I thought this thread was about GREAT racing action but hey, what do I know?!
Oh and he usually does not wear a watch when racing. The rest is plain silly. They guy does not even like diving p.e.

A quick Google shows a close up of him wearing a 116610LN during his Ducati days and I'm sure I've seen him wearing it recently too. I'm certain he had a BLNR on during the Thursday pressers and after the Moto 3 race, but I've struggled to find a good close up.
It's a watch forum bruv
Watching 500gps, The Rainey years on ITV4.
God those 90s 500s were good looking bikes!
I'm just getting packed to head of to Catalunya in the morning, hopefully a good weekend of racing ahead.
Beautiful day here in Montmeló. Moto3 free practice just underway.

Heart rate now declining...how do the riders manage?
I'm surprised there aren't more posts relating to today's three excellent races?! My heart was in my mouth when the rain began falling. I have to say I'm not a fan of flag to flag, far too much of a lottery element. I think the right one won though ;) Mav was VERY lucky
Or perhaps some of us haven't seen it yet!
Formula 1 was live on channel 4, there'll be a one hour Moto GP highlights show on channel 5 this evening. I expect that I'll be able to comment once I've seen it!
I won't be able to comment on Moto 2 or 3 as 30 seconds isn't really enough to get a feel for the races.
Racing in GP was fantastic once again. Crutchlow (Brit ) was so close to pulling off a fantastic race. Lorenzo is so far off being competitive at the moment. Great day

3 great races.
Fantastic to see Rossi win again & another super ride from Danilo Petrucci

I'd love to know what goes on in Lorenzos head, I was at Catalunya and he was a joy to watch. Lookong at him in this weekends race it's like he was a different person, qualified in 21st and finished 15th doesn't seem too good.
I'm looking forward to more of Zarco and if Vinales gets a grip them hopefully still some exciting races to come. (I'm sorry if I've forgotten to big up a Brit and been negative about another nationality)
Anyone from UK have FP1 and 2 from Germany yesterday recorded they can send me? Will pay for discs/post of course - had power cut so my recorder didnt work - have complete season up to now :( - thanks and massive apologies for not posting - this is busiest time of year for me - if not at work or vehicle show i'm doing wedding car duties so unbelievably not even watched catalunya yet let alone Assen.... so avoid anywhere may see results etc. Cheers folks...

...and Marquez again showing he is a little shit.
Doubly so given his sheer unlimited talent.
Impressive Espargaro on the KTM!!!
It looks as though the MotoGP race may finish just before the rain arrives.
The same can't be said for the second RBRC race later on. After a very wet race, this was the podium for Race 1, yesterday:

...spot the twins (again).
Edit: The rain is closer than was predicted an hour ago...
Update: I've just read on the link above that the RBRC Race 2 is cancelled "due to weather conditions". And while I typed that, it's gone back to "broadcast will start soon"...
14h17 I've got sound but no pictures...but they're not due to start their broadcast until 14h20. And we're live...
Race over: A good race and one of the twins on the top step...again. Mechanical fault for the other while one of the Brits slid off and the other got a point.

I know we've had a bit of a Moto GP holiday over the last few weeks, but I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the passing of 12+1 times world, champion Angel Nieto.
Apparently the 70 year old ex champ died following a quad bike accident..... RIP Angel....

Fantastic race with Dovi, Marquez, Dani, and a little bit of Jorge at the start at the weekend.
But what happened to Cal. Bad tyre choice?
I think so. Sometimes it works for him, others not.
It's clear from when they were team mates that Dovi and Cal are fairly evenly matched (apart from Dovi's superior overtaking ability) so there's no reason for him not to be right up there!
We all have occasional bad days though.
Re Crutchlow: Was that karma paying him a visit after his comments about Scott Redding?! I like Cal and he is clearly capable of sticking with Dovi, as his time at Yamaha and Ducati proved, but I think he should consider his glass house before chucking rocks.
Wonderful GP race today. Masterful is the term that occurs to me...for more than just the winner.
Edit: But if you want to see some dicing and overtaking, try the last race of the day: RBRC Race 2.

A classic race today...well worth waking up early!
Great race and great result to keep the championship alive, worth getting up in the dark for
Amazing last few laps today.
So pleased for Dovi.

Thought someone would surely crash. Lost my voice........................ The Duke team seemed well pleased.
What a fantastic last lap and great to see such skill, balls and determination from both riders. Pleased for Dovi as I'm slightly biased towards Ducati and still can't forgive MM after his debacle with Rossi 2 years ago, however you cannot deny his skill in riding that Honda to the limits and beyond, phenomenal!
Diappointed Rossi crashed and Crutchlow twice! Poor Cal is not having a great time at the moment.
My favourite has to be Zarco, for a rookie he is doing extremely well and one to watch for future world champion in my opinion.
Dovi and Marquez a consummate display in smooth riding and razor like reactions whilst sat astride 200+ bhp. Great TV and worthy win for Dovi.
In the post event interviews MM was really pleased with his ride.
indeed and up again early this weekend for Philip Island, hope its dry
Goooo Doughveee

Nail biting ending to a great race. Pleased to see Dovi take it, and that the season end isn’t a forgone conclusion. I don’t know what’s up with Cal but back to the old days of crashing...

Up early again this Sunday, at least I’ll get an extra hour in bed the following weekend for Sepang !!!
yup me too, plus gonna get up saturday for QF
As Rossi is now out of the game im praying for Doughvee now lol
Shock leader at the end of day 1, nothing between Dovi and Marquez
