I'm not going, too many track days to pay for.

Bradders has signed for another year, that puts him in the mix with the other factory riders who are all up for grabs in 2016.

Cal just signed with LCR for another 2 years. Best move for him, some stability and its not like he'll get a factory ride again. Honda apparently like him as he's the best non-alien to try and make the RC213V work:

Let's pray for a little more rain.

Looking good for the British riders.....so far.

Minimoto feature was fun.

The main event was a bit of a nail biter, towards the end.
If you ain't seen it, it's well worth a watch!
WTF was Miller up to? Rolling Eyes

Your prayers were answered. Mr. Green

Superb ride there from Danny Kent, in appalling conditions. Made up for the lad. Thumbs Up

I was there. Great atmosphere, great day. Weather was rubbish. Cal remounted, then went in, and came back out on slicks just to wave to the crowd. Fair play to him.

So that's Honda out of the championship race.
Looks like it's a straight fight between Rossi and Lorenzo and if Vale can get into and mess with Jorge's head he'll add another world title to his list!

I hope Valentino does it!

I'd love Valentino to but he's due a bad race or two. He was sensational yesterday, totally peerless. I don't particularly like Marquez but people cheering his crash is not fair game. And that actually helped Lorenzo.

It it was someone here who handed in my keys then I owe you big time. Could have been my day ruined.

By Vale's own admission JLo had him beat in the dry. Re: misting visor, his last three laps were quicker than Dovi's. I'd hazard a guess that he was searching for excuses, again. Misano next, Rossi's back yard. After that, most tracks suit JLo.

Had a fiver on Cal to get a podium at 10/1 so I was especially gutted.

Kent and Zarco were both superb, again. I'm glad Kent will go up to Moto2 next year, he needs to be in the mix for factory GP contracts in 2017 for the new rules.

It will be interesting to see what HRC do now. They're, almost, certainly out of the championship race.
Very predictably they'll go into face saving mode and try to disrupt Yamaha as much as they can. If both MM & DP are both getting onto the podium, splitting the Yamahas, it's going to go right down to the wire.
IMO, Lorenzo's a bit flaky when it comes to mind games, Rossi on the other hand has always been the master when it comes to out-psyching opponents.
The only way the championship's going to anyone other than Yamaha, is going to be DNF's!

I went on the Sunday and it was my first GP in person. Loved it despite the rain!

Was sat at Copse most of the day as it was close to the paddock, a friend of mine has contacts in the GP paddock and managed to swindle us paddock passes. It was an experience being around all of the racers as they get ready for the race and not only having Marquez or Lorenzo just walk past you Mr. Green , also met quite a few of them and most of them seem like decent people while some of then are wankers. Thumbs Up

Will definitely try and get there next year, hopefully the weather will be better but it didn't dampen the day..... Rolling Eyes
