Fantastic last-ever 125cc race.

Fantastic Moto2 race.

And, shockingly, a really good GP race. Shame about the turn 1 cluster-make the beast with two backs. Also a shame about Spies getting destroyed by Stoner on the final straight.

Goodbye and good riddance, 800cc.

Can't wait for the year of the 1,000s to start. Sorry to see it may just be the Honda, Yammyhammer, Duc show. It will be interesting to see what CRT bikes make it. MotoGP needs to do something to make the grid stop shrinking! Who wants to watch a GP race with 12-13 bikes on the grid from 3 manufacturers? Zzzzzzzz....

Suzuki has been testing a 1000 but it's not ready and won't be until a bit into the season.  But it's at least looking quasi-likely they will stay.  Bautista tests the 800 tomorrow. 

On Saturday reports sounded like they would be racing in 2012.  On Sunday it sounded more 50/50.

Bautista tests the 800 tomorrow. 

 

Why??

Massive high side by Takahashi in the Moto2 race!  Bradl's looked decent as well but I only saw the quick on-board shot.
