All would be safe.... I did not mention the result.

I did not see MOTO2 so do not know about the faller.

I was cross with myself Frank for coming on here. But I knew he only needed to finish about 20th to win the championship

It was a horrible crash, he was treated on the track and taken to the medical centre. He came off his bike and as he bounced along the track another bike hit him in the head. Then that rider came off too

Just seen it on BBC sport.... horrible. The good thing is that there are no reports of serious injuries.

Last race of the season tomorrow. Marquez on pole, Lorenzo second.

Even if Jorge makes a flying start the circuit looks to suit the Honda. That super long straight, followed by another down to turn 2, are all about power.

As us F1 fans well know the infield is ultra tedious. The turns do not come up on each other quick enough to make it a challenge, but neither are they far enough apart to set anything up, so it becomes a procession.

Jorge's only hope is for Marco to fall off.

He didn't!
Blimey, the first half of the race was a bit lively. I've never seen Lorenzo bang fairings with another rider so many times.
Marquez probably deserves it; but for me the rider of the season is Lorenzo.
He won on tracks he shouldn't have with a bike that wasn't the best on the day; and he did it repeatedly. That's the mark of a champion.

[Workingman]

No he didn't!
Marquez, a rookie on the fastest bike on the grid, probably just deserved it from Lorenzo the man with the road craft and tactics.
He very nearly made that pesky infield work for him in backing everyone up to give him a chance of a Marquez mistake, but it got a bit too risky - exciting though.
