Enjoyed the Pedrosa/Lorenzo and Stoner/Rossi battles! Amazing stuff. Enjoying MotoGP (even if I don't understand how points work or anything). Any websites that can explain how it all works? Or can one of you guys explain it in layman terms?
I'm watching Moto GP at the moment, the first time I'm watching a whole one :) There was a big crash :O And everyone seems chuffed about this giro camera Rossi has. Anyway, it's actually quite cool, they lean very far when they turn :P Favourite part is when they take over each other in the corners :)
I read a quote from Jerry Burgess in the MCN along the lines of 'when Rossi did 16 laps in one go testing at Misano, I knew Sachsenring was a goer'
I do wonder whether he'll be able to sit up at the front, if he's just going to ride round at the back like the test riders then it's probably not worth it - though it is Rossi, so he'll probably win and set a new lap record!
Lots of people are still very sure he's off to Ducati, I think it's a little bit more likely now that Stoner is moving to Honda. I wonder who'll be lead rider?

And as expected signs for Honda.More interestingly though it looks as though HRC are planning to keep both of their current riders (and I presume run a 3 bike team ?).The bike development over the winter should be interesting if all 3 riders start pulling in different directions !.
Thanks Pete! Very kind!
That is a nasty crash, the bike flipping and landing on the rider made me cringe a bit!
I'd feel lucky to be able to move after that, so 'Ok( ish)' sounds like he didn't come off too bad.
Apparently Rossi is testing an R1 at Misano to see whether he'll bit fit for Sachsenring.......hope he doesn't fall off.......

Harsh, a holiday would definitely be better! That's alot of working time, which is never a good thing!

As normal I saw the 125s, and only the beginning of the Moto2 - up until Iannone completed his ride through, then got back in time for the GP.
Pedrosa did well working his way up through the field, and as always Spies found his bike works better with worn out tyres and started pushing at the end. You're right, a factory ride for him would be well deserved.
I think we're in line for a good shuffle of riders next year I think Ducati will be Rossi and Hayden, Yamaha will be Lorenzo and Spies, and there's rumours of a 3 man team at Honda keeping the current two and adding Stoner.
As good as Pedrosa is, I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year with Honda - Dovi is more consistent, and De Puniet, like you say, is flying (on his bike and not off it!) at the moment.
I think Lorenzo's team will be ok adding to the current bike - all the work has been done - but I guess when the switch back to litre engines comes along we'll see how he helps Yamaha develop that......
Think Crutchlow is in line for a tech 3 ride next year if Spies moves up to the factory squad. Otherwise, who knows!
Maybe Rea is a little bit too kamikaze at times, but as he's young I think we'll see him in GP at some point. Haslam definitely deserves a go!
That new ZX10 does look nice............I bet the price isn't going to match the looks!

Nah mate,not on holiday just working really stupid hours at the moment (doing 4 peoples jobs at the moment).Just got in now and I'm back in for 7 am tomorrow which sucks TBH.
Still making time to keep up to date on 2 wheeled action though.The GP was OK until Dovi dumped it then Lorenzo simply hit cruise control didn't he ?.The Moto 2 race was mental though,really recommend watching that if you missed it mate it was like wacky races !.
I foresaw the Stoner to Honda move the minute Livio Suppo took the reigns there so reckon that rumour is true.Not sure which of the current pilots they would keep though (probably Pedrosa ?).Regarding the Rossi to Ducati move at first I thought that was BS but now I'm not so sure.If Jeremy Burgess and his gang can go with him then I reckon it could happen.They have reportedly offered him something like triple his current wages and he has said on more than one occasion he will not build and develop another bike to give to Lorenzo,therefore it's looking very unlikely they will be team mates next year.Personally I reckon a good mix up of the seats will be good for the sport,Spies should (if there is any justice in the sport whatsoever) get a factory bike and I'm hoping Randy De Puniet gets a decent ride too,he's awesome at the moment !.Big question mark for me is can Lorenzo build and develop a bike ?,he has always had the pleasure of a Burgess built,Rossi developed machine.How will he (and Yamaha) fair if they leave ?.Would like to see at least one Brit get a ride as well (I reckon Crutchlow,Haslam and Rea could all do a decent job with the right bike).
Now what I actually came on here to post !,pictures are out of the new 2011 Kawasaki Ninja and it could just nail the Aprilia RSV4 for being the sexiest beast on the planet !.Hopefully it can revive the fortunes of the WSBK team as this years bike has been a bit pants.Time for some serious Freeola overtime I reckon Mr.Numnut ! :)
Anyway,hope everyone on here is good.Beer,shower and bed for me now (must get them in the right order !).
