Surely was. Some epic racing and a great atmosphere too.

I would love to do a proper trackday at Silverstone after the two laps i did on Thursday. It seems a great track to ride.

Me too, I seem to have burnt the bags under my eyes (giggle) poor Bradley was doing so well and had a cracked rear wheel by all accounts!

I used to have a thing for MotoGP at Donny, but have to say that Silverstone wins hands down.
With grandstand seating at Woodcote, a big screen right in front of us and beer on tap right through the weekend, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Just watched the race... Now that was a good race, waiting a bit for the lorenzo wine about the overtake.

Lorenzo has deffo got the bit between his teeth, I think that battle is going to hot up as the season closes down. Props to Dovi, that duke was looking pretty comfortable. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come from the ducati camp (y)

Did anybody watch moto 2 and see Jeremy McWilliams getting lapped ? I hope he was paid a shite load of money, two pretty nasty crashes in practice and pole and then getting lapped in the race my question has to be why do it ?

I think you answered your own question. If someone paid me I'd do moto2, but I'd have been lapped 10 times :D

I think it was also partly down to a bit of testing, using the air time as a great platform to show case your intentions as a bike manufacturer like that with massive history.
I was trying to time the laps and he was consistent, but about 10 secs slower than the rest.
