So we don't get criticised for hijacking the F1 thread, here is the MotoGP thread!

Feel Free to discuss WSB and BSB too.

Check Here to see how your team is doing.

What time does the race start, and what channel? Didn't bother watching all of the qualifying, watched about 10 minutes yesterday. Only thing I like about MotoGP over F1 is the constant overtaking battles, and obviously that doesn't happen in qualifying.

*EDIT* Found it :)

MotoGP live: 1830-2000, BBC Two/online

Yeah Sic is a big bloke alright (same height and weight as Spies).I reckon he is going to be Honda's secret weapon this year.He'll be instructed to let Stoner & Pedrosa clear off down the road then told to stick out his elbows and knees thus making one very effective Yamaha road block!

Awesome job by Cal Crutchlow,I wonder what odds you would have got on him out qualifying Rossi on his MotoGP debut? Hopefully it's a sign of things to come once he has fully got to grips with a GP bike.

Simoncelli looks like Bowser on Mario Kart! It's ridiculous how low down he has to crouch!

That's good :]

He's as orange as David Dickinson! :)

Pedrosa has been very fast in testing Chris,that Honda is an absolute weapon.

I'm hoping to claw back some points this weekend. Is Pedrosa looking good?

Checa did a great job in Phillip Island on his supposedly privateer Ducati (reckon that bike is getting some form of factory help myself).Thought Melandri did a great job as well,particularly in race 2 when Biaggi only really managed to beat him using the Aprilia's superior straight line speed.Looking forward to watching him over the rest of the season.WSBK is a very sore subject for me at the moment though,I was supposed to be going to Donington but apparently I'm going to see Ghost The Musical instead (seriously,don't ask!).

Really looking forward to the GP this weekend,how fast was Scott Redding in Moto2 yesterday? In MotoGP, I too am expecting Honda to have the upper hand (for the first part of the season anyway).Overall Stoner clearly looks like being the man to beat this year.Great to see Spies generally the faster of the factory Yamaha's as well,be interesting to see how Lorenzo deals with that? As for Rossi,well you just never rule him out do you? 5th yesterday (and perhaps more importantly just 0.7secs away from the front) was an enormous improvement from where he seemed to be a few weeks ago.Simoncelli is my tip for this years surprise package,think he's going to be very strong.Shame Motegi has been postponed but that's hardly surprising, those guys have much more to worry about at the moment other than staging a motorcycle race.

We seem to have forgot to mention Checa doing a number on everyone at phillip island a few weeks back. A welcome addition to my team I think!

From what he said after the race, I think Leon Haslam did pretty well too!

GP starts this weekend, and watching practice last night I can't wait!
Rossi up to 5th - infront of both lorenzo and spies. I know it's only practice but I'm sure Rossi hasn't stopped grinning!

Stoner was flying on the Honda - I think that as long as he keeps it upright he may well a shoe in for the title.

Roll on Sunday.....
