Didn't see a thread for this so thought it warrants a mention. Great race in Motegi, Japan today. Marc Marquez finishes 2nd behind Lorenzo who won by about 3 seconds. Great race and Rossi was strong finishing 3rd :thumbup: .

Marc becomes the youngest person to win consecutive premier class world titles at 21 years old and 237 days. The guys a freak and I love watching him ride just as much as Stoner. Those 2 in the same team would've been awesome to watch.

Great day of Motorsport really with Bathurst (what a race), MotoGP & F1. Wifey is not too happy with me!

He said earlier this year that he'd like to try an F1 car.
Hopefully someone gets him a test in one, he's to most exciting two-wheel talent since Rossi first emerged!

I'm glad that Marquez has won, but maybe there wasn't a thread because the first time those of us without BT Sports get to see the race is tomorrow evening? I know it was pretty much a sure thing, but spoilers, man.

Oh sorry. We get it free in Oz. We used to get Quali and Moto2 & 3 as well but just this year that disappeared to pay TV :(

I just figured people didn't care so much.

No worries, it's done, I know now, it's just for people coming to talk about the GP that haven't seen the race.

He is out of this world. An alien amongst the four aliens.

Stoner's speed + Rossi's racecraft = Marc Marquez
