    Moto GP - Why Bother with F1?

    Did anyone watch the Japanese Moto GP at Motegi. On of the best races I've ever seen. Passing in the wet between the two leaders multiple time on the last few laps - breathtaking. I was trying to pat the dog while I was watching it and found myself grabbing her ears a few times - sorry Penny! Such a clincher!! Wow.

    I watch F1 every now and again but it has nothing on Moto GP. Moto GP has little to no aero, more rider input and just amazing racing.

    Wow

    Just watched the last 10minutes on F506 it doesn't get much better does it, I like the moto 3 you get 5 bikes close at the front it can be interesting.
    Pity Jack was out he goes alright in the wet.

    missed it

    Did not realise that it was on - until I saw the results on the news. What happened to Rossi?
    I really enjoy watching any class of motorcycle racing.
    F1 bores me now. To me it is all about the qualifying - the race results seem to mimick the qualifying results. The most exciting part about a F1 race are the first two corners and the first two laps.

    Rossi crashed out about halfway through the race.
    I think the rear tyre lost grip.
