Brilliant! :D

He's deffo a big name for the future - judging by the number of peoples' arses he kicked while racing in Spain. Apparently he was given 'team orders' a few times to save the blushes of some of the local top names!

And on a less fantastic note - Toseland - what a juggler.

Too much pressure and just too arrogant on the day.

Scott redding is amazing and after all the hype about bradley and JT he's showing them boys up too.

I think we actually do have a future champ in the pipeline but we were all looking in the wrong direction. 8O

Yeh. Such a juggler he is 2 x WSB champion, has finished well ahead of seasoned MotoGP guys this year and is also talented and personable. I'd love to be that much of a juggler personally, but I seem to have been beaten to it.

Fecking typical. Her folks were over for lunch and I missed the 125's. :( Turned on just as Tosland dumped it at the first bend. :(

Excellent for wee Scott, hope that spurs all the Brits on to better things.

Got back last night after spending a very enjoyable weekend at the GP.

Not been to a Brit GP for a few years and the circuit organisation did seem to be improved on previous years. Still a joke leaving though-3.30 hours without moving an inch 8O Until one guy decided to run over a fence and create another exit with his transit :lol: :lol: :lol: We followed suit and just made it through with about 12 other vehicles before the marshals plugged the gap :?

Bitterly disappointing weekend for JT. He binned it right in front of us on Saturday during Q2. Managed to grab a handshake off him and pass on some support, despite the magnitude of the situation.

I wouldn’t call him a juggler tbh. I think thats a little harsh. Anyone that can get on a bike like that, in those conditions, in front of a massive home crowd deserves respect imo.

You could see the lad was trying as hard as possible and ultimately due to the pressure on the weekend and a culmination of other factors he came apart. sh1t happens and at the end of the day im sure he'll be back on form at Assen.

Great result for Scott Redding. Hats off, the kid did brilliantly!

Looking forward to the next round now :)

I agree with you Rebel.

I was about 15 yards away from his crash in the race. Fair play to him. He carried on when he was obviously in a lot of pain. I don't think he's the next Valentino, but I think this weekend was more down to him just trying too hard.

Edwards was brilliant. Enjoyed watching him.

Suspect Vale could have stayed with Stoner but chose not to take the risk of binning it. The Duc is awesome (at least when ridden by Stoner). Melandri didn't seem to engage the traction control, whereas Stoner seemed to be relying on it totally.

Worth the 230 mile round trip just to hear the MotoGP bikes - and to give the VTR a rare outing.

I think this was a case of too much pressure for JT to perform in front of a home crowd on a track he actually knew for a change. Now whether that pressure was media induced or self imposed I don't know, but sad anyway as we all know he can go well.

Scott was awesome. Thought his performance was stunning. At fifteen he can't ride a motorbike on a public road. Just as well at that speed ha ha

He's a juggler for trying too hard and not just accepting that it had gone tits up in qualifying. It was a really stupid mistake and I woulden't expect that of a two time world champ.

That doesn't mean I don't respect or like the guy - thats just how he performed on the day. When he makes up for it in Asen this w/e i'll cheering for the boy. Dissapointed is all - so wind your necks in.

Redding rode out of his skin, above his weight an against all odds and if he carries on like that will be another Rossi/ ago/ hailwood.

If he gets the same breaks and makes an butt of it i'll be calling him a juggler too.

Also stoner, fuuullll respect. He's an awesome rider and doesn't get the due respect from the british fans.

This thread is mutating into something far from what it started off as, which was a CELEBRATION for a young lad who's achived something that many before him have failed to do!!!!!

I've no doubt Scott will be a very big name in the future, but he's also likely to have offs, bad meets, crap bikes, and dodgy tyres along the way, that's racing!

Let's not slag off people who are far far better riders than we could ever hope to be just cos they have a bad day at work. Even moreso, let's not start bitching at each other because of it.

Hopper is now deffo out for this meet and possibly the next two cos he had a bad day at the office, don't make him a to55er IMO.

"John Hopkins is to fly home to the U.S. to recuperate after suffering ankle and tibia fractures in a high-speed qualifying crash at the A-Style TT Assen on Friday afternoon."

How many DNFs were there at TT this year?

Remember Michael and Joey? Big Dave? need I go on?

Good luck to Scott for today's race - I'll be watching with interest.

Just my 2 penneth

Shan't say a bad thing about the man again (A bit blinded by the sun shining out of his butt anyway)

Poor old bradley eh? he nearly did a stoner on them. Those lads had some big offs today. :eek2

Poor old hopper - thought he was dead. I reckon he was actually lucky even though he's wrecked. :cry:

Poor old randy DP - actually balls - Rossi couldn't have knocked off a more deserving guy. :lol:

Fantastic for Edwards as he said himself, "he who laughs last laughs hardest" :lol: Poor old nicky!

Stoner is a genius. Nobody seems to be putting it down to the bike this year

While I'm on the subject - anyone find out why scott didn't race the second half today? :wink:
