    Me as well .I think the issue may be that if its getting a bit predictable the cameras should focus down the line a bit as one thing is for sure there will defiantly be small battles going on and I would rather watch Edwards toughing it out at the back than to be bored !

    I`m glad i recorded it, i skipped most of it.As you say Giv, there is more often than not alot more interesting stuff going on at the back, like people hopping off when their brakes don`t work!

    Is that what happened, Parrish and Cox never gave any follow up on what happened, nothing on MotoGP web site either. I wondered if that was the reason....
    Wasn't riding an ABS Blade was he ??

    yeah we saw his front dive down under braking and then just as fast pop back up again, no brakes, so he bailed, well that's how it looked to me anyway?
    the BBC seem to end the program real quick, as usual :(
    I hope BT sport do a better job next year?

    If he didnt bail out, then i take it he`s been getting tips from Didier Drogba on diving?

    Looked like his throttle stuck open, that's what Eurosport reported that bike was doing some serious speed through the gravel

    Hmmm ... What's wrong with hitting the kill switch ??
    A much less bruising option I would have thought !!

    As for Mr Cox, whoever thought that employing a race reporter who, by the sound of that cough, must have quite the smoking habit, was a good idea needs sacking.
    Steve Parrish I can suffer as he has been there and done the job, though the one BBC gem I will miss when BT take over next year will be Azi Farni, maybe not everyone's cup of tea but IMO she is a cheeky little minx and on the business level seems to be able to put whoever she interviews at ease and get them chatting.

    Likewise with Ms Farni.
