from oxford aint he?

Great race from Luthi, controlled it wisely. Good from Corti and Redding too. Iannone might have been further up if it hadn't been for de Angelis' kamikaze slide. Solid effort from West on the crap bike (looks like a 1995 ZX6R or something).



It's so ...... ridiculous that Smith has a MotoGP seat for 2013. He's failing constantly, and overrated for years. Slight shame for Rea, but was his own mistake - ran wide, came back without looking, straight into Zarco's rear wheel. Shame for Zarco too, btw - would have been cool to see two French winners at Le Mans.



Effort medal for Simon.. and manlove award for Elias, tickling Luthi's arse on the cooldown, made him shiver - priceless!

Nah, I'm sure Smith is a Scott. Don't be so hard on the wee lad

Anyway, glad Marquez isn't running away with it just yet.

Oxford, Australia, all doon sooth tae me, .... him, he's a wee ginger freak.

Fausto's gettin a little sick of rebuilding bikes! Maybe he thinks the Sutter will reduce repair costs!!



Fausto Gresini “Feem had a great race. The most important thing was to finish it which he did with an excellent ninth place. He looks good on the bike and that is a positive sign for the future. Obviously there is a lot to learn and he needs to crash less because any more injuries could compromise his season.”

Fausto Gresini “I am disappointed for Gino because he was having a great race. It was nice to see him fighting at the front, I would just like to see him be a little less aggressive over the first couple of laps because he was at risk of crashing on a couple of occasions. Then came the contact with Zarco. Anyway, he has shown his potential now and adapted well to the Suter so I am sure we will see some top performances too. Obviously there is a lot to learn and he needs to crash less because any more injuries could compromise his season”

Julian Simon is my hero



I wanted to laugh and cry watching his never die attitude

Brillant stuff.

Serves him right for what he did to Gino Rea.



Great race for Luthi. I'm rooting for him to beat Marc.



Bradley, hahaha, why do Brit riders suck so much when it rains? (Except Redding today)



West, WTF, why does he do so well in the rain?



HOW THE .... DID GayAngelis not get run over? Lucky ....



Julian Sleestak Simon, he must have been watching Haslam last week. Well done to run your bike across the line. Men who do have a gutsy attitude.

simon is a great rider , after his bad luck with sofuoglu i want him to do really well



i hope lüthi and espargaro keep finishing on the podium, if marquez continues to f up every now and then they have real good shot at the title!

Pretty exciting moto2 race as usual. It was very pleasing to see Luthi take a convincing and mature win as you would expect from such an experieced and classy rider, it was especially nice considering he wouldn't have had much chance to celebrate his last win given the circumstances. I was very surprised to see Marquez crash, but these things can easily happen, I think the championship hunt this year could remain pretty tough for the bulk of the season.



It was nice to see the Brits getting stuck in, although obviousy disappointing to see things going wrong for two of them. For Gino I think he did a brilliant job of making a point that he is quick and deserves to be there, I hope they can get to suspension dialled in for dry conditions as the season goes on. I am as frustrated with Bradley Smiths results as any fan, but for now at least I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because his bike doesn't look too great at the moment. I'm not saying I think he's as good as the top 3 but I think he is a top 6 rider. Also nice to see Redding get a decent result and maintain his consistent run. I was pulling for Zarco until he crashed, which i suppose was a bit predictable. He has been very impressive though considering he is a rookie and the only rider on the TSR. His incident with Rea was pretty scary but fortunately Gino was ok, I can understand him being pretty mad but I think it was just unfortunate.

a little late on this...but yeh moto2 continues to be a great class to watch! As a fan of marquez im a bit disappointed, but good on luthi the keep the championship alive. Gino rea....just bad luck. Zarco is fast but i see bad habits from him, however he is very entertaining so good for us. Smith, damn you were fast but so far this season you're not looking like a future motogp rider. As for simon...dude i cracked up the whole 10 some odd seconds he was pushing that bike across the line but .... thats determination. Redding...fast qualifier, but he eats up tires like a fat kid eats burgers at McDonalds.



Side note...Terol...wtf haha. He is talented but I cant help but have lost (some) respect for him bc he stayed in 125 when all his rivals left just to win it.
