Full thoughts tomorrow, but all I can say is that I have no words regarding the finish of the 125s...

[NinjaMaster]

That 125 race was bizarre. Zarco is learning but he's finding every possible way to lose so he has a real in depth knowledge before he cracks it for a win...

Moto2 (as always) was very good. Marquez is kinda like Rossi on fast forward (Rossi took a year to learn then dominate the next, Marquez take four or five races to learn then dominate!) and it's going to be extremely difficult for Bradl to defend his points lead til the end. I really hope he does coz Stefan has been very impressive this year and even when Marc is winning, Bradl is generally right behind him.

Lorenzo was immaculate in the main race, churned out the fast laps at will now he has his comfortable setup back again and made the title chase interesting. Casey's fading has raised question marks about his fitness, particularly after 2009 but I take him at his word from his lack of training with his neck injury and a lack of sleep (which doesn't bode well for 2012 - babies aren't renowned for helping sleep patterns very much...). I'd still favour him in the run home though. Pedrosa ran a strong if non-descript race and the battle for fourth was really good with Simoncelli probably sealing his seat at Honda because he finally beat Dovizioso this year after 12 attempts... And Rossi is being confusingly praised because he managed to run with the pack for fourth for half a race before fading to finish a distant 7th. :confused:
