My son and father-in-law where there. Johnathon, my son, said it was a fantastic race when I saw him yesterday.
Lots of piccies etc. A walk around the paddock before the race etc. They had a really good time.

I watched it last night and it was deffo edge of the seat racing, brilliant.

Poor Hopkins thought, he looked devestated when they were trying to interview him.

But there can be only one...

…and this is the reason most woman (not all, but most) hate motor racing.

Spectacular race though!

Yeah, sorry about that Staff.

I don't get to see BSB very much, due to me only having freeview and they seem to show the races at strange times, like 2.00am in the morning!
So, i'm not really up to speed (sic) with it all, although it was a damn sight more exciting than the ever depleting MotoGP grid, even Moto2 is overshadowing it.

BSB and Moto 2 are fantastic compared to everything else. It will be good to see the 125's change next year as well, that should also be even closer racing then. (Not that it hasn't been close this year!)

In my opinion, the best racing ever was in the 80's when they picked the keys out of a crash helmet for an RD350 LC supplied by Yamaha and jumped on and rode it. Every bike was the same and the racing was brilliant. Leave it to the rider and then we see who is really best.

One of the best races I've seen in years

Absolutely awesome racing.
Whitham and Burnicle (my favourite commentary team) were priceless too.
Sorry for hopper and Shakey though. Maybe it would be fairer if the showdown allowed the worst result to be dropped. They both deserved more after their season-long performance. Tommy deserved it too, mind.
600s weren't too shabby either.
