Looks like it's over barring an injury, not saying I'd like that in any way.

Hmmm, that was hard work  

Good race tho, somebody stuck a rocket up Lorenzo's back passage, he was invisible till he signed the contract. Be interesting next year if Marquez doesn't absolutely smash Lorenzo's mojo within the first couple meetings!

[whisty]

Oh my, what kind of farce was that!

[whisty]

Hmm,

Originally only a 2 race ban from Moto GP ? His team fired him.

Here he is in Moto 3 a few years back kicking someone and hitting the kill switch at the start line

Oh well, there's always MotoGP!  Nice to see the Yams back in the mix.

And we're back. Watching free practice here. Its spring!

Normal service resumes, hope it stays that close through the year

Yeah nice 5 to finish. Id imagine Lorenzo will start getting up there after a few races. Lets just not hope its all over after 5 races though.

Oh, unforced error ? They’ll have to threaten Lorenzo with the sack to make him go faster!

Hopefully a sign of things to come for the season. Rossi looks very competitive. 

Crutchlow with the most Crutchlow thing ever yesterday.

I watched the last race and maybe I fell asleep cos I had to watch it again just in case somebody other than Marquez had won, then I remembered why I'd forgot the result

I have a ton of admiration for a dominant sports person but it makes for boring viewing.

Yeah a huge letdown. He had a big off in testing yesterday too. Look where his bike ended up!

Oh! He must be getting frustrated with the positions he’s been in especially as Marquez wins on the same bike (ish). Lets hope he stays in one piece and gets a grip of the Honda. Did hear Crutchlow say it’s the hardest bike to ride of the ones he’s sampled!

2 crackers on the spin, anybody beating Marquez is like a minor miracle. Hope Dovi is ok, nasty looking incident that one. Anyway, some excitement has returned for a bit.

Dovi is ok it seems yeah. Looked real bad when it happened. Landed on his head! 

But what a last lap.

Lorenzo has retired. Only 32 but so many injuries including a serious enough back injury. 

Don't know how many times he was ahead at the first corner and then was gone!

I'll always remember this though.

Two team mates aswell both going for the title with Yamaha going for the constructors title. 

Was around this time Felipe Massa had his crash in F1 and then when he came back was asked to let Alonso through for the win. Haven't watched an F1 race since.
