    Moto2 was nuts, once again putting MotoGP to shame. Every lap felt like a final lap! Redding was lucky to have Espargaro finish in 4th, limited damage to his lead

    As for MotoGP, assuming no injuries, my money's now on Marquez to take the championship. Seems he has Pedro and Jorge completely figured out. That MotoGP bike of his was made to look like a Moto2 bike the way he was sliding it around. That kid is something else entirely. It must be utterly infuriating for Lorenzo (etc) to see him coming past

    Let my temper get the better of me today. The minute Cal fell I turned the TV off and watched the rest later in the day

    Too much pressure on himself to make up the lost positions at the start and to try to stick with mm/dp/jl :(

    or practise crashing for next year? :D

    Cal tends to do his best laps when "angry" - but then also has a tendency to over-push.

    Love to see him on a Honda actually, bet his riding style would suit that bike.

    Maybe if we can turn Cal into Carlos and get him a spanish passport Honda might yoink him out of Ducati to replace Pedrosa in 2015. Allegedly Cal has a 12 month get-out clause from Ducati, presumably on the basis the bike might stay uncompetitive with no sign of light at the end of the tunnel. We can but hope!

    Amazingly, only 6 races to go now until the end of the season! I only just got around to watching the Silverstone race on TV; what a race :cooldude: When I was there I somehow didn't notice the final corner shenanigans between Marquez and Lorenzo on the big screen in front of us :eeek:

    Disappointed for Cal, post-race interview said it all. Too much crashing and not enough setup to be able to have anything useful for the race. Shame. Rossi was on fire in his final lap, but I can't work out why JL was fast all the time and VR got faster and faster as the race went on. All I can think is there must be big differences already in their respective setups and strategies.

    I think there is an element of Rossi rebuilding his confidence and Rossi/JB rebuilding their set up database after 2010's smashed leg then two years on that red bike. They're really starting from scratch again this year, I expect Rossi to be much closer next season when he's not going into every round more or less blind and building up over the weekend.

    I thought Rossi was going to hold pole this morning! Marquez on fire as usual, though. Doing a rain dance for tomorrow (ditto F1)

    Edit: if MM bins it and JL wins, the points gap between them goes to only 14. Rossi is not riding with a championship in mind and is arguably good in the rain... Dani is going to be hoping both JL and MM fall off. Ducatis will be up there and in the way if it's wet.
