Talk about here.
Firstly Moto 2 Wow.This series should have top billing really.40 starters and a brilliant race.

Waiting for a few more moves.....

2nd half was better

[G]

Moto2 is a considerably better watch nowdays. It really is good.

125's. Now that was racing! Wow.

125----Wow again.
The Motogp race was good,or the battle for 2nd was anyway,but it was vastly overshadowed by the other two classes.I know Ive been harping on about this for a couple of years,but Motogp is doomed if it doesnt address the problem of only having a handful of bikes on the grid.They need at least another ten starters.

They are aren't they? I thought next year was seeing the introduction of prototypes and road based bikes? Might be wrong though.
Well I just got back from silverstone. Had an ok time nit great though unless you arrive mad early n get a good spot and sit there all day then you can't really see much, spent most of the time watching the big screen...couldve don't that at home really.
all good fun though!!

Having another 10 starters wouldn't do it any good... it would just make it like the 125's, as how much of the riders past 5th did you see today... nothing really!

The Moto2 has it right, everybody on the same engine, making it pretty much 100% rider ability, which is what it should all be about.

The MotoGP wasn't bad today, but I think they should give the manufacturers a bhp limit and rev limit so they are move evenly matched.

As for Casey Stoner... does anyone else see him taking over Pedrosa's personality of being the grumpy one? I'm really getting sick of him having excuses... if he's not winning he can't be happy, or say he wasn't goo enough... there's always something, like today was arm pump and 90% of the time their grip is crap or something. No doubt he's a great great rider, but I don't like him purely because of his attitude, compare it with Hayden who had a horrendous year last year... and it stinks!

Just got back from the track, and really enjoyed today's racing Just disappointed that Hayden missed out on a podium, think he deserves it after last year!

125s and Moto2 were fantastic, such consistently good viewing from those classes Would be nice to see a few more riders in the MotoGP though - the grid is looking very sparse these days!

Where did you watch from btw? There was some decent viewing at Copse, with a big screen opposite and banks/steps to sit on. Not a major passing place, but there were some bits and pieces going on there, so may be worth a try next time.

We had a bit of a scout around for viewing places, but it's hard to figure out where the best spots are going to be the first time you're at the track, especially with the new layout. Would be interested in anyone else's thoughts/recommendations...
