What happened to Cal? The last 3 laps was great to watch and well done Rossi.

amazing Marquez to be going for the win.
Lorenzo had to ride out of his skin to win that

What a race - so going to keep watching this on BT Sports, the racing is just so superior week in and week out...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Last lap was epic & Marquez racing like that 3 hours after ****** his shoulder is beyond belief.

Amazing Stuff,

Such a shame this is going to BT next year, as usual Eurosport and the BBC put in the foundations and share the coverage. As for Marquez i love watching him ride, he also comes across as a happy kid win or lose. Beginning to take a real shine to him. I heard Rossi is his hero and the Doctor is helping him keep his feet on the ground with it all. Fair to play as well.

Enough said about CAL the better, Bradley Smith keeps getting better and better and is very level headed about it all but he should be pushing for 4-5 place this time of the season.

The only way i will be watching it is live streams, still all being well in 2016 the new world road race series kicks off and here is hoping it on a freeview channel.

Well done scott reading, just a shame you are a jumped up arrogant toss pott. Here is hoping some of these GP boys teach you a think or too.

Marques has been docked 2 points for failing to slow under yellow in the morning warmup where he dropped it.

That seems a bit harsh, seeing the on board from when he crashed I didn't notice any yellow flags waving. Guess they can see it from more point of views than we can, whats the point in the license thing they introduced if they don't use it?

Still, a good days racing. A steep hill for Lorenzo to climb for the championship and Pedrosa just doesn't seem the same since his crash, could be a good end!

MrKnifey · 1 Sep 2013 at 20:15

Pedrosa is just frustrated that he is yet again be whipped by his team mate, which is a shame as he is a good rider in his own right. I think if Marquez didn't send it down the road he would have won today. How can you stuff it down the inside like that on the last lap after dislocating your shoulder?

he hasn't been docked 2 points
he has been given 2 points on he racing licence.
when they add up you get these penaltys
- Four Points - Starts next race from rear of grid.
- Seven Points - Starts next race from pit lane.
- Ten Points - Disqualification from the next event

By running out of energy and not being able to brake?
