Hi Vossy,
I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat, loved it.....
Can't really pick out the best moment as there were so many, but even the Mrs started screaming when ,for those 10 seconds, we thought Rossi was on for his 200th podium.
Epic race
Best

Yes Vinales could be heard riding around in 5th gear hitting the revs for the last 3 laps.
I believe that SRT are losing their main sponsor and will be pulling out their Moto 2 and 3 teams

Hi All
Hoping some of the more knowledgeable guys can help with this one:
Yamaha have withdrawn Vinales from this weekend's race for abusing his bike???
And on another note rumours Petronas are pulling out of all Moto classes??
Yamaha are having a bad couple of weeks

I would imagine the electric market is growing everywhere but I can't see them dominating over petrol in my life time in Asia. I can't remember ever seeing a electric scooter in Thailand, probably are some in the wealthier areas of Bangkok though.

Asia already has a growing electric bike market.

I can't see asian markets going electric for a very long time so I think small cc bikes, scooters/mopeds etc will be fine, and in my heart I hope big cc bikes will get a new lease of life over there, not sure that will happen though.

I'm surprised manufacturers are still putting money into engine development with the future being electric.

Well, what a cracking restart, really enjoyed that one. I didn't watch the practice, where the hell has Martin come from? As for that new but of magicry they've put on the Suzuki it would appear it's more than capable of keeping pace with the Ducs now but better in the corners, will be interesting to see it on a longer straight. Tbh, I was a bit surprised how the Suzi started losing time toward the end I would have thought the Ducs tyres would have given it more trouble in comparison.
The montage to Rossi at the beginning was ab brill 😀

Hi Glen,
Sorry I got caught up in some other stuff, but your point on the susuki's.
That hole shot or whatever it's called was a big game changer.
I'm still not sure Rins can go back to back though

Sad to see rossi doing worse than last seasons middle field running. MM came back to soon and is not fully fit putting himself and other riders in danger. Nice to see a mix of manufacturers in the running. Suzuki may be lacking straight line speed but it's better in the corners than both ducati and yamaha.

Hi Chris
No I'm as English as it gets, my uncle used to drive f2 for lotus and I've loved the bikes for ages.
Love the best riders not the bikes though Fogarty, Pedrosa, stoner, HA! Gardner as well.
Loving Acosta (a new Rossi maybe?) Sounds real wierd to say that.
So many young guns though, deffinately the start of a new generation we are seeing and I think it's great.
(if we could please let zarco win the championship this year things would be perfect, he may be French, but he's nuts and I love watching him ride)
Best
Jon
