    Has the highlights on C4 gone now? Been away for a few weeks and last week couldn't find the highlights!

    The KTM’s are going really well this year and I am very impressed with how Jack has transitioned to the bike and consistently running in the top 3 or 4!

    And the great Phil Read has passed away now! Always remember the sound of Phil thundering around Mallory Park on the MV! RIP Phil.

    Good to see Sam Lowes getting back on the podium. Bad luck for John McPhee and Scott Ogden. I see that Toprak Razgatlioglu has been testing the Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike at Aragon. Would be interesting to see how his times compare to the other Yamaha riders. Cal was there too!

    So, Jack Miller to KTM Factory Racing. I hope it works out well for him - I like Jack!

    Anyone think that Andreas Mignon in Moto3 looks a bit like a young Greg Hancock?

    Any predictions for Mugello this coming weekend then? I think with that huge long straight it is going to favour the Ducati's and maybe the Aprilia's.

    Yes, I hope Scott keeps up the performances and he will keep improving. Moto2 is very competitive and quite exciting, a good in between of the crazy, frenetic Moto3 and the sometimes strung out MotoGP. I don’t think it could have been damp on the track causing the crashes as it hadn’t rained at all on the Sunday during the day unless it was coming up from underneath the track. Jerez is an easy drive for here as done it a few times when my son was doing his pilot training there but sadly flying home on Sunday morning!

    Didn’t have a great deal to wave the flag for jrs. Scott Ogden did very well but gutted for Sam and Jake. Really thought Jake would go on to win in the re-start! Was anything said about the amount of fallers between turns 2 and 3 in the moto 2 race? Couldn’t believe that many could crash in the same place without there being some sort of a problem with the track. Jack and Joan’s crash was right in front of us and Jack was totally upset and gutted that he had brought Mir down. Joan was initially very annoyed at Jack but after a few minutes they both embraced each other. Top guys!!

    Thanks JRS and Tim, really looking forward to the races. Been here for WSBK but not MotoGP and it is sensational viewing trackside. Hoping for some Brit successes with Sam and Jake and also maybe young Scott! We are between turn 1 and 2 and will have Union flag so look about for us! Wife will no doubt be in her Rossi T shirt! Looks like rain forecast for tomorrow but dry and sunny for Sat & Sun! Dave

    Just been watching Michael Laverty’s team VisionTrack Honda unloading the bikes at Autodromo International Algarve circuit. It’s really windy here, hope it doesn’t spoil the racing. Never known it to be so windy in the Algarve!!

    Agree with your post entirely jrs, especially your comments about MM93. I am sure he has been pushed back into the saddle too soon by HRC. I have a friend who was one of Pedrosa’s race engineers and he can tell you a few things about the team and MM!!

    Yes I did Ove! Great racing and fantastic that Aprilia and Aleix finally got their win. Good point about Maverick, not sure he will match Aleix!! I dint like to comment too soon after the race in case people are not watching it live and haven’t seen the race! I think it is going to be another good years racing. Ducati Corse will sort out the bikes and the team will start winning again and you can’t rule out Fabio even though his M1 is slow compared to rest of the grid!

    MM93 is on his way out to the COTA's to race at the weekend then. Hope he is fully fit!

    I noticed he was staggering when he got to his feet so must have had some mild concussion but it's not good obviously for him. I thought the standard of marshaling was poor in Indonesia, It took far too long for marshals to get to him and check he was ok. Also in other incidents they didn't seem very quick at making sure riders were protected after they had fallen. A bit scary really! Anyway, really looking forward to Argentina at the weekend.

    Horrendous crash again from Marquez, he can't keep doing this as I worry he will really damage himself on one of these high speed crashes.

    Yep, can’t come quick enough jrs! I think the Ducati’s are going to be hard to beat this year!

    Does anyone have any insight as to why Dani Pedrosa was not riding last weekend?

    Very exciting race - fair play to Brad Binder for staying out on track and taking a risk and it paid off! Yes, place would have gone mad if Vale had got a podium. Probably the closest he will come in his last season, great to see the other riders patting him on the back!

    Did you listen to the press conference? Bit emotional for me i must say!
  22. dj350z

    Moto Gp, 2 And 3

    Yes fully agree with everything you say here OveFF! And just to add, I thought Sam Lowes was on for a definite podium but faded a bit at the end! Shame!

    I agree the machinery he is on is capable of being able to produce the results but not the way he rides the bike, in my opinion. The younger riders have a different style and the bikes are suited to that style and I believe (and I think he knows) that he is unable ride the Yamaha to its full capability. Yamaha are not going to change the characteristics for Vale when they currently have 3 riders that have the capability to get on the podium every race. Sad to say this.....

    Yep, will be a very unpredictable race I reckon!

    Some great racing. it's a fantastic circuit! Had tickets and so gutted that there were no spectators!
