it's not even factory bikes proving the point...all very odd

Looks like they have a decent bike and set up for him. We will see when he has a factory ride next season

Imagine what he could earn from Suzuki who want to make their mark

Rat boy still the best at the moment for me with somebody who looks a very close second at the moment

Funny, I was talking to the Mrs about his factory ride...do you think it'll make him better or worse...hmm. I'd love to see Suzi up ther again competing, thought they were on the up, maybe not.

@Clicky, Yamaha...what they hell...mad isn't it. I'm not sure given what has been seen as a factory advantage they should be allowed a dispensation to open them up, but I guess money talks and for Yamaha to walk away it would not be good.

wouldn't say he lost his bottle, maybe just wanted a year out to rest and cure his back..said retiring to jump ship his Honda contract maybe..but I agree he would be good on that suzuki..pol espagaro signing for hrc has been my biggest shock..why they chose him I cant fathom out? push cal out with the hump maybe? @ vossy,they might get chucked out yet not walk away

Possibly, the Honda thing certainly didn't work out for him. Think I read it somewhere, he had scared himself too many times?

A comeback and results would answer that I guess

Well, just watched the highlights from Brno

Factory bikes, you don't want a factory bike

Very interesting and different race that. TBH I expected the factory bikes coming though at the end and dominating but they did not have the set up of the non factory boys for me which is pretty amazing really, refreshingly different

Honda?

I bet they were all planning on picking a few points up while rat boy is out, left the door wide open for him

Hi All

Just getting news down here that Dovi is quiting Ducati, anyone know if it's true? As they've got form for miss reporting stuff like this before

Hi Rich

They've got the Lorenzo rumour going on here as well, but surely Ducati desperately need to move forward not back. They'll be phoning Fogarty next

Bagnaia for me, new talent is what's needed to beat MM.

The moto 2 crash was awful and they were doing CPR on one of the riders in the initial pictures before they said everyone was conscious.
Rossi used up his 9th life and it showed on his face..........
Happy for Dovi though, not sure how it helps anything, but I've got a soft spot for the old dog

Seen the lowlights moto 2

That is a terrible crash that

Just ripped the bike to bits!

Edit

Jesus, just seen the moto GP one, flying bikes

Make no wonder Rossi was shocked, 2 x bikes comes past you in the air at 180mph!

If that's not time to hang the gloves up I don't know what is!!!

Moto GP

Moto 2

Let's hope everybody is OK
