Never been abroad to watch MotoGP - or Superbikes come to that.

off to Hungary in about 4 months to work for a bit and they pick this year to bump the Hungarian GP

Asmuch as i would love to see vali get his 10th crown on a duke my prediction is for Stoner as long as he stays on

[Binky]

ok so stoner won no surprises there and with the pace of the hondas in the first half of the race i was expecting a hrc 123 the honda was always a quicvk bike last year but seems its taken stoner the only one to tame the duke to really show what it can do

top marks to lorenzo though for getting 2nd and for rossi for realising he had no hope of winning and the best bet was to just get the duke to the finnish line and get some real time race data to work on

this years a practise for him next year on the thous will be a lot differant

[The Nal]

Yeah standard enough affair really. Rossi’s shoulder is still at him, will be interesting to see how quickly he gets over it.

the Duc might be a dog for most riders, but it won't take Rossi a year to find out how to get the best from it. The Yamaha was a dog when he started with that - tho perhaps not so much of a dog, as he won his first race on it.

Anyone watch the race yesterday? Really entertaining. Would’ve been interesting to see where Rossi and Stoner would’ve ended up if Rossi had taken it a little easier. He was slaloming through the field before he crashed. Don’t think Stoner was too happy with him!

I watched all three races - they were all pretty good.

Yeah, shame about Rossi over-doing it .... as Stoner said, "your ambition is bigger than your talent". :lol:

Yeah he was not happy with him. If the camera weren’t there when Rossi walked in I think there could’ve been a different reaction!

One things for sure though, Rossi has work to do with that bike. It suited Stoners style, throwing it about the place, but won’t suit Rossi as much and with his shoulder still f**ked, it must be very difficult to control. Yesterday was an exception as the rain was a game leveler for everyone, hence Rossi going from 12th to 4th in 6 laps. Hes still the best.

Estoril, Portugal on Sunday. I wonder will the month off have helped Rossi.

Ill still go for a Stoner win though.

it clashes with football, i think.

I reckon Rossi's got the beating of Stoner, he was just a bit impatient last time out. But I doubt either will win, it'll more likely be Lorenzo.

Not with Arsenal vs United. Ends just before it.

yeah, but I was watching Liverpool take 5th off Spurs. lol:

The bastard BBC didn't do a replay this week.

I know. God bless Sky+! Wasn't a great race anyway to be honest.

[The Nal]

Anyone been watching? Rain runied yesterday. Stoner is looking like a world champion already though.

Dont like him.

Lorenzo is a lucky boy. Thought he was going to join the broken collarbone brigade after this one.

thought the motoGP yesterday was a bore, but the moto2 was great - a Brit leading for a bit (Redding), and a Brit finishing 2nd from 28th on the grid (Smith).

[The Nal]

Great race from Lorenzo yesterday considering this happened on Saturday.

Been fairly poor so far. Rossi not being competitive really takes away from it. Lorenzo is a bit of a twat and Stoner is a complete twat.

Although a skillful twat. He did well not to come off here last week. He did very well.

Dud of a season really. Need Rossi and that bike in full working order for next season.

[eFestivals]

yup ..... MotoGP has been shit, and Moto2 has been where it's at this season. I've really enjoyed every one of those races.

Even the 125s have been better than Stoner and co.

Superbikes have been very good.

Only saw the highlights of this but looked great!

Big Simmo has been entertaining this year (on &off track), hopefully more so next season if he can stay on the things a wee bit longer.

He has been yeah but hes going to get himself hurt if he keeps riding like that.

Just found out Lorenzos finger was severed and had to be reattached after the crash at the weekend! All ok now though.

Cant really look past Stoner for next season to be honest.
