Just got around to watching this "race", because that was not a race, that was a massacre. Marquez, Pol and Crutchlow had the same god damn crash. Shocked

Same with Bradl and Iannone, both crashing into other riders. Crazy!

Seeing Rossi win the race and Bradley tearing up at his first podium in MotoGp was quite special.

Philip Island always provides fantastic racing, what a treat to get three proper races in a weekend. And a fantastic showing for the brits across all three classes too.

Such a shame about Cal, but it shows he is still capable of running at the front, plenty of doubters about that (myself included).

Nice one today, crazy living in that place with all that humidity, everyone was drenched.

Crutchlow must be so happy leaving Ducati behind with all the issues he had with that bike. Didn't finish again... Neutral

So happy to see Rossi being so competitive once again https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g239/trinaowens/Love-4.png

What an epic Moto3 race. My enthusisasm and general liking of Miller has gone down as the season has gone on, hes come across as a petulant teenager. He wasn't exactly gracious in defeat on the cooldown lap either. I'd like to be proved wrong but I think he'll go up to GP, not be that special, and regret not taking a year in Moto2. Fair play to Rins and Marquez did a solid job overall.

Moto2 was pretty boring in comparison. The GP was interesting enough but I'm really looking forward to the test now!

Miller is a little bitch and I'm so glad he didn't get the title.

He said if it wasn't for Aragon he'd have the title. Well who's fault was that?

He can give it but not take it.

Anyway, in 2010 Marc Marquez won the 125 crown at Valencia on his 46th GP start. In 2014 Alex Marquez won the Moto3 crown at Valencia on his 46th GP start... I like Alex Marquez. Can you imagine being MM's younger brother? Big boots to fill. He's getting a few laps on an RCV as a reward. Smile

Redding testing a proper Honda. Can't wait. Thumbs Up

Testing times are pretty meaningless.

You never know who's on low fuel load/full power etc. etc.

Some of the testing schemes are so cool. Thumbs Up

The MarcVDS Honda looks sweet. Probably not what it will look like on the grid next year but they should think about it.

I hope next year will be more of a challenge for MM. If Rossi actually managed to keep up with him that would make him immortal. That is, more immortal than he already is. Mr. Green
