Wow, Lorenzo, 3 runs and 3 pole records, he will win tomorrow if he gets to turn one first, he's gonna miss the Yamaha.

Lorenzo's starts have usually been very good for several years. And he will have to run-out of tire to be passed, or it will probably take a Kamikaze pass by VR or MM to get in front. JLo is very tough when running at the front of the race.

Rossi might have something to say too, hopefully it will be a good race. I'm regretting not being there for the first time in years.

Did you usually go because it is close, or it is the last race, or you just like the location?

I started going in 05 and loved the city of Valencia , the atmosphere at the circuit and the crazy night at Cheste after qualifying, bit tamer now though . Seen a few world champions created there and have also met Lorenzo, Marquez, Crutchlow and CE on the day of champions. Couldn't go this year because of redundancy and new job but all being well I'll be there again next year.
 
Hmmm, Lorenzo gets a tyre he likes and looks to be untouchable. Shame it only happened on the last race. Is everyone running the new tyre?

That was impressive to watch him keep taking a few tenths off the lap record. I reckon Marquez might try some big moves (like Rossi on Stoner 'Laguna 08') at the start of the race tomorrow to prevent Lorenzo getting away. Should be a good race.

Fined for waving arms around ..... they should take it a step further, the riders should be encouraged to share and let everyone have a turn of being in the lead during the race. Riders championship points should be awarded to riders who give the best compliments and hugs to one another.

Yet they apparently had no problem all year with repeated direct claims by Rossi that races and a title rather than a mere single corner were stolen from him.
 
Good to see michelin pre testing lorenzos special profile tyres for next season in the race.


Stoner/dorna behind that deal....

Give them all tyres which suit them I have always said.

Lorenzo is the only one who can ride as fast or faster than MM on suitable tyres in conditions which suit him as I have also said for some time.
 
Marquez waited abit before picking up the pace..... cant look to suspicious because of last year
 
What a race.

Would've been nice if Vinales had managed to join the podium.
 
Was a good fight for the podium places for a while and if only the race had one more lap we might have seen a MM win. Congrats to Jorge though, a fitting end to his Yamaha career .
