Well, what can one say ..... an awesome circuit that always provides a great race

125's was, as ever, the pick of the action. Bradley rode an extremely mature race to a well deserved win - hopefully the start of a run for the season now

And for once, the MotoGP race was almost as good - some real racing going on! Nice to see JT do well - good call on the tyre swaps, but still made up some good places too Shame Rossi couldn't make it No.8, but still on the podium And whilst I'm far from a fan, my heart go's out to Pedrosa. Not just riding, but performing well in what must have been excrutiating pain, then to go down and be flipped over onto his bad side too If he's got sense he'll accept the championship's less important than his health and take a race or two out

Didn't see the 250's, as had jobs to do

250s were mental as ever moose,well worth a watch. Simoncelli n bautista going for it in the wet

Bradley did well and scott had a good result

Jt's performance was good but only due to his gamble,if he hadn't have done that he would have been nowhere. I thought pinching edwards crew chief would have been a good decision but obviously not

I fear rossi may struggle to the title this year as lorenzo looks to have the edge over him

Watch a bit of the 125's but like Moose had jobs to do But great what i saw. Caught all the GP and was surprised at Stoners pace as he isn't normally that quick in dodgy changing situations.

What was great you just couldn't call it.

Felt sorry for Pedrossa after the big off as its really not what the poor chap needs at the mo. If anyone is to beat Rossi this year i would rather him then Stoner or Lorenzo

Gutted for Melandri when he started going backwards.

BSB was a great watch to Thruxton always brings out great racing

bsb was good from 3rd place backwards, im shocked at how far off the pace is richards is on the hm plant bike. i ddnt expect camier to run away with quite so easily as he has,thank god there was a red flag in brands race 1 or he'd have won that one too bit like shakey last year in that the title race is almost over already-shows its not the bikes cyclinders but the team with the biggest budget and factory support

rider of the weekend for me was simon andrews- what a season hes having and without all the fancy dan electrics and the least popular superbike out there

I thought all 3 races were excellent.

Well done to Smith but i doubt he will go on to win the title tbh , more likely to finish in the top 3.

As for the main race i think if Lorenzo had not of crashed on the out lap he would of rode of into the distance , but it did make the race more interesting , but were did Stoner get his pace from? he was moaning all weekend that the set up wasnt right etc and then goes onto win.

Agree with you on the lorenzo point

Disagree on bradley, he's got the right bike,right team,a good head and also the pace and confidence to go from winning races to dominating 125 races. As long as he stays sensible he has a very very good shot at becoming world champ. Its really difficult to win 2 in a row in his class and he's now done it,he's broke his duck and looks every bit a future world champ

I suppose if he keeps his head down and stays focused and rides like he has been but he has very strong competiton from Julian Simon & Andrea Iannone.

Iannone is too much of a win it or bin it kinda guy. He had the lead of the title but that's gone away already,he also seems to have pasinis luck with break downs

Simons the bigger threat as its the same team,same bike but he has the advantage of being spanish in a spanish team which bradley doesn't have
