Ok I know this feature died for a while (damn A-levels...) but now I am reviving it! :)

Monday
The Italian track used by MotoGP, Misano, was renamed "Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli" and unveiled today in honour of the late Marco Simoncelli.
Tuesday
Lorenzo has confirmed he has signed a two year deal with Yamaha, as opposed to relieving Honda of their empty seat upon Stoner's exit. I for one thought he would swap to the orange, red and white of Repsol...
Wednesday
I thought this was quite fun. The British boys across all three classes took part in pub games Olympics with the MotoGP guys taking bronze, Moto3 silver and Moto2 (the best class anyway!) winning gold for their efforts!
Thursday
After Pol Espagaro's somewhat controversial crash a couple of weeks ago at his home circuit(http://motogp-annie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/marquez-penalty.html), his mood is on the up taking a positive view towards Marquez and the incident: "Having him as an adversary will make me stronger and bigger, because I have to work twice as hard to beat him. We do not need to be friends, but we need to feel a fierce mutual respect and admiration for each other." (Full quote can be found here: http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2012/Silverstone+Pol+Espargar+preview)
Friday
"Road to London for Sic" ends in Silverstone after a seven day trip by the Morciano Vespa Club to bring a replica Simoncelli helmet to be auctioned off along with a shirt and photograph auctioned off in aid of Riders fro Health and the Marco Simoncelli Foundation.
Saturday
Bautista grabs an excellent first pole position in the MotoGP class before British weather ruins the fun! Although Stoner and Lorenzo did go back out looking for a pole but to no avail, which is defiantly for the better!
Sunday
Today it defiantly has to be the results of out boys! In Moto3 Danny Kent got 6th and John McPhee 28th, with Danny Webb not finishing. Moto2 saw Scott Redding beat Marquez to a well deserved 2nd place and Brad Smith forced down to 7th after battling at the front for the first few laps along with Gino Rea finishing 24th. MotoGP saw Cal Crutchlow start at the back of the grid, after an ankle injury which nearly caused him to not start the race, and come through to finish 6th, with James Elison 14th! So a good day all round! :)
