Shaping up for a thrilling finish here! Rossi, Marquez, Petrucci and Dovizioso all bunched up and it's raining.

Crutchlow's making 2 seconds a lap on the leaders.. too late i think. Cracking stuff.
Rossi wins from Petrucci, Marquez stole 3rd from Crutchlow at the death.

Long time Vale fan here but no doubting the class of newer riders. Some serious serious skill. Enjoyable to watch. Exciting times for Moto GP. Loving it.

Marquez was insanely brave with that last move, although maybe just insane. I would have been screaming at the TV if he'd wiped Dovi out after all that effort the red team had put in.
Hi, I want to buy some weekend tickets for next years Motogp in Silverstone for my misses birthday. She's a big Rossi fan so I think we'd have to be wherever his fans normally congregate. When are the tickets normally released and where is the best place to buy them from? Also, any idea of a ballpark figure for a weekend pass?

Rossi will be sitting out at least the race in Misano and likely to miss Aragon as he's broken his right leg. The same leg he broke in 2010.

Rossi back in practice three weeks after breaking both tib and fib... absolutely incredible. Good old intramedullary nails.

Great to see Rossi back!

Awesome race this weekend, the final 4 laps were absolutely nuts. They were riding like it was a dry circuit!
This season has really delivered so far and whoever wins the championship has certainly had to work hard for it.

One things for certain... I wouldn’t lean it over like that in the wet!
Apart from the odd twitch under acceleration you basically wouldn’t know they were riding in bad weather. Amazing.
Great finish to the race, thought Marquez had it nailed when he got back past Dovi, but they just kept on going and fighting!

Yeah, knees down in those conditions is just wrong!
I wonder how much the T10 (?) mistake cost Marquez. Dovi was still a way behind him coming out of that turn

I can't see Dovi winning the title, not unless something goes amazingly wrong for Marquez. I'd like to see Dovi win but Marquez is clearly the favourite.
As for Lorenzo punting Marquez off on purpose, not a chance I would say.

I think it's safe to say Marquez has this in the bag. He hasn't finished outside of the top 4 since 125s.
I'd say he'll just cruise around but I don't think he knows how to.

Not a hope in hell, god help any Spanish rider who deliberately gets in Marc's way costing him the championship, at the deciding race held at a Spanish track, they would be public enemy number 1 & it would follow them for the rest of their lives.
