Benny H was right

Dovi certainly put himself in the Factory Yamaha focus today. Ben used to own him but not anymore.

As ever Ducati need to do something. Fire their overpaid pilots to free up some cash for development.

Old Bob got it right years back.

masterclass

so let pedro break the tow then claw him back, shame jorge was taken out tho but it is racing, bautista was wrong and admitted it so all well, good rides by dovi and cal again, spies still looked uncomfy but good results all the same.

stoner retiring will be a sad day tho for any real race fan, he was awsum again today.

"Honda v Honda on the same tyres & in that battle Stoner's going to win... mostly." Mostly, that's an understatement and a half right there matey.

a dominant display by the Repsol boys - have they got their mojo back now?  it would have been interesting to see if Lorenzo could have mixed it with them had Bautista not tried that barnpot manoevre.  a justifiable penalty of a back of the grid start at the Sachsenring - and thank goodness we don't have elbowz in Race Direction.

with Spies so far off the pace of the front two, he couldn't even do the team a favour by taking points off Stoner and Pedrosa - a pretty mediocre ride I'm afraid, and done yet again by Dovi.  with Spies staring at the bike after crossing the line, and when pulling into the garage, i'm waiting to hear the excuses.  a lucky 4th perhaps, with Lorenzo and Bradl's DNFs, and Cal's mix-up in the first corner melee.

anyway, the Moto3 race knocked it into a cocked hat.  at least we can rely on the youngsters for some close racing.

Bautista killed it

Agree with 'parris' there. Obviously AB didn't mean it, JL didn't deserve it and the fans didn't want it. But that's racing.

Controlled ride from Casey without the obvious threat. Good effort from Dani but not quite good enough as usual. Talking of Dani 'huge'. He IS an alien. He's the slowest of a f'kin quick trio but where's the rest of the field? And stop spouting s-t about Vae ffs.

Anyway, shame for Stefan, shame for Cal, a decent effort from Ben. As for Vale, less said the better?
