The third dimension
No-one started it yet, so I thought I would. hope it's a dry afternoon. Apparently it's gonna rain later in the day.
 
That ginger nut takes the lead off the start. BassPete would be thrilled...
 
Awesome finish! Great race by Redding and held his ground well. Glad he beat MM. Espargaro rode well for the win.
 
Good stuff from the tall kid! Marquez looking less invincible all the time.

Yeah, for a rider that will probably be the cause of the removal of the "rookie rule" for next year, he sure looks a bit average of late.
 
Then again, third aint that bad

Rookie rule scrapped in 2013.it will be back in 2014.



2013 all teams to have 1 bike except Repsol riders they can have 2



Moto3 Moto2 champions to be banned the following season unless they ride for Repsol and are Spanish



CRT The future



MotoGp is great Thank you Dorna

I think you have summed it up most accurately.
 
The ride of the race for me was Redding. Marc made every attempt to pass him, and Redding would not be denied. Sometimes if u just want it more u rise to the occasion. Its my absolute belief that is whats happening between Jlo vs CS in the top class.



Great ride by Esparagus made easier by scrap behind him. Nice to see Smith make an appearance. Looked scrappy for a couple laps, then what? Tires? Chassis? Whats the deal? I dont know, but i'll be surprised to see him in MotoGP next year.



Luthi, rode for points.



I like Crazy Joe. If Duc dont quit, which they should, then i'd put him on a Duc if he was dumb or desperate enuf to accept it.
 
If ginge is in MotoGP next year I'll be surprised - he looked good at the start of the race then he completely lost control

It kinda looked like he couldn't turn the bike into the corners at times.

Think Neil Spalding said Tech3 made some quite big changes to setup for this race. It was meant to give Bradley more confidence in the front and let him really throw the bike into the corner. Looked like it worked for 3 or 4 laps, then it started to go away from him.



Love Crazy Joe. He will be a good bet for a Duc ride. That said, if Gresini run a decent spec Honda next year, might he get that chance ???



Redding was immense. He won't be bullied by anyone

loved his elbow in the early laps

great ride by espargaro and redding,those 2 deserve a shot at something better than a crt just as much,if not more, than marquez whose special exhaust paid by my taxes didn't help him too much



a bit disappointed to see lüthi not up there with them, but smart by him to rather collect some solid points than to push it too far.i guess his off on friday may have affected him a bit
 
His exhaust isn't payed by your taxes cliche. BanCaixa payed 2 years of sponsorship in advance.

One of the team members was interviewed by TV5 and asked about this.

yeah, on credit. and i bail them out now!



just joking

doesn't change the fact that i don't have too much sympathy for marquez and his squad. espargaro is just too likeable to not want to see him win their battles
 
Wilairot seems to be getting along well with the Sutter chassis... WTF is up with Rea?
 
After this race i'm thinking...is Marquez in trouble?



2 races in a row he made a mistake and seemed to be riding over the limit. I don't think it will be as easy for him as it was in 2011 (despite ....... up the first few rounds and obv getting injured...im talking consecutive race wins).

Espargaro just seems really on pace. Redding needs his tires to last and he will be too. Luthi and Iannone randomly really fast.



The championship will be really close...I Love [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]MOTO2! [/font]
