WSBK and Moto GP on Sky this weekend

[Wingnut]

Just had a look at the Sky TV times for both the WSBK and Moto GP this weekend and FFS they are both on at the same times on different channels. Wish I had My Sky now.

This weekend would be the one time I would be happy if they delayed the racing because of golf or cricket, like they seem to do at times.

There is going to have to be some serious co ordination with a mate on this one............ Cant tape both of them.

Bitch over.

[DELLORTO]

motogp is slightly better tho :whistle:

[Harvd]

yep moto gp for me too

[lukemillar]

Really?? SBK's has been far better racing this year...

[DELLORTO]

Really?? SBK's has been far better racing this year...

in a way im getting sick of lorenzo and rossi winning all the bloody time....with world superbikes they all are about the same level of riding, but they all have their good days and bad days.

Yeah the rounds of wsbk i have seen have all been pretty bloody amazing but i kept missing them coz sky felt like putting them on at 9 30 monday morning... ive seen more of the moto gp rounds and have i bit more of a clue whats happening there. and Rossi is racing:love:

[Wingnut]

I have to watch both and can settle for nothing less..........

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah I'm well interested to see how Stoner goes after a break...if he goes well...I reckon that's amazing.

[MDR2]

Soooo rumour has it that Rossi is a bit put out with the fact Lorenzo is getting the good oil aswell and is likely to leave the team at the end of next year. Potentially to end his career on a ducati.

This might also make sense, what, with Spies taking the oppertunity to break into motogp with a start in the tech 3 team... if rossi DID leave then there would be an opening for the newest hero of team yamaha in the factory team.


I can understand Rossi wanting to finish his days on his countrys trusty red steed, but for the love of me I can't understand why he would entertain riding a bike that has proven to be so unpredictable for other riders.

Given his ability to communicate with the tech people and help develop a bike, I'd like to see him on a Suzuki and perhaps get them out of the hole they seem to have dug for themselves over the years.

Further on Spies joining the (big boys) of racing. Can anyone remember a SBK rider who consistantly finished in the top order of motogp in recent years? I think they miss out on something by not rising throught the ranks of 125's and 250's like the likes of Stoner, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Dovi the list goes on.

Im sure the kids got talent... scratch that, I KNOW the kids got talant, i'm skeptical however that he will be able to translate the success that he has had in SBK to a future in Motogp, i feel another colin edwards in the making (god knows how bad I want to see edwards win just ONE race before he quits the top tier)

This is of course, conjecture and rumour for now.

As much as i like moto gp,i've gotta agree with ya.

FFS,...There's only 17 bikes on the grid the last time out,and it always ends the same way.:zzzz:

[Duke girl]

Superbikes are the go especially seeing that Ducati is winning the Championship at present and they also have bigger feilds, and you get 2 Races with them and not 1 like they do in Moto GP.

[naphazoline]

If Ducati can't win with an extra 20% more engine capacity then the other marques,then what rule are they gonna come up with for themselves next?:whistle:

How much extra a month is My sky over normal digital sky?

I might have to invest in My sky,as its a lot to sit through to catch both superbike races,and the supersport aswell.

Supersports are a good watch.They have a huge number on the start grid.:niceone:

While it's not recent...Rainey, Lawson, Revin Kevin and Doohan all came from Superbikes. Stoner is also like a lot of the fast Yanks in days gone by is ex flat track...or dirt track. Just like Mladin. I think if you're truly good...you can ride anything.

[Bardman]

Yep gotta agree with you Wingnut;), I hope we see the supersport race this time too, has bin some fantastic racing this season:2thumbsup

[discodan]

I ditched Sky all together in favour of watching motogp live online (www.motogp.com) and then downloading SBK and BSB off www.racing-underground.com to watch later.

Much cheaper and more reliable.

Can't agree more, in fact I've proven this just the other way round.

I think its about 5 or $10 more a month. Its well worth it.

Totally agree - but fark paying the extra $$$ - I'm way too cheap for that!

Hense the last part of my first sentence "Wish I had My Sky now."

Camier is riding it. http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/152924/1/official_camier_to_aprilia_for_magny-cours.html

Camier has dominated BSB this year but Simoncelli has set the bar pretty high!

[lukemillar]

I have to watch both and can settle for nothing less..........

Me too :( Haven't missed a round of either this year. Except WSS at Imola? Sky didn't even bother to cover that and both the Triumphs had a great round!

If anyone has a any spare Racing Underground invites, I'd gladly take one off you hands :)

Camier is a great rider. Been following him since he first got into BSB. Check this out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzSfETX710U

Put and end to his season in 2007. Glad he has bounced back they way he has.

[wharfy]

.

I think that would be one of the attractions for him, just in case their was any doubt about his ability.

Ouch! Thanks for the link, I only started watching BSB last year.
Camier currently about 1.4 secs off Fabrizio but only 0.3 from Biaggi and into super pole!
