Thought I'd get one started.

I can't wait to see the back of the 800s and electronics. Last night's race was nearly as dull as the F1 season opener!!

Can't believe Stoner dropped it under almost no pressure - that wasn't in the script.

Stoner does that quite a lot IMO.

Anyway, mon the Rossi!
It's getting kind of hard to believe things are going to get better. I've been drowning too long to believe that the tide is going to turn. And I've been living too hard to believe things are going to get easier now. I'm still trying to shake off the pain from the lessons I've learned. And if I see Van Helsing, I swear to the lord I will slay him. AHA HA HA. He take you from me but I swear I won't let it be so. AHA HA HA. Blood, will run done his face, when he is decapitated AH! His head on my mantle is how I will let this world know...how much I love you.

Agree totally, junk the electrics, I watched Classic GP's today on ESPN with Doohan,Schwantz,Rainey and the rest on the 500 two strokes which were pure animals to drive. Much closer racing,I've watched a few of these recently and been great fun. Seems to be a bit more competition in World Superbikes but again,they should be looking to go back to their road bike origins,in my opinion.
Looking forward to Knockhill next monthPosted Image

Well that's Rossi's season down the tubes.

He's broken his tib and fib, and is out for three months.

I know exactly where you're coming from but Dani seems to coming onto a game and might just give Jorge a right good battle.

Young guns go for it!
It's like deja vu, all over again.

Well, Rossi the legend despite losing a podium last week managed it tonight. What a guy still hobbling around on crutches, loved the f'ing and blinding on live tv!

Lorenzo looks to have it sewn up, certainly going to require something very special to catch him now.

Horrible accident, I feel really bad for the two guys who went over him, they must be gutted right now. I suppose there is nothing that could be done when a crash happens at that speed.

The track looks good - seems like a nice mix of Mugello and Istanbul.

Hopefully it will produce some good racing, but I'm not confident. These traction control systems and electronic throttles have ruined racing in MotoGP and no amount of interesting track layouts can cure that... :angry:

was one of the better races of the season.

championship is still alive...just.

good to see a scottish rider in moto 2 as a wildcard (kev coughlan) although he never started the race, he did quaify 13th and is the current spanish and euro ss champion...

i look forward to see him race gp next season...hopefully.

predictions for next season....?

I think rossi will struggle. His star is fading !
Lorenzo to retain his crown with spies, stoner and pedrosa putting up a good challenge.

Hope to see cal crutchlow doing well.
I like his crash or win attitude.

Wasn't that what they said when he moved from Honda to Yamaha? Lorenzo'll have to do all his own work this time round.

I wouldn't discount Rossi working it right up Yamaha with the Ducati.

I think Rossi will be there or there abouts again, you need to remember, for the majority of last season he was riding injured and still finished fourth(?)
