MotoGP Germany, sachsenring

Dear people, of course I can't wait for Sachsenring, second and last GP I'm going to visit this year :D It seems that since yamaha has put some 2010 parts (or do they simply ride the 2010 bike?) they're going stronger and stronger, I think Lorenzo will take it

When you're bored: YouTube - ‪After the Flag: Mugello‬‏ latest After the Flag.. That passionate Italians :) Colin Edwards, such a nice and funny guy, he's worth gold. And it seems he doesn't only learn Cal Crutchlow riding, but also being funny see the part: Ask the Riders :D

You're right to be excited Corny, Sachsenring should be a belter. Hope the weather is like Mugello's.
Colin Edwards is awesome. MotoGP will be poorer for his leaving once he retires - hopefully after next year! That was a very good After The Flag. :up:

Thankyou :D Have to say I'm quit lucky living here in Netherlands, I'm quit 'close' to a lot of MotoGP rounds.. Might be different for you Aussies I guess?

Last year's was a cracker with the podium fight between Casey and Valentino.. Let's hope this one will be one that is talked about too :D

Well you were on the money about Jorge - he has good race pace, as usual. Casey and Dani will not let him go away without a fight, though.

Valentino... what can you say?

The 125s were a fantastic race. Poor old Zarco, second time this year he's missed out on a race win despite crossing the line first. Moto2 was brilliant as well. Marc Marquez has well and truly sussed this class out now, Bradl is going to have to keep up his consistency because Marc is dominating. Krummenacher had a great race too.

And wowee! Best MotoGP race I can remember for a LOOOONG time. .1 of a second covering 2nd and 3rd (Lorenzo, Stoner), .4 covering 4th to 6th (Dovi, Speez, Simo), .5 covering 11th to 14th places (Barbera, Abraham, DePuniet, Crutchlow). Really exciting and intriguing to see how it would pan out as the race progressed. And The Ben doing Simoncelli over on the last corner for the second race in a row was hilarious!

An excellent night's entertainment :)

Great to see all the off-track mudslinging has ceased and we're back to good racing and appropriate respect shown by the riders for each other.

Marc is getting stronger, winning three races in row he is now getting closer to Bradl on the lead. De Angelis had great pace too, can be in the mix and leading for some corners. Randy Krummenacher, sounds great when his name mentioned, great race.

Agree, great race MotoGP. Interesting race in every group of riders who were battling for a potion. Strong race of Stoner, clever race by Lorenzo. Glad to see Dani is back on business, congrats for the victory. And Spies took it from Sim in the last stint, what did he actually want to say with that leg gesture? perhaps Give it when I want it, give in to me. :)

Thrilling race. Amazing comeback ride from Pedrosa after the injury. He really is in a different league at Sachsenring. Beautiful move by Lorenzo at the last corner, caught the napping Stoner even after making a mistake. Casey has been having tyre problems for the last two races now, probably a setup change is needed? Also, Valentino once again proving what a great racer he is, almost took 7th after starting in 16th. He's still got it, just needs a faster bike.

Marc Marquez is the next.....well, Marc Marquez. I believe we are seeing a special rider, and definitely one to watch for the future. In half a season of his debut year in Moto2 he has already figured it out. Bradl still has a pretty sizeable lead, and even if he finishes 2nd to Marquez for the remaining races of the year, he will win the championship by a whisker.

125cc, well, what to say, one of the most mind-blowing finishes ever. Gutted for poor Zarco. 0.000 the gap between 1st and second. When else was a race win decided by the fastest lap? Amazing. Maverick Vinales is another star for the future, but he's still got to learn a bit more, and he's doing it fast! All in all a good weekend of racing. :up:

Did Corny survive, or is he still recovering from the weekend? lol

Hehe yeah I have survived :D haha thankyou

For sure was a great great weekend, every time a GP bike (specially Honda) comes past it remains to be special. Clearly the best bikes in the world

Will post some pics later on :D
