MARQUEZ WRAPS IT UP

I know it was going to be his anyway, but that result could not have got a single bet on happening !
How's the form of the Yamaha team caving in to pressure and both top riders binning it .
At only 23 years old, Mr Marquez has a Stella career ahead and I hope he keeps the infectious fun persona that the others seem to have lost over the years,
Almost a shame that Philip Island is no longer the decider.

It's been an interesting year - badly needed in MotoGP.
Good to see Suzuki back on form too.
You still racing classics?

Nope, not here. Thinking about it lately though, got a mate in the old country competing in the post classic / forgotten era class on a 86 CBR 600.
Still a mountain of cash to burn even on the older bikes to compete properly

A guy I work with races an FZ750 '85 in Superbike historics, with some trick factory cams and carbies he squirrelled away from back in the day. He's trying to get me to do a track day, but I can see it ending in disaster...

I prefer to run the old line "The older I get-The faster I was"!!!
My days of tee shirts that state "life begins at 240" I feel are gone

OH Thanks,
I have been avoiding news and sports broadcasts all day so I can watch the highlights later,
you sir are an unmitigated ratbag,
Still now I am here a question, With Danni out with yet another broken collarbone does that mean that Mr Crutchlow will be considered for his seat sooner rather than later ? After all his record in recent races on a satellite Honda has been in general markedly better than Mr Pedrosa on the factory bike.
Shaun.

Shaun, should I issue Mr.Bix a warning for being a "ratbag". Please let us know.

Oh god!! I clean overlooked the time difference.
Normally these races are in the middle of the night here.
If the team gods at Repsil Honda are smart, they really should give Pedrosas bike to Cal.
He's got the goods for sure.
A ratbag I am Sir, class A -number 1 example !!

It's about time the field opened up, there is some incredible talent out there. Anyone who has ridden a bike will know that what they make look so easy, cool and flowing, is but one hairs breadth away from disaster or defeat. All being done on a pair of tyres with the contact patch of a couple of teaspoons, it's amazing stuff.
