Yeah! I'm staying off all forums after this until I can get the chance to see some of the racing later.
There's bound to be someone blabbing on here about who won.  ;)

Its the third Sunday on the row that we are in-front of a tv set (or a projector).
Really enjoy it.

We have a nice pup next door (Brian knows the place) there we now have set a special space with a huge projector and a fast internet connection; all aficionados gather there to watch, chat etc. Best of all the huge beers and the assortments the last foc. Even Australian races we watch. And its only 50 meters fm home.

It's a great place, the owner is a great guy and the 'tall' beers have to be seen to be believed!





Two of those and you are nowhere!

Wow what a week end of racing and I've just finished watching the Moto GP. Perfection with Valentino and Crutchlow getting third what a bonus.

It can only get better :)

Perfect Doctor for yet one more time.
Experience vs Talent, in the long term my money goes to experience.
Should not forget to mention DUCATI is back for sure.

And there is some great British talent coming up, Sam Lowes in moto2 and a blistering race run by Danny Kent
In moto3.

Motogp race was all about tyre choice and race strategy, Marquez made the wrong choice. Rossi on the extra
Hard  compound rear made the right choice and made for a exciting race. Good to see Suzuki back with a good set up
If a little under powered

SUZUKI is there too, you're right. Still has some distance to cover but not so much.

There wasn't any tyre choice for the Honda's the extra hard didn't work hence the two sided plan for Cal and Marqueze

Agreed but not even Marc can ride on a shot rear tyre that does not last race duration.

Honda were only out by two laps and if they hadn't have had their coming together I'd have still put money on the kid getting the better of Rossi.

Honda clearly knew that if they'd gone extra hard they would have been nowhere so it's not as though there was a choice.
