Well that's the last one for this year done then.....
Got to say was upsetting to see the JL99 is out and not coming back. I know some hated him and some liked him... personally i liked him and liked his riding style. As the commentators said he has beaten them all at there best.... unfortunately Honda and anybody other then Marc dont mix.... lets see how Alex gets on next year taking over the seat and riding with his brother.

I don't think Alex and the factory Honda will be a winning, or even well-placed, combination anytime soon. He has a quite different character and riding style to alien brother Marc. It's certain that Honda won't fundimentaly change their beast of a bike to suit such radicaly different styles so it's Alex that'll have to adapt.
It's gonna be an interesting MotoGP season next year.
