Only got to watch the Moto 3, but still good value.

Saw it live and from a few laps into the start .....just like the last one with Pedros and Rossi swapping places in the battle for second.

Glad Marquez stuck it to Lorenzo. The Ducati surprised me considering they usually weren't that good to keep with the top three or four Jap bikes.

Sounds like it is "ON" next week at Malaysia between Lorenzo and Rossi were Marquez winning or losing might determine the end result for the Championship

Best mc race I have seen - even Jonathan notLivingSton seagull made an impact - and left a hole in the fairing the size of a fist! Rivetting viewing. R the Ducatti's v-twins coz they have the power advantage? I thought the 4's were the optimum configuration - praps not.

Yeah St Geoge - an absolute rocketship down Gardiner straight! Showed me the real skill of Rossi in the very close company of far superior machinery in terms of top end speed.

I was at the track watching the race and it certainly was exciting, I was astounded at how quickly Marquez caught Lorenzo in the final lap and managed to pass in the final corners to hold on and win . . These bikes are rocket ships . . I'm glad I don't own one . . May come back again next year!
