Starting to think the Honda is like some demon bike that demands a crash sacrifice.

Apparently Acosta is already a regular R1 rider so moving up to the 'big bikes' shouldn't be a problem given road bikes weigh more than GP ones anyway.

No broken bones for Pol apparently!
Bounces better than Dani then.

Good for Acosta he had the championship done before that incident. He left a gap, lunge from Foggia who only just kept it on the track.

Pity Foggia ruined the fairytale finale for Acosta, never mind….title in the bag. Good race and hell of a ride by Masia.

Nervy race for Gardner to clinch it. He won 5 races with 1 DNF, Fernandez 8 & 3. The pair of them at a level above the rest.

Onco is fast but have a feeling it not going to end well. M2,...... Mgp, Ducati are going to be the ones to beat next year. What will happen to Rins. Suzuki must be pissed off by now. VR, good last race, out with his head held high. Bet thats going to be a fun party.

If they can suss the reason why he is crashing, he will get podiums. Today it looked like he was sucked in a bit by Bagnaia taking a slightly different line. Is it his concentration going? Just looking at it again and he was in too hot. Is that how he has been crashing this year, a bit too fast into corners and losing the front?

Just caught up with it all.
Moto3. Binder gonna Binder. Foggia....racing incident. Good race I guess but once the title is done these things lack a certain tension.
Moto2. Fernandez did what he had to, Gardner almost did less than he had to, kept thinking he could lose it when he went down to 11th. Think Acosta will go well on that bike next year.
Motogp. Not a thriller but ruined a bit by Rins binning it and Martin not really having enough in hand to really made any sort of challenge. Obviously it was the end of an era and I do think there will be a slightly odd feel about a Rossiless grid next year.
Not sure about this Stoner commentary, straight talking got a bit boring after a while and Stoner sort of looks like he'd rather be doing something else.

Great moto3.
Dogshit moto2.
Poor motogp.
Fuck the shit track off please.
Being diplomatic, so underwhelmed by the Brits.

Moto 3 was cool. Was hoping for Oncu to do well. Glad Binder crashed. Moto 2 was OK. Glad Remy won. Moto GP was predictable.
No more to say.

The Rossi send off was somehow a bit underwhelming? I don't know what I expected but I thought it would be more than a long lap and some chanting in the garage.
It was a bit sad that Hodgson was completely wrong and there were no one off leathers or bike livery. Corporate wins even over Valentino Rossi.
