TMG - the Guzzie riding MotoGP star, definitely a future pick in my fantasy MotoGP team .
Joking aside the lack of GP bikes on the grid is a problem, they should have a grid of at least 28-30 IMO. Come back KR, Aprilia, WCD and Sutil, all you need is a budget of £25 million each  .
Shame that Redding bunged it, if he had the same spec Aprilia as the other top 10 runners he wouldn't have to try so hard. My tip for next years 125cc championship (if he gets the latest spec. bike)
Cheers Zunspec

That was my 4th points scoring finish !
I've had 3x14th places and a 15th today - putting me on 7 points.
I'm in 20th place in the standings, 3 points behind Ben Spies, 2 ahead of Jamie Hacking and 5 ahead of Tadayuki Okada.
I reckon I deserve to get some factory backing for next season !

I'll pop down to Sammy Millers and borrow that old V8 Guzzie thing for you TMG. Bore it out to 800c and the jobs a good'un . A set of new Avon SMs (should last a season) and you'll be beating Kawasaki within the first couple of races

The race is live at 7:45 via your red button or on t'interweb.
They are repeating it on BBC2 at 10:45.
You are a bit early Neil

Good Racing !
Stopping the race early was a Good Call.
Re-starting it for an 8 lap sprint would have been stupid.

| yep, glad I was watching rather than out there! there seemed a big difference in the amount of water on different parts of the track, looked almost dry in parts followed by standing water.. apparently down to the old vs new sections of the track - bit like the southern section of the M25

Congrats to Rossi on winning his 6th Premier Class World Championship !
And with three rounds still to go !
Apparently he's planning on celebrating by competing in the Wales Rally GB in December.

A dominant performance by Stoner at his home GP this morning, and a storming ride from 12th on th grid from Rossi.
Toseland had a pretty good race too, until his tyres went off a couple of laps from the end.
F*ck knows what Pedrosa was thinking, chucking it away on the 2nd corner.
