I know it's days after the event, but did anyone see the remarkable race at Silverstone. After Dovi was taken out and Rossi clearly didn't have the speed, one could be forgiven for thinking Marquez might be lapping people by the end. Alex Rins rode a fabulous race, sticking to Marquez like poo to a blanket. I was so far to the edge of my seat at the end of the final lap I was about to fall off. Who'd have thought Rins could pull off an amazing pass and an 0.013 second win? Amazing.
As the commentators love to say "The sport was the winner today". It's stupid because Alex Rins was the winner. What is good is knowing that Marquez cannot guarantee to have it all his own way.

Yes, watched 3 of the 4 FP,'s watched Q2 and the race. Great performance by Rins with a great move to take the win. Typical great race by Marquez. Great race by Vinales who really needs to learn how to start. Rossi is doing about as good as Rossi can do these days.
Doesnt seem to be much interest around here for MotoGP

Fantastic race win by Rins, half a wheel length. The Moto2 race was a good one also. That first lap scary crash between Doizioso and Quartararo was most unfortunate as these two may have been there at the end also.

BeinSport still has Moto GP and SBK , I went from Direct TV to Dish AND saved about $50 a month with more channels.
I was at Silverstone 40 years ago with the epic race between Roberts and Sheene and my favorite racer Wil Hartog
I will never forget that race !!!

I watch with only the Video Pass and love MotoGP racing. It was a special treat to see MM93 not dominate another race. Rins earned and won that race!

Was a great race. Was a bit scared for Dovi - he’s having a Dani Pedrosa-like year. Rins was great and Suzuki is coming on as a competitor. I heard on of the talking heads say that Honda needs to build a bike that someone other than Marc Marquez can ride fast and I couldn’t agree more.
Marc got his necessary ego check and the rest of the season will be fun since Marc is safely ahead and nobody really has much to lose.

It's been a good season all round. In spite of Marquez' dominance, he's not been without challengers this year which has led to some very exciting racing. Dovi is his match in the right circumstances and Rins outplayed him elegantly at Silverstone. I'm really looking forward to the final races and am disappointed not to be heading to the Australian GP this year.
