Has Lorenzo ever lost a race when hes got out front? Unreal. The Marquez/Dovi double crash was unique. Rossi very strong again. Has the makings of a cracking season.

Yep that crash was very strange, I never got to hear if they gave a reason. Lorenzo is a seriously good rider, a bit boring to watch when out front, be interesting to see if he can make the Ducatti work next year.

Sorry about the spoiler  . I'm just lucky to live here and virtually next to the course so I get to watch the TT every year, just take it for granted really but always amazes me how far people travel

I thought he was going to do it at one stage! Good thing Lorenzo had his wingman with him for the last few races. Yesterday was particularly obvious. Really enjoyed this year. Roll on next season!

What a last lap! Shame about Rossi.

Yep a cracker for sure, thought Marquez had it in the bag! Rossi, oh my, would have been some kind of race with him in the mix.  

Watched the brief review of the Moto 2&3 races, the Moto 3 guys going into the 1st corner after slipstreaming each other was something to behold & Sam Lowes leading the Moto 2 points table :)

First death in 5 years. RIP Moto 2 rider Luis Salom.

2 Fatals at the IOM TT on the 1st day, rip. Love the TT but really don't know how it survives in these days of health and safety. 

Nice win for Rossi, Ianone is a nut job!

Bad day for the TT Saturday after a perfect week of practice last week, big shock Paul shoesmith losing his life, very popular guy....looking at the place where he crashed it seems he had an engine seize at 180+ mph :o

The TT will always survive, we get this every year, all the riders know the risks, that's why they do it. 

Anyway, fantastic days racing today, two wins for hutcy and I had the privilege of passes into parc ferme in scorching sunshine, another 4 days of it yet too

Supremely jealous, never been, always wanted to go but clash with Glastonbury and such. Am waiting for Glastonburys year off then it's all systems go for the TT.  Oh and the spoiler for Hutchy up there before I can get to ITVs catch all but a nice name to see a win against, can't wait to watch the footage :)

Brilliant to see after a 35 year wait, so happy for the man, give him a proper bike Honda :).

Lets not forget the other GB win and rostrum place.

Lowes knocked off by title contender, shocking :wink:

Brilliant by Cal to come second to a flying Suzuki on a second string bike, that's some result. Shame the Suzuki tyres didn't rubber out like they usually do :)

Really enjoyed that race, watched without fast forward :) Great ride from Pedrosa, never really had any feelings for him until I watched those series of docs, shame he's never worn the crown really. Anyway 1 dnf from Marquez wouldn't go amiss to heat the title chase up :wink:

Very odd season. Enjoyable but no real rivalry to latch onto.

4 DNFs from Rossi. 0 from Marquez. 

3 contenders for Moto 2, might be worth a watch this weekend. Been away a few weeks, missed the last one, DNF's make the difference I guess!

      Iran are winning. If US aren't going to do the full invasion thing, then they may as well admit defeat and do what is needed to get the strait opened. Iran obviously have decided they can take any pain and stick it out as they have all the cards with this Hormuz thing. But obviously Trump can't admit defeat, and Israel just want this to keep going...and maybe it will carry on like this till after elections in both US and Israel towards the end of this year. God knows how the global economy will be by then.

      All kicking off in N Ireland, all aided and abetted on videos that get circulated on social media and Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson telling people to take to the streets. Social media needs regulating same as publishers, if they have algorithms that push whatever to people then they are effectively publishers anyway. The problem is just going to get worse and worse.
