The original race was red-flagged on the opening lap following a huge accident involving Loris Baz and Pol Espargaro. Baz required the most treatment at trackside, but waved as he was moved to the ambulance.

Just a heads up for any bike fans with access to Eurosport.
Last few hours of the Bol d'or.
Great coverage and commentary from Terry Rymer and co.

The sport is trash these dregs could not hold a candle to the riders of the nineties.

^Will admit to not watching Moto Gp for years after they dropped 2 strokes.
Get rid of all rider aids bring back 2 strokes that would shuffle the pack up a bit.
There has been 7 diffrent winners this year since the got the new tires and traction control rules.

Yes, they would.

Rider aids or not. They are better trained in all aspects so I'm sure they would adapt. Let's not forget where most climbed from. They didn't just jump straight into MotoGP.

Besides, SBK is far more interesting.

Agree. Being a motor sports addict I watch it all. Motor sports has changed big time with advance in technology. I rank SBK top of my list and F1 near the bottom these days. Was a time I prefered F1. Things change.

^Haven't watched F1 for ages. Prefer V8 supercars, Aussy style these days. Used to be mad on WRC, but that's as dull as F1.

BSB is good as well.
Racing this afternoon UK time on Eurosport 2 after WSBK.

Can you name some names to back up your statement.

Looking forward to hearing them.

Carnage in MotoGP FP3 at Aragon.

Lucky no one got seriously hurt.

Marc Marquez moved to the top of the timesheets during an incident-packed MotoGP FP3 at Aragon.

The session began with Valentino Rossi being flicked from his M1 when the rear tyre lost traction on his out-lap, possibly due to his foot slipping from the footpeg, with Alex Lowes suffering a faster fall moments later. The Englishman went to the medical centre to have his foot checked.

Pol Espargaro and Danilo Petrucci were then involved in a scary incident when the Tech 3 rider lost the front of his M1 on entry to Turn 2 - his riderless bike then slamming into Petrucci as he was about to rejoin the track from pit lane. Both were fortunately able to walk away.

In the second picture Pol Espargaro got wiped out by Marc Marquez if i was Espargaro would be thinking 2 down 1 to go.

Thanks a million I am now watching live qualifying because of you. Cool!!!

Japanese Gran Prix

Incredible turn of events. Rossi and Lorenzo crash out. Marquez wins race and MotoGP championship.
