[SPOILERS] MotoGP Round 2 - Jerez (aka Jereth) - QP/RAC Results

[Goop]

It's going to be a wet, sloppy race! Nicky shows that Ducati is still strong in the wet. RdP!!! He puts his CRT bike ahead of Rossi (last of the prototype bikes) and the satellite Ducatis. Colin got thrown from his bike pretty good in QP.

Race Results

Nicky started strong, then fell back. Crutchlow had another great ride. Jorge chose the wrong tires and was unable to catch Stoner. Stoner still had some arm pump issues but was able to overcome. Rossi was miserable, as was Spies. RdP's bike failed, and Yonni's wouldn't start on the grid.

Just loved the way Casey pulled away on the last 2 laps....

Great to see Nicky riding that Ducati with a bit of purpose, even if it didnt last for the whole race!

Note to Ducati...get the LART off ya bike, he has lost the plot!

:thumbup:

So, ya's miss my input lately


Anyway, Casey, tip of the hat to you with your ride:thumbup: Gave YourGay a lil sniff of victory then whamo, buggers off up the road & pulls half a second each lap for the win :thumbup:

Back to Qatar for a moment, does anyone else think the Robot lies down when its time to fight. Abit another Criville, The Shadow. Near the end there, he passed YourGay, and YourGay being YourGay fought straight back and re-passed Robot, only to see the Robot retreat immediately and play Shadow and settle for 2nd.

Honda must be loosing their patience with him....Yamaha too with Elbowz :spank:

Quick question for everyone. Do you pay for the motogp pass, or watch it somewhere online?

Speed Channel carries the races, often a day or two later, but I noticed this race and the next are actually broadcast live. I'm not sure if this is now the new trend on Speed or not.

I have the MotoGP pass and have subscribed for the past 3 years. I prefer it because there's no commercials and you get to see all of the the practices and interviews. It's pricey but I like watching this stuff so I shell out the money each year.

Usually we get it live on free to air TV & if not we can watch it live on the TV channels website:thumbup: one.com.au

Here we get MotoGP qualifying, all 3 races, some Superpole, SBK race 1 and 2, Supersport, ALL F1 practices, qualifying and races live and uninterrupted on satellite without additional subscription. We also get Superstock shown between Supersport and SBK race 2 :rockon:

If it is a proper race day, like next Sunday (Portuguese MotoGP and Italian SBK) then a gang of us organise a barbeque at the pub and make a day of it.

Check this picture for being in the right place at the right time!
