2 more weekends to go ( if you don't include this one )..........Just saying that's all

Silverstone weekend tickets paid for already

Will be good but I must admit I'm even more looking forward to April and BSB. To see how the Smiths team cope with the move up. The new Be Wiser pairing with Tommy Hill behind them. Whether Kiyo will be able to step it up a notch and fend off his teammate and the TAS if they cope well with a new bike. So much going on and traditionally way more battling than MotoGP.

Yeah I know what you mean Martin, but MotoGP is still the pinnacle of racing technology which has its own exciting moments, just less often ;) !!

Might bugger off to Le Mans round, dunno yet

Don't forget that if you can't make it to the circuit to watch then the Walkabout pub in Exeter will be showing it.

I'm going to attempt to come up to Exeter one weekend and watch it with you guys at the Walkabout. Depending on how I'm fixed kids, work etc. obviously...

That's how you start a season! What a race!!

Rossi = Entertainment

Yes it wasn't just him but the great duels usually involve him.

Roll on 2 weeks time

Have to agree, top race. Battle, battle, battle.

Almost felt sorry for Lorenzo, almost.

FAIR play to Marquez though, making up 14 places.

CONGRATS to Cal Crashlow too for finishing the race.

Recon this year may be an interesting one now,
Ducati boys are bloody quick and can't wait to see some 6 way battles mid season.

Fair play to the old dog, he still has a few tricks to show and marquee from last to 5th was an amazing feat even if he wasn't making any friends on the way through,

Finally managed to watch it last night. I have to admit that was more BSB than MotoGP. A season like that and I'll be a convert:-)

218mph and from what i could see still accelerating at the time they had to brake.

Just wanted to publicly eat my words. No way you could criticise the racing this year. Just watched Le Mans and Iannone, Marquez and the others dicing with repeated overtakes in a lap plus Lorenzo giving a master class on how to lead a race. Shame about Cal and Scott though.

We went to the pub and watched it on the big screens. With the full sound it was cool.

Couldn't help shouting at the screen a bit during the battle for 4th, 5th and 6th. I don't think it will be long before Smith gets a factory ride.

Lorenzo is good on that track, shame he is dull.

If only they would hold a round at Cadwell - Marquez over the mountain - hell yeah.

It was great! very much enjoying the success the Brits and Ducati are having this year too, and with Marquez struggling to be consistent it is getting interesting! At least Lorenzo didn't "leap/bicycle kick" off the podium this time..sigh.
