Funny to watch The Turd and Jorghey walking back to the podium completely ignoring MM. I respect JLOs riding, but just find it so boring. Anyway, MM just needs to finish 4th. It's very rare he finishes off the podium.

Yeah hes been incredibly consistent in his first year. He is also durable in crashes and a good healer. Physically more durable than Pedrosa, but then again who isnt?  Tends to crash in practice rather than the race.  Lorenzo and Pedrosas crashes cost them dearly this year, but then so did MMs black flag.
Come on Valencia.

With only four factory rides  ( yes I know about ducati) worth their salt, how can he not not take the championship, well unless he comes off of course.
There are only two riders in moto gp, JL and MM, the rest are so far behind in skill and or equipment  they  are obstacles on the way to victory lane

This could become a Rainey/Schwantz rivalry over the next few years. Should help the sport if Rossi retires. Also MM and his cohort are Moto GPs answer to One Direction, good for business.

Moto2 Spoiler...






























Terrible crash on the first lap (again!!). Redding was ambulanced out. I'm not done with the race so not sure how bad, but it looked really bad when I watch it.  Sad

*UPDATE* Riders ok, or at least as ok as you can be when you have a crash like the one they suffered. Pretty sure that Espargo will end up winning the championship.

What a ride by Lorenzo, he just knuckled down and got the job done, I there are haters out there , but I really respect him for his grit and determination. What a great rider

i totally agree.

he's just such an asshole otherwise.

Lorenzo has greatly improved from his days as a Rossi teammate on Yammyhammer. All you have to do is look at his total d-bag "space walk" outfit and flag planting days to see how far he has come. He hasn't done anything in the last couple of years to make me cringe or puke. He hasn't even jumped in a pond in a long time! laughingdp It's called maturity. MM has it in spades given his youth. He even smiles and gives respectful interviews when others in his position haven't. And by that I include other sports not just GP scooter racing.

Next race will be a barn burner. I thought it was over a couple of races ago. Glad I was wrong. waytogo Dolph popcorn

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

MM will likely take his championship, but I have to say he has been incredibly lucky this year.  He has had a handful of very nasty offs in practice that could easily have wrecked his season.  I can't imagine he'll make it through all of next year without injury if he has as many weekend crashes again.  Amazing kid though.  He and Jorge should have some great seasons against each other.

Espargaro giving the international f u sign was hilarious.  Last race qualifying Hernandez vs Esparagro gesturing angrily at each other was funny as well.

Was sad for Rossi running off. He clawed back a bit.

So it's coming down to whoever wins in Valencia then between JLo and MM?

I guess we know who will win the championship then.  Where is Bautista when you need him to knock off a champion Smiley.  (Relax I am just kidding, hmmm a little knock maybe)

What the hell happened to Espargaro  today Shocked
The commentators thought he might have bailed due to brake failure. He was very angry and did the " big make the beast with two backs you" to someone, but I couldnt tell who who it was. Maybe he got clipped and lost the brakes later.

to me it looked more like he slipped off the bike transitioning his body in set up for the turn....
