Yep, great ride but I thought he'd blown it with those 2 hoooondas close behind on the run to the line.

very clever riding for a young fella, might have even kept something in reserve which would have taken some guts.
Well done

Yep was great viewing the boys got some race craft!

Does anyone know where I can watch the race... I missed it due to travel on a plane

Jack's got talent, of that there is no doubt but he better learn how to handle himself his attitude after the race and on the podium was disgraceful I can understand the disappointment, no one likes to lose, but his reactions and attitude were disgraceful and as a true blue Aussie had me cringing watching it didn't do him any favours IMHO and what happens next year when he gets dusted up by people who have won world championships and have earned some "attitude points", something he has yet to achieve, hope his advisers get into his ear real quick

Yes I completely agree with you Rooster. He acted like a petulant little child who didn't get his way.
I wouldn't expect my 7 year old to act like that.
Yes your going to be disappointed everyone understands that. But that reaction was disgraceful.

Think he needs a good dose of the old Aussie HTFU, and get rid of the Spanglish

Totally agree , He acted like a child that had his lollies taken off him , He has got some talent and it was a great race to watch but he needs to grow up if he's going to survive in the big world.

the dude lost the world title by two points... give him a break

i think 2016 will be a year to watch out for him on the honda. a la casey stoner

W are giving him a break if it was anyone else we would really be bagging the shit out of them but in all he does need to take the good with the bad instead of people remembering this as one of his best GP wins it will be remembered as the petulant little tool having a dummy spit

Sports people like musicians are generally highly strung and sometimes the average joe looks at them in amazement when they do something out of the blue.
Its a bit like the line between sane and insane is generally quite thin,i reckon if its a regular thing and he continues to be a dick head well that's what he is but a few rants and dummy spits on the spur of the moment are exactly that.

I agree about getting rid of the Spanglish...........it just sounds so ridiculous. If you were not looking at the screen when he spoke - it could be any spaniard up there talking about his bike or the race.......

Some of his comments interviews during the year might suggest it is becoming a regular thing
