Went to watch Race 2 in the office at work and my PC decided it would spit it's dummy moments before it started,there is no god! :(
I suppose I could always switch to watching F1 (the supposed pinnacle of motorsport) where the bloke who started on pole got to the first corner first and strolled off into the distance totally unchallenged to win by quarter of a minute.
Doesn't sound like much fun really!
Didn't watch the Supersport, but the Superbike races were pretty good - seemed like checa was quite lucky to stay upright for the first few laps of race one, it looked like his bike was jumping around all over the place.
Marco Melandri showed he's going to be a real title threat this year (or at very least that the Yam is good at donnigton!), too - felt a bit sorry for smrz but I guess melandri did deserve the victory after making up so much ground.
Good ride by Camier in race two, I did think Rea or Haslam would be more likely to get on the podium though!
Quite surprised Biaggi didn't complete his ride through and ended up getting black flagged - he must've known it was coming.....

Ever tried watching a superbike race on a 0.34 MBS internet connection?,wouldn't recommend it.Good race (what I managed to see of it) and should have clawed some points back in the Freeola Championship.

Really,not want we wanted to hear:
Doctor's confirm Pedrosa's shoulder not healed
He looked in agony after the race in Qatar,seriously doubt he will be able to fight for the championship carrying an injury like that.
:''''''''''''''(
Have to say, I'm not having any luck in sports at the moment. In my ice hockey team, we've got 2 of the world's top 3 players, and they've both been injured for months now. Steven Gerrard's been injured for Liverpool, and now Pedrosa looks to be injured.

You were right about Simoncelli being a roadblock aswell, what a racer!
Oh yeah,Sideshow Bob is not best known for his manners on track! His mate Mr.Rossi described him last week as f.....big & f..... fast, pretty fair analysis I reckon.
According to the WSBK website it is currently a whopping 2 degrees at Donington Park.If it doesn't warm up by the weekend it's going to be a very interesting event.Hopefully the Brits experience of our crap weather will give them some small advantage? Shame for JT who is out for 2 months after breaking his wrist in a testing accident.Need to find out what his lottery numbers are as they will definitely be 6 numbers you need to avoid!

Was absolutely gutted. Fell asleep before the race, and woke up 2 laps in, missed the start. Watched most of it though. As soon as Stoner was hanging behind Pedrosa, I knew he'd lose it. The gap Stoner created was unbelievable. But to then lose to Lorenzo, I was shocked. Thought he might have held on to 2nd. You were right about Simoncelli being a roadblock aswell, what a racer!

Ahhhh the bikes are back!
And not before time,I was getting severe withdrawal symptoms!
Good start to the season,Shame for Scott Redding in Moto2 but a decent enough start for Bradley.That Kalex chassis looked ominously quick though,for what is usually such a close series no one saw which way Bradl went yesterday.Andrea Iannone produced the ride of the evening for me though,he was absolutely on it.
Not really a huge surprise to see Stoner take victory in MotoGP but it doesn't look quite so good for Pedrosa.He looked in real pain with that arm come the end of the race,really hope he can get that sorted.Brilliant ride by Lorenzo but I still think his J1/L logo is pants.Apparently Dovi has been complaining about Sic's move on him saying it was unfair and cost him a podium,shame as I think there's plenty more where that came from! As you say decent enough start from Cal,enjoyed watching him dice with Barbera as much as the Rossi/Spies scrap.Hopefully were in for a good season but those Honda's look like they are going to take some catching.

Yes Repsol (& Honda) did do well!
Looks like this season might be more about the battles between Stoner and Pedrosa than Rossi and Lorenzo, doesn't matter really as long as it's not precession racing.....
Good riding by Stoner, and Lorenzo for that matter for keeping up (kind of), with what was obviously a faster bike.
Simoncelli looked good - I think Dovi's spot in the Honda garage might be under threat if he keeps it up all year.
As expected Rossi finished in the Top 10, though that bike was sliding around a fair bit towards the end, I can't imagine his shoulder feels that good!
Nice debut from Crutchlow as well, oh and same goes for Bradley smith in Moto2!
