Looks like Lorenzo will be gifted the trophy this year.   

Bugger Hey........

Gutted TBH. How can you not like Rossi? I don't want 4 races of the "Lorenzo and pals" show. Casey is crashing everywhere and pedrobot is getting whipped by Dovi.

Seriously Craigo I meant Bugger, I also like Vale, what else can you say

Tib & Fib And exposed I don't think that it could be much worse, poor fella

Don't get me wrong, I'm not slinging shit at you Nickati. I am seriously gutted, the dude is a god. It's hard to find anyone that *doesn't* like Vale.

Copy that
Apparently this will be the first race he will have missed since 1996

Footage of crash. He gets spat off badly.

Ouch.....

Just caught it, man he flew for 10-20 metres before hitting the ground.
He looked in serious pain too, lets hope it's not going to be a career ending issue a la Doohan.
Don't mean to think the worst but we all know he is getting to the end of his career not the beginning. 

I'm hearing you Matty, we just had the same conversation....................

He's had a great career. Accomplished so much. If this is it, he did it well. If he continues, even better.

Like Doohan, he will be forever a legend.

Buggar, buggar, buggar.

That's gonna be a hard injury to come back from.  Thinking the same about how Doohan's career ended.

Hmn MotoGP isn't going to be very interesting now.  Just Jorge on his own (unless Casey pulls his finger out).

man now if only Jorge would crash......

haha I am now a hated man for saying that but I want Casey back up there with a fighting chance.

Definitely dont want Criville  errrr Pedrosa to win this race!
