Catalunya MotoGP...
 
Not exactly the MotoGP, not seen it yet.

But did anyone else catch the Moto2 today? Quite a good race, shocking crash for Morales at the end too. Bloody entertaining and shocking at the same time, but hope he gets well soon...

Moto2 was an awesome race. Start was entertaining, then the frantic waving of Ianone's pitcrew trying to get him to relinquish 1st place and then that uber crash at then end!!! Made up for last weeks pedestrian (by comparison) race.

Did you see Carmelo Morales crash on the chequred flag...scared the beejesus out of me...hope he is ok coz it looked dreadful.

On the slow mo it looked like the bike hit him...the bike almost went into the crowd...the reports says he is ok thou...but truly shocker.

Typical first corner pile-up...too many riders and not enough black stuff.

Moto2 used to be cool but Andrea Iannone seems to be escaping into the distance and ruining it for everybody.

On the slow mo it was obvious that the bike hit him in the back!!! Mental!!!

And the first corner pile up was a rider fault not too many riders and lack of space, watch the re run and you can clearly see Debon missing his braking point, going out of control and way too fast on the inside. He cuts onto the grass and then practically T-Bone's de Meglio. All Debon's fault.

Yeah he really got a pummeling from it. It was a very nasty looking ragdoll crash, the type they don't show a replay of until they're confident the rider is at least capable of waving to the crowd.

More important than anything yesterday.......Bradders broke up the Spanish Armada run of success by claiming a well deserved 2nd plave in the 125's. Well done to him.

Controversy in the Moto2 ranks where suspision abounds over Ianone's bike. Seems to be a wholelot faster than every other out there? Or is it simply his extremely agresive riding style that is squeezing all the juice out of it? Could his bike have been taking illegal substances? Let's see what happens.

Old Jezza Burgess denying all talk that he and his Boss or going to be donn9ing the red of Ducati next term. So we take that as a cert it's happening then?:)

Interesting point if Andrea Iannone's bike is a wrong'un.

Coz he does seem to walk away from the rest.

Whats his top speed? Since all bike are equal but maybe some bikes are more equal than some.
