I would love to see Rea given a chance in MotoGP,I rate him.We seem to have tonnes of talented Brits in WSBK and none in MotoGP.Hopefully over the next couple of years the likes of Crutchlow & Haslam will get a chance in GP's as well.
Not sure if I'm 'allowed' to post this in here but for anyone interested the demo of the new Capcom MotoGP 09/10 game is available for download on Xbox Live and PSN from today.I will hopefully get chance to give it a go later on this evening and will report back.The 08 version was a big improvement over the earlier games IMO.I had a lot of fun on it,even if I did suck !.

Well done Pete for filling the thread up with nice bits of information I'll get distracted by later on today!
Was reading last night that Pedrosa is still finding it hard to get used to the new Ohlins suspension Honda are running this year saying that the bike is bouncing all over the place.
Not a good sign for his title challenge this year - I'm not sure how many more chances Honda will give him.
One for the future though is that the guy in charge of HRC (I think....) mentioned that Jonny Rea would be welcome in MotoGP on a Honda! The quote was something like "he's very fast and we like fast people"
Could be a brit back in the series sooner than we think.
I think the dukes will be more of a problem for Yamaha this year - I haven't seen Stoner moaning about the bike at all, all his comments are really positive. No offence meant to Stoner but he does always seem to have something on the bike he is not happy with, but so far it's all been positive.....

Stoner was very strong last year but his championship charge was effectively killed off with a mysterious illness he was suffering with.It caused him to miss a few races (and under perform in others).When CS returned though it was clear that there was sod all wrong with this ability to ride a motorcycle.I'm expecting Stoner,Lorenzo,Pedrosa,Spies and course one certain Italian to be front runners this year.I'm not ruling out Hayden either,as mentioned he has been unbelievably fast in recent tests.Simoncelli will be worth keeping an eye on as well,the guy is extremely quick but clearly as mad as a box of frogs !.

I think it might spice things up if Stoner gives Rossi more of a run for his money this time round, maybe Ducati made 'em easier to handle, save the Schumacher effect hitting Moto GP.

Thanks, long time yet... will maybe have a look aroud to see where it's showing nearer the time. :)

Ducati's have always been fast in superbikes mate.In MotoGP though Stoner has been the only bloke who could ride the damn thing.Looks like that's all about to change.

WSBK 28/3
BSB 5/4
MotoGP 11/4

Just been reading a synopsis of the recent MotoGP test session at Sepang.Rossi (unsurprisingly) dominated and Spies consistently ran in the top 4/5 but the big shock was Nicky Hayden,he has been absolutely flying.So it would appear that we're getting 2 fast Ducati's this year,be interesting to see how Stoner handles that situation ?.Can't wait for the season to start.
I only recognise 2 of my team lol. The other 4, i've never heard of.

It's really early days yet Chris,you only missed one race it's nothing.You could easily catch up.Looked at your lucky dip choices and they are actually pretty good.Probably should have done that myself as I did craptastic on Sunday.Going to join Eurosport later so I can watch the WSBK races.Tried my mates details and as he hasn't paid for multi-room it won't have it,states account must be updated.I know he lives by himself and only has one TV but that's no excuse !.
