Can JR gain back some ground on the super on form Toprak?

Will Redding turn things around for the Aruba team?

Regardless of results,I'm looking forward to some good racing. 8-)

He didn't seem to be doing much anyway.

Ha! That was a cool watch,anyone thinking JR is a miserable boyo needs to watch and reevaluate!

I love watching a racer at the very prime of their skills,the dominance of Doohan or Rossi never bothered me,just left me in awe to watch the very best of the best. He's something special and not just at Assen.

It's such a shame the planets didn't align to allow JR a Motogp ride,I think Honda played their part in that by stringing him along and he stayed faithful for too long. Given the average age of entry into GPs now,Rea is too old for a top seat and really why would he go for anything less.
