That was a great race to watch, well done Petrucci and solid ride to a podium for Alex

Just watching the practice at Aragon, Rossi has been ruled out because of a positive test for covid ! Although this is Sunny Spain it's very cold and windy that far up the country whereas I am watching it on the box just in shorts a few hundred miles down south.

As he is the doctor he probably was able to diagnose it himself! Seriously though it's a shame for him and fingers crossed he'll be back soon enough

Awesome effort, he really seems up for the title this season

Yes, Dovi's current lack of form and lousy qualifying yesterday, may have weakened his chances, but Mir and Vinales remain very close. One bad race for Quartararo, and his gap is gone. In all, this season still seems quite unpredictable...

Well what a race, Rins wins and Suzuki leads the championship. Although Quartararo says that he had a front tyre problem the fact that he had beaten his self up just before the race couldn't have helped !
Another surprise result was Alex Marquez finishing in second place and what with Mir in third Suzuki are looking good, roll on the next round as it's all still open unlike the last few years.

Alex has certainly come on lately, it is nice to see him living up to the works ride, even though he is set to lose it next year. Pity.
Good to see Suzuki at the front of the championship too, with a little luck maybe Rins can pull it off! |

Only four rounds to go, 100 points still up for grabs, any one of the first 17 can win the title! At least for the first time since 2015 we won't have Marc Marquez win the title. Seriously though this is where the title fight really starts, who will be left in it come the final race?
Yet another winner at Aragon, well done Rins. Another great podium for Marquez Jr, he's getting better and better with more experience |

Nakagami on pole at Aragon 2 - he is only 29 points of the lead with 4 races to go...

I don't think that Nakagami will win the championship after his first lap cock up

Still a quite a way to go. I can see someone like Maverick ready to pounce should anyone else falter, but I look forward to seeing what happens.

Only three rounds to go, but anything can still happen. I will watch with interest

Yep I don't think it's a championship that you could have a sure fire bet on. The two other championships are also great to watch especially the Moto3 last lap "skittle"

Very convincing, if somewhat boring, win from Sam Lowes again to lead moto 2 and John Mac could still be in with a shout in moto3 in a series where just about anything can happen at the last minute. In a year when when you can win or lose dependent on being potentially isolated for 2 weeks it's all still to play for in all the classes.

Mixed weather in qualifying with a bit of a lottery between wet and dry tyres, McPhee on pole in Moto3.
Shame about Jake Dixon who crashed in practice and broke his wrist just as he was really getting good up the front in Moto2 and hopefully Sam Lowes will get another win. The weather is supposed to be good for tomorrow and the MotoGP will be good with the points so close up the sharp end, funny season with Mir leading the Championship for Suzuki when has never won a race at this level ! |

Well what a turn up for the books, Mir gets his first win and a big lead in the Moto GP championship with Rins second for a Suzuki 1-2 ! McPhee and Lowes both crash in Moto3 and Moto2 WTF is going on !

Feel gutted for John Mac and Sam Lowes, I've been glued to the Valencia coverage hoping for great things and to be honest both crashes looked like the riders were asking too much too early on the throttle but I'm no expert. Sensational 1-2 for Suzuki in moto gp, for whatever reason this year has been totally unpredictable but it's great to see another manufacturer at the top. I guess the Ducatis stand no chance around this mickey mouse circuit so expecting more of the same next week although the KTM's are showing good form, Espargaro's pace was impressive and Binder's ride to 7th including a long lap penalty was very understated.

I saw this in practice for the last MotoGP, it's Moto3 Japanese rider Ryusei Yamanaka crashing into his team mate ! He was checked over and was given the all clear

I saw that as well, I thought he'd broken his neck! Reminds me of myself on a paper round 60 years ago getting the paper bag tangled in the front wheel and somersaulting!
