    We will have to wait for everyone to catch up :D

    Not sure how you watch the racing - whether you hear Simon Crafar doing the pit lane interviews ?

    His questions seem like exam questions - does my head :D

    I did look through all the channels to see when it was on, just to be sure, but could not find any mention of the racing - ended up watching a programme about some Langur monkeys in India - which was nice :D

    That broken arm sounds a bit iffy - something about the radial nerve. If I was him I would make sure that heals before even thinking of riding a bike again, maybe not even in this year's championship.

    Definitely best bet would be to forget this season and try and get sorted for next, but I do have a lingering doubt that he won't ever be back and if he does he'll only be one crash away from from being forced out. Bad news for him but worse for Honda as they have built the bike and team around him.

    I'm gutted for Marquez, I feel the pain of the crash as if I went down myself.

    He certainly cannot carry on making a living crashing MotoGP bikes every other weekend. The falling off 20 times in a season has caught up with him. Only option would be to change to a nice sweet handling Yamaha !:rolleyes: ;)

    ******SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!******










    I watched it all weekend more or less live, yes Crafar has a weird way of talking to people that's for sure!o_O

    Gutted for Marquez but that's racing, you crash and you get injured. He's been on a knife edge for so long this was bound to happen sooner or later. Now we'll see how hard the Honda really is to ride because they will struggle to reach the podium as long as Marquez is on the side lines!:(

    Thoroughly deserved win for Quartararo though, he would have won the race anyway, won it by miles!! Again.....if he or anyone else wins the title this season there will be those who say its only because Marquez is out! Bollocks to that I say!! The title is wide open now for someone to take the opportunity and I hope they do, whoever it is, it will certainly make things a lot more tasty and they'll only do it if they don't crash!!!:)

    This is how titles are won and lost...…;)

    I can't see him packing in until he's overtaken Rossi in terms of Premier class championships, not through choice anyway.

    Not a massive MM fan but it's nigh on impossible to ignore his talent, how he a) held on to that initial 'crash' and b) stormed back through the field before binning it, is beyond me.

    I reckon he did the right thing on calling it a day today. Almost could not bare to watch him riding round in case he fell off. And his right arm was so swollen when compared to his left arm.

    If I was him I would call it a day on the Honda and get on the phone to Ducati !

    Gracias hombres - yoy esto going to ride el Ducati :D

    Manhana :cool:
