what a finish in the 250's! got up early (4:30 am) to watch the end of that race and the GP. i felt sorry for de angelis.. couldnt have been more closer to getting his first win. looks like lorenzo is gonna be crowned champ.. any news on whether he will step up or not??
Lorenzo has already signed with his current squad to defend his 250cc title next year.
De Angelis has an offer from D'Antín to go to MotoGP, if he doesn't take it he'll stay in the Aspar team.
Dovizioso is very unhappy with his stituation, he could either jump to MotoGP or to Aprilia in 250cc, Honda will have to give a very convincing argument to make him stay where he is.
The relationship with Lozzy is very poor now so Barberá will probably join a new team next year (Seedorf) in 250cc with Aprilia. He's also got a KTM offer on the table.
Kallio will most probably join Aoyama Sr in the 250cc KTM team.
Bautista is joining the Aspar team in 250cc next year.

I really hope for his own sake that De Angelis doesn't join Pramac D'Antin. It'd be the end of his career, you just can't prove yourself on a bike that bad!
After the first lap smash ups congrats to Bautista for a totally dominant ride and season to add.
De Angelis I think a win will come for sure. he was that close this time.
H Aoyama to replace Tamada at Konica????? interesting.

Bautista, Champion! And the way he's got will be remembered for long. He must have something that others don't. It's funny how the guy went unnoticed for three years to finally have a team at his level.

Wait a moment there. The Dutch didn't pay Bautista's salary last year. That's way he left them. I am surprised that they are still around.

apparently Konica Minolta have a new head manager and he's a BIG Tamada fan so he's willing to keep him on for next season.... weird, i know
After last year horrible season, I am incredibly happy by what Bautista has done this year, a totally deserved title! Congrats to Alvaro, one of the nicest riders in the circuit. Oh, 250s will be amazing next year, with Lorenzo staying and some of the 125s guys going up.
Poor De Angelis, did a great job, but yet can´t win! I think the boy needs some kind of spiritual help, that´s just not normal, after all of those good races he had before. And he needs so many more hours in 250cc before even considering going to Moto GP, really.

IR we really don't know this because the duc that d'antin run will be identicle to the factory bikes. at least at the start of the season. so it might not be that bad.
congrats to bautista. truly domminating! looks like chupa chips for the 250 crown!

I think the boy needs some kind of spiritual help, that´s just not normal, after all of those good races he had before. There is something weird about De Angelis. He could have been a serious challenger to the title for two or three seasons because he is fast and rides an Aprilia but, no offence, he doesn't seem to be a very shrewd racer. It looks to me that he ditches his potential victories by getting entangled in situations that others solve better. When you see him in a pack with Dovizioso, Locatelli, Lorenzo or the recently retired Porto, you can bet that the first will beat him because he is more intelligent, the second because he will play dirty, Lorenzo will bully him and Porto, well, he was the fastest of them all.
Congrats to KTM for their double victory (Kallio in 125cc and Aoyama in 250cc).
Lorenzo is now one step away of the 250 title, with 27 points of advantage and 2 races left.
Bautista is on track to beat the 'most points ever in a season' record currently held by Rossi.

^ Indeed congrats tp KTM in both classes.
Well done Bradley!!!! a superb ride and a superb weekend for the boy, and top Honda.
Pasini was like a demon riding from 12th to 3rd in a handful of laps, Lozzy was not too miffed to have come 3rd was he?
