Great 125cc race... (saw it yesterday recorded) Kalio did a great catch up race... too bad he couldn't win.

Yee... Nr 81 Robert Muresan finished as a wild card on 27th...with bike problems.

Any news on B. Smith state?
 
Gladt to hear that Bautista, Kallio and Luthi will move to 250s next season. Will be a fantastic season, hopefully I can pay closer attention to it.
 
After the crash at Brno Bradley Smith fractured his left wrist and i wanted to know if he can race at Sepang..
 
Smashing news, Teo.

Which makes me think, motogp will not get anymore talented rookies in 2007, I presume?
 
There's a rumour about De Angelis going to D'Antín Ducati. But I don't think it will happen. And De Angelis is not that good either.
 
As I know, De Angelis is gonna stay in 250 for another year... Probably he'll be again in Aspar team, with Hector Barbera as teammate...

is it just me or is the 250 class gonna be very crowded next year, with all these guys staying put, and the cream of the 125 riders moving up?
 
Spot on Richo, it should be thrilling stuff. I've been rather bored with 125s and 250s this year and haven't followed very closely. Next year I will be hard pressed to miss a 250 race.
 
+1 Ooost

Can't wait for next year 125cc and 250cc!!
At 125cc i have my hope that romanian rider Rober Muresan will get a whole year ride( don't know where yet...could be toth team)

Kallio at 250cc that sounds great... god can't wait!!!!

Too bad that there will be the long winter brake!!!

I have really waited to see Mika in higher class. Good to see Lüthi and Alvaro also to move up. By the way, of last three 125cc champions who have stayed in the class two (Vincent, Lüthi) has had very tough season and Poggiali didn't win second title either.

This year 250 didn't really get new riders into top spots unlike year ago when there Dovi, Stoner, Lorenzo and Barbera came.

Hopefully Aspar expands to 2 bikes there (and enters less in 125s). KTM has most likely two factory bikes while Honda and Aprilia would have at least four.

125 would then get another new champion, but we have to see entry list before making predictions. Wasn't expecting Bautista to be so good this year. Before 2005 I was counting him among the favourites but he had awful year. Probably he wasn't just comfortable with Honda.

That's a shame. This year hasn't been very succesful for rookies and this continues the trend. Bradley has 8 points and Bradl 4, others still without score.

Is it so that P.Espargaro isn't counted as a rookie because he didn't start the season. He raced in Catalunya as a wildcard (and finished 13th) but then got permanent place since Brno. And if so is he still rookie next year?

I can remember Robbin Harms being classified as a rookie in 2004. Before that season he had few races in 1999, one race in 2002 and half a season in 2003 IIRC.

Saw the highlights of the 125, OMG there was a few crashes which warranted a restart.

I witnessed one rider highside leaving his bike stranded in the middle of the track, only for another to hit it square on sending pieces of carbon fibre everywhere and the rider flying down the track like superman. Bautista done a great job again by the looks of it.

250 was fairly predictable with Lozzy battling Dovi for the win and De Angelis taking a credible 3rd place. Aoyama was in the hunt until the KTM died on him.

I did hear talk of a new British team Honda UK entering both classes, that would be interesting and would expect to see Chas back in 250 and Bradley Smith getting a transfer in the 125 as i cannot see the Repsol team keeping him.
