Assen TT: Possible Spoiler

[slob]

That was a bit tense...

[Ursa]

But did you see lovely Petrucci answering my fan question yesterday?? :biggrin: More bear than monkey today. :biggrin:

[Moco1961]

.....edge of seat stuff.......am off for a lie down !!!!

[slob]

Championship wide open again, going into the half-way point

... and a red bike leading it :-D

[Ursa]

Also expecting a particularly amusing Dear George missive imminently

[Ursa]

The funniest thing is that they amended the Moto GP schedule to accommodate the F1 snorefest today...

Can't wait for that one!!

[Pedro]

Epic racing!

The F1 was vaguely interesting today with some dodgem car racing and Hamilton dropping places for impromptu repairs. I shall keep an eye out for the MotoGP as well though. :biggrin:

Vaguely interesting isn't even a patch on Moto 2 right now...

They're going to have to find a 2 1/2 hour slot for the highlights show on ITV4 after those three races

[Taff666]

Also, hats off for John McPhee, 3rd in another cracking Moto3 race (from 19th on the grid)

Respect :hail::hail::hail:

[utopia]

While we're doing "hats off", lets have one for Mattia Pasini.
Not just for this race but for the whole season so far.
Robbed of a position at the chicane in my view.
His feisty competitiveness and determination against the odds is admirable and I have become a bit of a fan.

[benson]

Utterly compelling viewing - really exciting stuff at last!!!

'fraid the highlights are now on Channel 5 - still Keith Heuwen & Julian (assange?) pouring drivel into the microphone whilst thinking they are frightfully amusing & witty (which they are not)

[Dirty]

Both races were great. Makes perfect sense if you do the maths to move the MGP so as not to clash. Thankfully F1's new owners have now started to consider clashes and consult with other events/series before finalising a calendar. Anyone who thought Baku was less than interesting is either a troll or didn't watch it.

F1 in Baku could be described as wacky races, but not a snorefest...

Yep, but beyond the crashing and the 7 DNFs there was some great racing in between. It's a stunning track and just watching the cars thread through at those speeds with zero run off is a thrill. Last years race was a huge disappointment but this year made up for it in spades.

[Jez900ie]

I agree, it was a good race and really on the edge of the seat stuff towards the end. Plus a podium no one predicted before the race. Plus they pay F1/Liberty a fortune to host it. There will be a race in Baku for the foreseeable future.

[utopia]

Yeah, its an interesting spectacle.

Getting back to the bikes then ..................

Hope Chas is fit enough for LS.

It tickled me that everyone said how nice it was of Rea to pull over and make sure Chas was ok after using him as a make shift take off ramp, however no one mentioned that he picked his bike up off the floor and rushed to the finish line to grab 3rd first. Only then did his 'concern' over ride his racing instinct :mand:
