congratulations to Alex bsb champion

OMG OMG OMG

What a weekend of racing

Spoke to a couple of users all ready and that was a big cock up by Shakey to drop it in race 2 after Alex had already dropped it.
Bless him he could of used that to his advantage being a world champion and all

I really wanted Alex to do it and come race 3 he did

Sorry a spoiler here but Sykes did it toooooo.

But what a cock up Moto GP was

Some good tight racing in bsb, was a good watching,

As for motogp, yes what a cock up all because they couldnt sort the tires out!!

I got a sneaking suspicion that the reason they don't test the tyres there is something to do with the nature reserve and the penguins.

I've been to Phillip Island, the nature reserve for the penguins is a good 10km away, and on the south west of the island, the circuit is on the east. Fabulous place, just wished I was there when there was racing

Post race interview with Bridgestone rep said Dorna had not scheduled any test time there, so they were flying blind. To be fair Dunlop had the same problems with Moto2 tyres, so I think its Carmen and his flunkys who need to shoulder the blame for the whole farce.

Its funny though, I sent a text to Burnthouse on Saturday evening mentioning it wouldn't surprise me if Marquez pushed the lap allocation to try to get ahead, annnndddddd look what happened, they reckoned it was a lap mis- count, thinking they had 11 laps not max of 10, but personally it wouldn't surprise me if there was a bit of 'accidental' mis- understanding, just so Honda could wrap up Marquez's title this weekend.

fair play to Crutchlow, Bautista and Rossi, that was racing worth watching !
