Loved the race yesterday, on the edge of my seat from lap 1 to checkered flag! Big game mentality from Marques to sit with Jorge and plan the winning move, shows a good head and not just raw talent (which we know he has).

 

Glad Jorge managed a solid ride, Dani was a bit disappointing but oh well

Seriously impressive riding by both riders - it was great to watch...

 

Have to agree with the sentiment, much as I was a fan. But seems they have a sense for the tragic, since I see Daijiro Kato is also there...

Vale also had a stonker of a race. Yes, he couldn't keep up with Jorge or Marc through the corners (damn, that kid can LEAN!!!) But to come from 10th and hit 3rd as quickly as he did, and then be the only one within eyesight of the 2 wunderkinde is a fantastic achievement

Did you guys see the top speeds of those bikes?

JL Yammie 326km/h

MM Honda 341km/h (no wonder he could reel JL in at will)

One of the Dukes 344km/h.

That is seriously fast!!

Oh yeah, forgot about the clean-underwear award for the race... Bradl wins that hands-down. How he walked away from that, I don't know. Tossed like a ragdoll after a riderless Ducati hits him! :eek: That boy must be hurting today.

That sucks, see there are good thing happening at the TT though.

Bruce Anstey beat Big John's lap average and I see the electric bikes are coming along big time!!!

 

Pity about the deaths but every entrant knows there is a possibility they will die doing what they love. Could be knocked over by a bus just as easily.........

Just watched the moto de Barcelona. What a race!!! If anyone doubts the talent of Marquez after today's demonstration...

 

And brilliant ride for Rossi. I reckon he was actually waiting for them to trip each other up. Given the speed of the Honda...

 

And brilliant handling of that yellow flag situation in the one corner. Very good of Marquez, Rossi and Pedrosa to see it and throttle down to revert to the proper order.

On the post race interviews Rossi said he thought they were signalling rain... In which case he wanted to get to the pits. Then he saw the yellows
