    I should have bet on this race. Based on practice and qualifying it was clear who had the best pace and that the start was going to dictate the level of "dicing it up" we would see. Alas, looks loke this year will come down to the wire...

    Another weekend of processional racing from the top two classes. Good for Lorenzo taking over at the top of the standings by virtue of his 5 wins. Rossi just can't seem to match the outright pace of Lorenzo and Marquez, even though he didn't have start from the third row....Marquez is left wondering why they didn't switch frames earlier. Dani has absolutely no luck after his fork seal failure and subsequent off in FP left him with yet another injury.

    Zarco is just piling up the points...5 more races similar to that and it's a championship. Rinns with another good race and it was good to see Alex Marquez starting to show some pace over the last two races.

    Moto 3 was a great race, but Kent is just too far out front at this point. On to Silverstone....

    At this rate JL will win the championship. If Rossi pulls it out he will be the undisputed GOAT. But I think it will be JL, Rossi then MM.

    Lorenzo is my preferred winner if it can't be one of the two Honda's. Rossi doesn't seem to have that Rossi magic like he used to. Still a long way to go.......

    JL is a machine. I don't think anyone in the history of GP can put down full races with such consistent lap times. I mean really if you look at the sheets its like a machine out there. BUT when it comes to banging farings........ Just don't let him get away and Rossi has a chance.

    Yamaha is going to have a factory team in WSBK again next year.....maybe, just maybe, Cameron will get a shot at a WSBK seat. Absolutely nowhere to go to get a Yamaha ride in MotoGP, unless something really drastic happens...then there might be a seat at Tech3.......Even a shot at a BSB ride would be a step up for him imo.

    It would be great if Cameron got a WSBK ride with Yamaha. They need Yamaha back and and an American.

    Sounds like Nicky is destined for WSBK, but maybe on an Aprilia...

    The racing from Cadwell Park last weekend was stunning, Josh Brookes put on a real show, Peter Hickman gave him a good race for the top spot in both races, Brookesy took the leap so fast he skipped the bit of track to the next jump MX style, excellent spectating

    BSB always makes me think about the DMG and AMA....All I can do is shake my head and lament what could have been....... Excellent series you guys have over there. Top shelf riders on top shelf equipment and top shelf teams. It's how it is supposed to be done at the national level.
