Marquez providing entertainment once again.
4 people in two corners, probably got bored or something.
The first lap was great, like a race start! Smart strategy from Espargaro to stay back, nice to see the Hondas in 2nd and 3rd in these conditions, surprise that the factory Yamahas are only 9th and 12th!
Not the best race of the season i have to say but still fairly good.
Looks mega when they come over the line popping wheelies as well, i´ll give a 10 out of 10 to Aleix for the standing wheelie!

Yeh, this race wa a bit of a let down because the potential front runners seem to just give the race to Marc via mistakes. Pedrosa trying to save his tyres, Rossi messing up by taking a dry bike setup... Lorenzo was nowhere, can't explain that.
Yea i would love to see Honda dispose of Pedrosa. He´s the Mark Webber of MotoGP.
Having Aleix in the other Honda would provide racing even if Yamaha can´t compete directly with them.

The race was ok from an audience point of view. The weather really kept the interest throughout. Marquez is just too good in combination with that Honda. Pedrosa simply can't bring the fight. To a degree, it does answer the question if the human makes a difference on machines.
Would Honda actually make a change to their riders? Seems like they have the Ferrari mentality - awesome number one and a Massa or Barichello as solid runner. At least in Honda's situation, why mess with a powerful combo?
Kudos for Lorezno admitting he was scared. It showed the human side and clearly demonstrated these guys think about the dangers. After seeing Lorenzo and Marquez go wheel to wheel, bump to bump at full speed - then put that in context with this admission of fear, it's an amazing insight. Let's hope he bounces back.

Yup well said,
it´s all about feeling in control and this was a great example of what happens when a world champion feels he has none.

Putting serious thought into going to Silverstone this year to watch the race. Will depend on work and other things however. Anyone ever been for a motogp race?
