That was a little "off" he had there, and by little I mean he went off at Assen, checked out the Sachsenring for the next GP, headed back to Assen and finished 12th.

Again. Moto3 has been brilliant racing all year. Those kids are fearless.

Yeh, but I'd call them mad. And watching it after the GP, it looked like they were flying compared to the go slow of the main race.

Just watched the race now. Great ride from 'Jackassen' (as he's been christened by the BTLive commentators ). Pity for Rossi (and for the championship) and for Dovi. Lorenzo has never been good in the wet so I wasn't surprised to see him languishing down in the lower placings. Still, 24 points to MM93 is not an insurmountable amount after only 7 rounds. MotoGP miles ahead of F1 in entertainment value. Loving it!

I have said this before. And i will say it again, JLO is not a complete rider. The way he struggled in the first stint doesn't look like he is WC rider on a WC bike.

Season not even halfway through, but the lineups for next year are taking shape. Good to see KTM entering the fray. Not sure what is happening with the Aspar Ducatis or Pramac Ducatis as yet.
