    It was the bit of the suspension the tyre was attached to I think (was watching at the time). Being Eurosport they didn't stop coverage - even when there was blood all over the place - grim.

      In which case, as has already been said, you want to watch the motorbike racing. Seeing 40 125 bikes on the grid and then watching them pile into corner 1 is mad enough but then watching the lead chop and change throughout the race and they still go 6 deep into the last corner is bonkers!! You don't get that in car racing (the 6R4's were pretty mad though!!).

      I was at the British MotoGP the other week and it was a good day out. I wouldn't want to go to F1 for the cost and the fact it's a procession.

        Touring cars is also a fraction of the price.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          You might not get them 6 deep in touring cars but three abreast bumping and barging into a corner is normal, despite the fact that it's supposed to be non-contact racing

            Bike racing also has some magnificent personalities. The off track handbags are well interesting too.
            The Rossi and Biagi feud over 10 years was superb. Foggy pissing off everybody particularly Frankie at Assen provided so much entertainment.

                  He gave an interview where he said JT hasn't got the heart to win MotoGP. Why the cock can't keep his gob shut is beyond me..

                    I sort of like Foggy, though having read his biog I am not such a fan as I was. He is usualy a straight forward kind of guy, and doesnt usualy have a hidden agenda (unless he is double bluffing).

                      I went to Silverstone in 1999 - saw Schumacher break a leg.
