Time flies!
It doesn't feel like another year has passed but there we were again, Friday practice at Philip Island with bikes clocking 300+K down the main straight and Marc Marquez fastest again.
Only 18 points between Rossi and Lorenzo with three races to go!
Moto2 title finished at Motegi and the probability of the Moto3 victory happening this weekend.
And since we finally moved (again) I'm only a 30 minute ride to the circuit.
The KTM doesn't get much of a run.....................................................................:triumphant:
 
Great weekend of World Standard racing.
Marquez takes his 50th MotoGP win on the last corner of the last lap!!!!!!! Out-bloody-standing! Right around the outside as well.
Lorenzo was less than happy to finish second but cheered up when he found that Rossi only made it to fourth.
And 'Crazy Joe' Iannone carved them all up with a 360K Ducati to finish third.
The Duke has amazing straight line handling and 'Crazy Joe' has a very big brass pair.
Moto2 and Moto3 were as good as ever but the top four MotoGP bikes staged a race like a knife fight in a phone booth.

We are seriously looking at flight to Sepang for next weekend!
Under normal circumstances neither Sofie or I would pay money to go to Malaysia but the penultimate MotoGP championship round is one we'd like to see.
With the possibility of two World Championships to be decided we'll make an exception.

I almost forget, the weather and track conditions were PERFECT!

Not sure what happened to our US coverage, I missed the recording. I have a MotoGP.com account but still I like to watch them as close to live as I can.
