last corner. Brilliant. Dovi's wave was more like a brush off than an angry wave.
Downside for me was knowing the result thanks to talksport announcing it on sunday evening and me a channel 5 catch up cunt. It took me unawares cos usually bike racing is about as popular as indoor bowls when it comes to media coverage, unless there's a fatality at the TT and they're all over it like a rash. Cunts.

Even knowing what happened it was still good to watch. We haven't seen 3 abreast a couple of times in 1 race for a while.
4th time this year a Tech-3 Yamaha has been 1st Yamaha, I'm cant remember this happening so much in he past. Riders or machinery?
