Aragon motogp ***may say results***

I had just managed to forget the paintwork.

The Repsol colours were truly awful.

Looked like a Wotsit with 2 wheels. No wonder Dovizioso crashed early to get off the abomination.

That was one of the best races I've seen in a long time. I've watched it twice now.

The smaller classes have been far more entertaining than Moto-GP this season.
You've got to feel for Scott Redding, he's at such a disadvantage because of his size, its really good to see the improvement he's made in the last few races.

Well done to Bradley Smith for coming from so far back on the grid to finish a close 6th. He shot through the crowd in the later stages of the race.

Did you see the pic of Redding's tyre after the race? It had fallen apart!

Nice to hear about Smith's new three year deal taking him up into GP. Although I was wondering, yes he seems a bright spark but he's getting a GP ride ahead of other riders such as Bradl? Or have I missed something? (quite likely!!)

Scott Redding is as quick as any of them,but he routinely fades late in the race maybe because he destroys the tyres.A bit like Iannone who seems to be learning how to finnish the race as well as pass the others?
Danny Kent is rapidly improving with experience as well.He could go far.

Yep - once again, the moto2 race trumps the main event for the best racing of the weekend!

I don't think Scott's size necessarily gives him a disadvantage, there are quite a few taller guys in the paddock. He has shown his pace to run at the front but he is really hard on tyres and so tends to fade towards the end
