Still no further updates on Lascorz, hopefully that's a good sign?
GP was really good, very impressed with Cal. If he can keep that up hopefully Lin Jarvis will keep the Tech3 bikes reasonably updated over the course of the season.
The Rossi nightmare unfortunately appears to be continuing, have a look at this it doesn't make for good reading at all.
Moto2 was incredible but that move by Marquez on Luthi was very harsh IMO. It's not the first time that he's pulled a stunt like that and although I'm not a fan of penalties and officials altering results etc. I would like to think that someone had a strong word with him about that after the race. That said I reckon if he had pulled that move on Iannone or Corsi he'd have spent the rest of the evening digging his Suter out of the Qatari gravel!
BSB Race 1 was great although stopping the event after the BSS carnage was totally the correct thing to do. Stuart Higgs has gone up marginally in my estimation but I'm still not a fan of his rubbish scoring system!

that's awful - I really hope he's wrong
Hopper has just posted on Twitter that Lascorz is ''suspected to be paralyzed from the neck down...'' that's horrible news.

WSB was pretty good, well chuffed to see Tom Sykes finally getting his hands on a competitive machine. Things don't look quite so peachy for Rea at the moment though, really hope they sort that Honda out soon. Overall the Brits seem to be going very well, Sam Lowes was very strong in WSS as well.
WSB was good, part of me just knew that Checa was going to get by at some point though. Rea did well considering the highside he had before the races - I think in testing the day after the race Rea managed to end the day in second.
Lascorz has seriously injured himself during testing though, last I read he'd fractured some vertebrae which doesn't sound good for him.
Funnily enough I was having exactly the same discussion with my mate yesterday as James & Jack were having today about Aoyama. A few years ago the guy wins the 250cc GP crown on a hopelessly out of date bike against the likes of Bautista, Barbera & co. (can't really count Simoncelli as he missed a chunk of that season due to injury but he was the class of that group for sure when he returned). Aoyama then goes to MotoGP, does nothing and he doesn't look any better in WSB. Maybe he's just one of those guys who can only ride smaller bikes?
Aoyama (or ay-oh-ar-mar as jack burnicle says) certainly isn't a bad rider - maybe he'd be better on the aprilia which is much smaller and perhaps more like a 250!
Expecting to get hammered in the MCN league next weekend as one of my riders Ant West has bailed and now won't be in BSB this year.
I appear to be number 1 (joint first with about a million other people) in the whole fantasy race thing at the moment, so yeah you might get hammered!

As James Whitham said that Aprilia is a 'rascal down the straights'!, I'll be very interested to see how well Laverty and Chaz Davies go when they have recovered from their respective injuries, will their machines be the same spec as Biaggi's?
As for Stoner, doesn't look like fatherhood is about to slow him down anytime soon. With such a depleted field it will be a rubbish season if he clears off into the distance every other Sunday afternoon.
Reckon Moto2 will upstage the main event for the third year in a row myself. Champion elect Marquez still hasn't been seen in action since his monster crash at the end of last season, not sure what's going on there? Redding has looked very threatening in pre-season testing, he really seems to be gelling with that Kalex. Add the likes of Smith, Iannone etc. into the mix and I reckon it's going to a classic season.

WSB was awesome, that was one hell of a comeback from Biaggi in Race 2. Reckon he'd have been right on Checa's case if hadn't run off at the start. Superb stuff from Tom Sykes (as we expected) on a track that apparently doesn't suit the bike, can't wait to see him on one that does!
Yep, WSB was awesome, brilliant ride from Biaggi - that aprilia is crazy fast - you don't often see someone do that well from so far back (good on Tom sykes for putting him off in the first place though!). I can't see how Checa would have won that race if Biaggi hadn't gone sightseeing.
Had a feeling that Sykes (and the kawsaki) might fade towards the end of the race as the bike had a tendency to munch it's tyres, but it was good to see him have a fight with Rea right up til the end. It's just a shame there's a five week gap til the next one.
Still....Gp testing this week....Stoner infront so far....

Yeah, I've gone with Sykes too, reckon he should have a decent season. WSB is like the walking wounded at the moment, still reckon it should be a great year though.
Seems everyone (not quite, but a few have) has decided to bin it and break random bones.
Haslam managed to break a bone in his leg, though still might race, laverty broke his hand, rested, then got a concussion, and josh brooks has done something to his abdomen! Nothing like time off the bike to make you forget how to stay upright!
Finally decided to go with Sykes in my team after laverty broke his hand - he's been great in practice, but the zx10 or him seems to eat tyres...we'll have to wait and see.
I'm well impressed with the team I've got so far - Lorenzo, Rossi, Checa, Sykes, Chris Walker (who I think will do well this year) and another guy whose name I forgot - the prize this year is an fz8, which would be pretty cool.
Not long now....
