MotoGP 2015

[Infinite Loop]

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

Shame more people don't watch it - it's actual, proper, racing...

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Brilliant start

 

[yorkyexile]

Cracking start to a race. Dovi and Petrucci showing Lorenzo how shite he really is and how to ride a Ducatti

 

[Maravilla]

Can't help but be pleased for Dovi. Incredible rides from Petrucci and Bautista and considering the injuries he's carrying, 4th is a very good damage limitation job from Vale.

On the other hand, Brit or not, Crutchlow is such a jumped up little wanker

Seems out of order having a go at Pedrosa mind. lot the bike and unfortunately took Cal with him

Looked as though he tried to nut him (or at least gestured to) when they were in the gravel trap. Like a less talented Lorenzo in terms of the chips he carries on both shoulders

Rssi

Top 4 in the Championship separated by 11 points

From the MotoGP Twitter: 'He OFFICIALLY has the longest winning career through ALL classes - 20 years, 313 days!'

Unbelievable...

 

[Maravilla]

We've even got a cracking Moto2 race, what is going on?

 

[Infinite Loop]

Unusual for Moto2. It seems to have become a bit boring - but only when compared to MotoGP and Moto3. The last lap of Moto3 was pretty much par for the course...madness and mayhem as normal.

Top 4 in the Championship separated by 11 points

Last year brought superb races pretty much every week but lacked a title battle to make it a classic season, this looks like it could be the best season in the top class since 2006.

Sad to hear that '12 times plus 1' world champion Angel Nieto has died as the result of injuries sustained in a quad bike accident:

The city is f***ing packed with tourists coming for the race this weekend - first year in about 5 I'll not be there

 

[Maravilla]

Rossi and his crew have again changed bikes far too late in changing conditions

And Marquez always times it perfectly...

And Marquez always times it perfectly...

He times it brilliantly but after that 2nd lap he didn't really have much choice this time tbf

4th was a brilliant damage limitation job by Rossi in the end under the circumstances but this has happened far too often in recent seasons. In 2015 the failure to change bikes earlier at Misano arguably played a part in him losing the championship and there were a couple of occasions when Yamaha totally dropped the ball last year as well in similar fashion to today

Seems Rossi may out for a while, and with Mugello up next:

Incredible ride from Fenati in those conditions, a 28 second gap between him and Mir

When Fenati's good, he's very, very good.
