Maverick - he feels the need, the need for speed....

(Sorry - he was indeed named after Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun though)

 

[Maravilla]

Superb from each of the top 3. Suspect that 3rd will probably feel like a win to Rossi given how far off the pace he's looked all weekend and all through testing, he's going to have a serious fight on his hands if he's going to beat Vinales over the course of the year though.

Now now.Don`t laugh at the afflicted . He wasnt happy with that bike was he? Mind the Honda`s look like they stood still both pace and top end speed wise

Poor old Jorge, on a renowned 'Ducati' track.

Extend it to a month, include pedal power based machines and there's also Michele Scarponi:

Didn't sound like there was much hope, given the updates over the weekend. R.I.P. the Kentucky Kid...

I was hoping there would be some recovery, although the news always appeared to be negative. So sorry to hear this. RIP Nicky.

 

[Maravilla]

Ahh fuck. Just got in and heard the BBC Sport headlines, was delighted to hear that Moyes had resigned but the joy totally punctured when the Hayden headline came next

By all accounts he was that rarest of beasts amongst top level motorcyclists, a genuinely nice guy with no ego whatsoever off the track. RIP

Absolutely - some of the prima donnas should take a look at how he behaved and learn a thing or two.

Sad news

 

[Arkle]

Ah, that's really sad news...

Nice tribute on the BBC website:

[yorkyexile]

Just seen it there.Big loss to the sport

 

[Maravilla]

Speaks volumes that out of all the tributes paid to him by his fellow riders and racing journalists, his career and achievements have barely been mentioned by them and everything has just been about what a likeable fella he was

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Disturbingly similar incident to the one that killed Michele Scarponi a few weeks ago

 

[Maravilla]

1st to 20th within 1 second of each other with 5 laps left, f***ing love Moto3
