Re: Moto GP:
Aye good season this year with Rossi & the other top 3 (now all equal). Good races all round in Wet & Flag to Flag races. Todays final lap was great (not like F1 lol)
Oh & Suzi's on it too.

Re: Moto GP:
Todays race was one of the best battles Ive seen, Rossi, Lorenzo & Stoner. Reminded me of the old days with Hailwood, Ivy & Reed.
Rossi showed why he is called "The Doctor". Once Lorenzo took off Stoner was sunk. The final lap was superb, team Yamaha are in top form. All 3 with 106 points each.
My moneys on Rossi, but who knows.

Stoner was really sick, he could hardly hang on to the bikw, I have a sneaking suspicion that when he is back on top form That red bike will really fly again.
The trust between Lorenzo and Rossi was immense, Just enough space left.

That last pass by Rossi was one for the books, I`d love to have heard Lorenzo as Rossi went by.

Re: Moto GP:
Cracking double bill - F1 and Moto GP
Beats the usual Sunday afternoon faire of the people trapped in the Walford force field.

Re: Moto GP:
Saw the race on Eurosport, just about stayed dry. D'oh Ducati on wets ! The one thing that commentators always say is be on the right tyres for the conditions.

Re: Moto GP:
Rossi did well to get back to 5th after his spill,
I have some fond memories of the races at Donington.
The Ducati teams decision to go on full wets was a disaster, although some of the rain has been torrential the days prior.
Quite an odd race, all the ones who usually fall off finished the race, nice to see Colin Edwards on the podium too.
Toseland was unlucky to be pipped by Rossi for 5th.
Roll on the next round

Rider News...
Jorge Lorenzo will remain as Valentino Rossi's MotoGP team-mate at the Fiat Yamaha MotoGP team in 2010 after signing a one-year contract extension.

Loris Capirossi has signed a one-year contract extension with the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team to finalise their line-up for the 2010 season.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...es/8227323.stm
After Vermeulen's displacement from the Suzuki team for next season, he's been getting loads of abuse on Moto GP's Facebook presence, as he's said he'd ride for free hoping to dismount James Toseland

Re: Moto GP:
The surface at Indianapolis is awful even in the dry, we've already had a few in the kitty litter.
