First one of three in a row after the summer break.

Predictions?

Don't know if Yamaha will be using their seamless shift box yet - anyone?

Marquez for the win, rumour has it that Yam have been testing it including at Brno last week, not sure if the riders will use it yet or not? You gotta wonder what sorta edge itl give silky smooth Lorenzo!!

On that note itl be interesting to see how fit Lorenzo and pedrosa are following there shoulder problems.

As for cal, be interesting what answers he has for the media about the ducati choice!!

As far as I've read, there's more testing to be done. Lin Jarvis said it needs to be 100% reliable and safe. It might not be implemented until next season.
Expect all the Yamaha guys to loose a few tenths with it.

Simple, money, factory status and make of break for his ageing motogp career. If the Audi money doesn't help and he ends up leaving in two years he'll still have made loads of money. Then he'll have the chance to drop to a satelite/CRT bike in motogp or go back to WSB/BSB.

Cal said he's going to Ducati because he likes the colour red.

Spies out (again)
Maybe he should switch back to superbikes before it's too late.

The GP was excellent. Matt Oxley said on twitter that MM was riding like a 500 rider in turn 5, sliding it with no grip. 'Gyroscope up his arse' was the phrase I believe.

I think Cal might have got that place back had Battyboy not been there. Great battle though, I loved that. Smith mugging Dovi and Hayden was superb too Cool

The battle between the front 3 in Moto3 was good, so was Moto2. Chuffed to see Scott put Asparagus in his place again Thumbs Up

Cracking race, Rossi does make things interesting. Didn't Smith get a good start, too.

Echo the Redding comments, in your place Espargaro, that was a ballsy manouvre from Redding to keep his place..! Esteve Rabat had a cracking ride too.

Marquez rides that bike like it is an extension of his arm.

After he overtook Lorenzo he had a massive moment and he just rode it off like it was nothing.

Some brilliant racing and Rossi did what he does best.

I do want MM to have a DNF just to mix up the points again because he looks like he could dominate in the next few years.
