My husband and I have really been looking forward to this season. We just started watching it last season. I have a lot to learn about it still.

I wonder what's up with Nicky? I know his bike sucks, but I still think he should get that terd up a few spots.:rockon:

 

[Humperdinkel]

Yeah :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Great to see Wossi back where he belongs................................................................. Way down the order :thumbup: :BLAA: :rockon: :rockon:


C'mon Dani , if you are ever going to be World Champ it MUST be this year :thumbup:

It's that #04 instead of #4 that did it :BLAA:

 

[SweaterDude]

I would like to keep up with GP better, but i dont watch TV much less get the channel here in NASCAR country :disapprove::tard:

quick questions:

Is there any talk about changing the tire compound in GP like the switch that just happened in F1? I mean i like mental factors in racing and all, but that mess is ridiculous.

Didn't Ducati scrap the POS bike from last year and completely start over?

Does anybody in the Southeast US know what channel GP is on, so i can buy it for the months where ill be stuck at home in a sling this summer? It should be on the same network (Speed, or whatever) across the region.

Yep great to see Dovi geling with the Duc. But can he make the tires last race distance?

Great ride from Cal. Can he get it off the line and keep his qualifying position?

Spies continues to be a disaster on 2 wheels.

With Marquez putting Pedrosa under pressure and Rossi's return it's going to be a great season. :rockon:

Did watch BeIn sports live coverage for WorldSBK, that was pretty cool too. I hope speed doesn't bump Moto Racing for yet another episode left turns forever

and for folks who don't get Speed and for good reason, use this link

Watch MotoGP online

This guy is from the other side of the pond and does a pretty decent job of uploading the races soon as they are done

That's the kinda stuff I'm talking about! That was great!

Bummed that Bradl crashed out, he was holding off Rossi well. However, props to Rossi and Marquez for putting on a good fight!

Speed doesn't do a great job that's for sure - I saw him riding pillion and thought they said he ran out of gas on the cool down lap, is that what happened? Hilarious :rockon:

Speed's coverage sucks big time, I wish we could get Euro or BBC type of coverage. This race was epic though, haven't seen such a battle since Rossi moved to the Duc couple of years back.
