JL leads both FPs while VR struggles a bit.

maybe JL is motivated on his last ride with Yamaha.

Seems like everyone in the paddock more interested on Monday's test rather than Sunday's race.

MotoGP is at 9.00 pm.

Still amazed by VR that sometimes his practice sessions times are like crap and then he ends up on the front row of the grid by the end of quali. And sometimes quali like crap but in the race after 3-5 laps he's near the front already

Yamaha M1 is the perfect bike in 2016.

Probably he's able to tweak the bike during the practice sessions.

Then again, if it's dry...none can catch the Yamaha's.

Except when Yamaha's choosen the wrong tyres

great comeback from Binder for moto3!

A lot of moto3 riders graduating to moto2 next year. Kinda surprised KIP moving up so soon.

good thing. more reason to cheer for fellow malaysians.

i'm interested to see newcomers ktm in premeir class though. they hv been dominating in moto3.

battle between VR46 and AI29 was intense.

dun know what problem VR has, but that Ducati was fast! can feel the acceleration after each corners.

They did dabble in the premier class before iinm, i think in the 500 era. Mika Kallio should get a ride too in my opinion, poor fellow needs to be given a chance.

They were both fast but in different sections, Ducati's top speed is incredible. Let's see what happens with Iannone on a Suzuki

The awesome season is over.

9 different winners.

Underwhelming performance by VR but he's never that strong in Valencia anyway and hey got nothing much to fight for already. At least Movistar Yamaha wins the team title, small consolation.

Typical boring race when JL headed up front unchallenged. MM might have won it if not for the poor start.

Haha where is hafidz syahrin

I expect him 2 shoot up motogp next year

Can he like hakkinen of motogp

Haha same place rossi finish last year 2 give back title over lorenzo

Like Freddie Spencer, he won both 250cc & 500cc title back in 1985

Yeah I was looking for Hafidz this race, he did not time in free practice turns out he had stomach bug. But he finished the race in 17th I think. Good job. He will still be with the same team next year. He has been in the regular top 10 throughout the season, pretty decent performances. Motogp is hard to get into unless maybe if the people back home starts a team he could have a team. Like Proton KR team. Proton KR came in at the wrong time. Entering with a 3 cylinder engine when motogp was in transition from 2 stroke to 4 stroke. Maybe Honda Team Asia will enter a team in 2018, who knows.

Mika kallio was also known as the flying finn back in the day. If not for Gabor Talmacsi ignoring team orders, he would've been 125 world champion.

Now not easy to ride 2 different classes in the same day. The bikes are totally different and the rides are more exhausting. Even Rossi admits that.

Much faster & more powerful bikes, heavier too.
