    I'd have to say the BBC coverage is more in depth that Eurosport and I often switch to the red button after the race, then watch the re run on Eurosport.. :)

    Just got back , a long day but well worth it and cracking races.

    had 20 mins que to get in around 8Am and 30 mins to get out via the forest area this afternoon but not issues and

    the best bit is both the wife and kids really enjoyed it so hoping some weekend camping with the family and added racing will start with us now

    Giv's sky was obviously tuned to the craft or cookery channel. Did you see Stoner in the last 5 mins. of qualifying, absolutely brilliant.

    ignoring Lorenzo and pedro ( a bit boring that part) I enjoyed the race. Was good to see 4-5 guys racing for the last podium and nice to see the Ducati's getting better in the dry. I never seen what the reaction from Stoner or bautista when Stoner did that hard move on bautista. I was thinking if it was done but bautista then Stoner would be asking for his head on a stick

    Looks like Bridgstone left their left side grip at home this weekend.

    My complete lack of talent will hopefully preclude me from ever finding out where a Bridgestone MotoGP racing slick's limit of adhesion is. I'd feint long before approaching those kind of cornering speeds mate.
