To be honest... don't like motogp

To be honest... I do.

The racing is a hell of a lot better than in F1. Even with Moaner winning and Rossi making do with the next best thing to a push bike it's still great to watch.

It does look that Yamaha have the edge at Laguna. Not sure if even Stoner or Pedrosa can keep tabs on Lorenzo, It could be a walk in the park for Lorenzo in the race.

Great race from Stoner, some great overtakes to win that race. I Already can't wait for the next battle at Brno

Impressive performance by stoner!

Lorenzo w/ a solid 2nd place finish...

Great overtake by spies against dovi....

Indeed, Must be one of Casey's best race wins, except for 1 or 2 wins last year on that crappy Ducati perhaps.

That's what happens when you combine a good rider w/ a good performing bike...Stoner just blew everyone away!

The FIM has announced that the Japanese GP will go ahead on Oct 2nd as planned, Some of the riders are concerned about the radition levels and have said they will not go. The japanese round is still a couple of months away but we could see a smaller starting grid at Motegi.

Wait till Rossi sorts out the Ducatti

I think they have taken this years bike as far as they can. Steve Parrish mentioned during the US GP commentary that the bike's entire concept needs changed. Hopefully next year will be better. I don't like seeing The Doctor at the back though he did have a good run (by this years standards) at Laguna Seca.

Ducati might have a hard time with their bike . I think Honda and Yamaha will definitely have an upper hand with the data they have with their production bike and WSBK and AMA bikes.

The main problem with the Ducatti is the design concept. The engine is part of the chassis rather than being in or on the chassis as in the Honda's, Yamaha's and Suzuki's. This reduces the amount of flex in the chassis as the engine is pretty rigid.

[Frontrunner]

Rossi's engineering team have said that Ducati have to go down same path chassis wise as the Japanese bikes to be a winning bike. So if they ask for it Ducati have to do it for there man. The Ducati has been a bi#ch to ride for the last few seasons now so its might be tempting for Ducati to change chassis design.

Isn't it their type of engine also? They should go down the same path in that area also?

I have just started following moto gp though i am not really into the engines but i like the racing.I am more likely to follow Moto gp 2 because we have a Turkish driver there-he is awesome! -
