Brilliant run by Scott ended up with a run away win, and to top it all the youngest ever winner of a MotoGP race at 15.

What Howard said + it was good to see Colin have a good one, and I can't watch the racing there without thinking what a cracking lil track it is. :smt001

Yea - agreed Sam .... and the commentators were saying that it's rumoured the MotoGP will go back to Silverstone in a few years - in comparison a rubbish track with poor viewing.

There again, I stopped going to the MotoGP a couple of years ago when the prices went stupid and so many spectators meant it was hard to find a good place to watch from.
I watch now courtesy of Eurosport ... but, to be honest, it's not the same.
