Been to Hexham quite a few times. Stop in a nice hotel in that area once a year and have a weekend up the north east, some really nice places

Rat boy wins, great ride must say, is he really back, that’s the question, looks like the bike was set up right, track surface was horrendous

WSB and JR, incredible, down and out twice in the first two races, cannot seem to get the front end set up, comes back and proves why he is a 6 time world champ, what a response!!!

BSB, so disappointing for Taz Mac. Great first race win yesterday, came from 13th on the grid to win, last race, the heavens opened up and he crashed out ffs, G Rea wins both wet races. Great day though for me

No 22nd,very tricky conditions on the pass with strong winds and rain and brain dead camper van drivers not stopping at the passing spaces, even had one expecting us to stop when coming down and reverse. Saw a few stuck on single track roads that were too narrow for them to continue and not possible to turn around.

Must admit the track limits and regulations are becoming a bit of a joke, they are or they are not, similar to the footy with VAR

Some great racing again though

Hi All

Loved it as usual, congrats to Bastianini's ride

Yamaha putting in a protest for Peco's jump start kinda leaves it all up in the air though. Leaves a bit of a bitter taste

It's a professional sport though with small margins and if they're gonna do Mir for track limits on the final lap, I suppose Peco's got something coming.

Penalty for jumps is 2 long laps, but I don't know what they'll do with this one if the protest is upheld?

Best

Jon

Was a great bit of racing that, loved it

MM is a great rider, I just can’t help thinking he is pushing it too far all the time, ditched it 18 times this season and the run wide cost him, great last few laps those though, the thing that makes the sport great!

Is it the lack of bike development time, not sure myself, I think others have come on and he is pushing it far too hard trying to keep up, people can blame the shoulder, not sure it is, the competition is quite strong, great ride by the rat though and I think everybody could see that he would press, press and press

The pundits were saying before this weekend his arm will never be any better and he will never ride at his previous level.

Yep great race and sorry great ride for MM you can't be a pussy at that level.
Yeah 70k for super, 50k for the desi when he bought it, the other bikes he has are similar value. He works in the city but is a great guy that loves his bikes and rides them hard not just garage queen's.
Off on tour Tuesday, can't wait.

Hi Chris,

Loved that, I'm smiling like a Cheshire cat again

Huge for Peko and thouroughly deserved , and Rossi lost his bet as he didn't cry

That image guy Honda hired for Rat boy whilst he was recuperating paid off massive, he was a completely different person in his post race interview, notably likeable (Which I never thought I'd say)

Best

A guy I know had his desmodesi and superlegera shipped out there for a three dayer while he flew out. His garage also contains 3 more Ltd edition bikes and 2 supercars.
