Anybody watch?

I caught the last ten laps...

It was mad!

Ultimately a very disappointing conclusion though, I thought.

Incredibly dissappointing conclusion - they're not showing the second part of the race because eastenders is on!
Bastards.

Very good race until the faller and retirement.

After the early end I went off to another part of the house and on my return for the final six laps - to my disbelief I saw a load of old biddies nattering. It took a few seconds to sink in that it was indeed "Eastenders". Ugh.

Last I heard they were going to show the remaining laps when back to Granstand - will watch that, then go for a hoon in the sun before the thunder clouds arrive

I usually watch it on Eurosport but caught some of the action on BBC2, I cannot believe the BBC sometimes, one of the most action packed races so far this year and they have to leave it to go to some bloody horse rubbish at Hickstead (obviously a mjor sporting event in the UK).

Priorities BBC, priorities or can you do no better on the sporting front than bowls, darts and horse trials since it seems you've lost everything else. If they stopped spending the nations TV licence of useless programs they might have some to bid for the sporting events.

Eurosport showed the lot, you're in for a treat when BBC decide to show you the final 6 lap sprint

I was watching Eurosport until my 3rd power cut of the weekend. So watched the race on a mini LCD TV. Then the power came back and I caught the last 3 laps of the restart on Eurosport.

It was on at 2:25 on the BBC. Utterly nuts, the lot of them. Half the circuit was wet and the other half was dry, so obviously they all went out on slicks. Won't say the result in case anyone hasn't seen the last 6 laps yet. Well worth watching if you can

Anyone see the BSB races from Thruxton on Sky Sports? Cracking stuff, although I don't suppose John Reynolds will be sending Gregorio Lavilla a Christmas card this year. Prefer watching BSB to WSB these days!

I heard Grigorio Lavilla will be substituting for John Hopkins place on the Suzuki MotoGP bike for the next race.

Best bit of the MotoGP coverage on Eurosport was just after the 250cc race, Toby Moody came back into the commentary box giggling and with a big smile on his face and said he had just been into the Italian commentary box. Apparantly they were being very Italian, one was standing up leaning against a TV set the other lying back in a chair, feet on the desk both smoking huge cigars. Quite unlike the stats and accuracy of Toby & Julian

Just watching the MotoGP coverage on Eurosport. Nakano's crash was fearsome Glad he's mostly ok - obviously build them strong in Japan.

Awesome racing... the best IMO!!

Poor bugger must be a bit shook up though after skidding down the road at 200mph on his arse.

Fair Play to Rossi he's a bloody legend (becoming )

Did anyone see the 250cc race? Just how good is Danny Pedrosa going to become? Fantastic Rider, well done again!
