After all these years I still dont see whats great about it.

Still in Oldham, Greater Manchester, UK.
I really need to get out of here.

Hope everyone is ok. A couple of old friends enigrated to christchurch about 10 years ago. They're ok, but a couple who lived a few hundred yards from me emigrated there last year and their house has been destroyed. Must be a very scary thing to go through.

Can't think of one off the top of my head. Wayne gardner had a good go at suzuka, but a the second crash put paid to that. lol.

I enjoyed yasterdays race, although I have seen better. Another silly mistake by lorenzo spoiled what could have been a good finish. It was interesting to see the airbag suit in action. When lorenzo got up he looked like the incredible hulk. I have to wonder how long it would have taken him to get u...

That was a cracking race. I thought rossi had blown it when he lost the lead on that last lap. I can't wait to see how Lorenzo responds at the next race.

We get pretty good coverage here. I watched the race live with no ad breaks, and it was repeated later in the day for those who didn't get up early. coverage of the 125 & 250 races as well but i didn't see those. No wsbk coverage for us this year unless you pay. Its on satellite, but i believe you c...

I'd prefer to see fairing bashing and bikes sliding about all over the track, but I wouldn't label Motogp as boring. Some races can turn into a bit a a procession, (the ones where stoner wins spring to mind) but I'll watch them all the same. I'm not a huge fan of stoner but i'd be the first to admit...

And i would guess those are the same commentators who were ready to replace CE with Spies last year?
Theres another 16 rounds to go yet.

Not sure that race would be worth taping. Other than de angelis smashing into the side of pedro, and capi loosing the front there wasn't much to talk about.

its being shown live on the bbc interactive channels here. (freeview 301)

Yes i know. I can't believe he came last. Still, theres another day to go yet.
I guess that highside at the last test destroyed more than just his bike.

Should be interesting for sure. Sounds like Tosland is putting himself under undue pressure. I'll bet he is last again. MotoGP Official Night Test at Losail, Qatar. Session 1. 1 Nicky Hayden USA 2:00.717 2 Marco Melandri ITA 2:00.867 3 Mika Kallio FIN 2:01.020 4 Alex De Angelis RSM 2:01.074 5 Nicco...

i wonder how Tosland feels when he sees a pic like that, and how Yamaha feel about a hand built, prototype bike being upside down with the rider 4 foot above it??? OUCH perhaps the reason he had such a big off was he was pushing to get up the time sheet?? I like the MCN web page, they have a good w...

Should be interesting for sure. Sounds like Tosland is putting himself under undue pressure. I'll bet he is last again. I reckon Edwards is up for a good year, probably his last. Would be good to see him win a race. Wish our newspapers ran 8 page moto gp specials...lol. Wondering... which free to a...

Only 2 weeks until the next test at Losail. Lets see if CE can go 2.5 seconds a lap faster there. I'll stick my neck out now and say that he wont be able to.

Following the first round of Moto gp testing on spec tyers, who would have guest it Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa................then a very close pack containing everyone except Tosland, who was 2.5 sec a lap slower than his team mate, oh dear!! Maybe thats because Toseland suffered a 125mph highside on ...

I love both series, but for me the Supers, are by far a better competition. It's the peoples championship. You could purchase an identical bike to that which James Toslands won the championship on, (in the same year) from Ten Kate Honda. You may well be able to buy a bike that looks like the one th...

Honda thought that the bike. not the rider was the most important part of the package, so the rider (Rossi) left and promptly won again on a yamaha. Where did the other Yamaha's finish that year? 7th, 12th & 13th. In fact if you add the points of the other yamaha riders up you are still 38 points be...

Toseland to romp it, just like lewis! :banana then followed by lorenzo and rossi. Much as i'd like to see Toseland win, I just dont see that happening. And as for Sete, I really dont know why he's coming back and I cant see him being around for more than a year. Just read about a meeting between AL...
