Yeah, if VR like 10 years back vs MM now, then that will be a hell of a fight! 

Never give up till it's over.
Old but experienced.

Hopefully new riders can step up to add to the challenges. I see the trend of British riders coming up from the junior classes and the Italians seem to be a lot in moto3 too. I wish there were more potential Asian riders around though.

Yeah, time to concentrate for next year dy

One helluva save from Randy

Meanwhile in WSBK Jonny Rea retains the title. Just finished watching Race 2. In the last lap Rea just let Sykes past him in order for Sykes to secure the No. 2 in overall standing. This is purely on Rea by the way, no team order whatsoever. At the end of the race they hug each other. Pretty nice scene considering how competitive both of them.

MM wins the title mainly because:
1. He is more mature now in his race approach, more thinking of the big championship picture to maximize points.
2. Both Yamaha riders made too many mistakes.
3. Yamaha failed to improve the bike further after 2nd half of the season, or Honda had caught up.
4. Ducati still not consistent enough.

The main things to watch for next year are how MV will compare against VR and how JL will perform in the new team as well as how Ducati can improve further.

Just unfortunate that the years he beat JL were when he did not win the title while the years he lost to JL were the years JL won the title! 

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.

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.

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.
