F1 vs MotoGP.....

No brainer... Rossi amazing! Marquez... broken leg!!!!!
Unlucky smith.... what was up with Cals bike at the end? Lorenso..... oops! Baltista great riding but no happy ending.....


F1 needs some excitement.... MotoGP is great at the moment, great riders, great bikes, mix of talent both brand spanking new world champion rookies, multiple world champion title winners still challenging for wins on factory bikes!! Great camera shots and slow motion.... over takes, undertakes, sideways, drifting, one wheels braking 60degree leans as standard... elbows down... yummy!!!!

Cal was a happy chappy wasn't he?!

Marquez was always going to win, but Rossi put up a good effort.

Where it lacks against F1 is the long strategy element. and only the factory teams have a chance.

The worst thing is the stupid class system. Either you all run to the same rules or you run different classes.

Not seen the race yet , will have to wait until tonight. Sounds like a good race .

Cals bike apparently had some sensor issue the bike didn't know what gear it was in and finally stopped on the last corner.

Cracker of a race that - and all 5 days after getting back on a bike after breaking a leg ... loooonatic! My sole irritation is that Melanie Sykes, her voice rasps like a nails on a blackboard - she might be nice eye candy but she has a voice for braile books.

It was ok entertainment, with only half a lap of real excitement.

The new commentator is an utter twat.

I did enjoy's Rossi's swearing and girlfriend.

Cracking racing, the only thing spoiling it is the presentation.
Sykes is totally out of her depth and needs replacing.
Ryder has a voice that gets more and more irritating.
Toseland has as much personality as the average broken paving slab.
Huewen and Hodgson at least know what a bike is and are the only two worth keeping.
The pit lane and grid interviews were cringe inducing. He regularly got the brush off.

Not a patch on the BBC coverage.
