Rossi is a coming

[Shaun]

Well I for one hope he/she/it keeps the money rolling!

Me also, crazy Itallians. I love the way they have read and understood the rules perfectly that has allowed them to build the new thing Rossi is on now, that was very cleaver of them

Far as I'm concerned...you should be able to build and race whatever the fuck you like whenever you like!

100% AGREED! About time they opened up MOTOGP to how it used to be moons back, where any rider could turn up, and if you qualified, you raced

Simple as that, not like this money orientated bullshit show that goes on now, WSB is way better these days, even though I still love to watch the talent in the MOTOGP show

Also...ban the electronics (leave that to the production based Superbikes), as for limiting the teams to 4 cyls next year...that's bollocks too. The Honda V5 was fucking cool, as was the Aprilia Triple! Should be able to build whatever the fuck you like, as long as it's only 1000cc.

It's all about money.
Allowing Honda to build what they like results in 15 bikes on the grid, a third of them brand H. The new rules aim to put at least 24 bikes on the grid.

Imagine that...(drool)...

Yeah I hear ya. Still...I read that Yamaha really wanted to build a V4, but until the rules settle down and remain constant won't. That's a shame. I'm not so sure the proddie based thou idea will work...but I hope it does. As having 15 bikes on the grid at the mo is G.A.Y.

I asked Mike W if he'd like 30+ bikes on the MotoGP grid, and he said 24 was the most he'd like.

I'm surprised he'd still rather not see 250 two strokes on the grid being an ex (and very good at that) 250GP pilot! But yeah...too many bikes is also no good. Moto 2 is dangerous carnage at times.

[Kendog]

Awesome! I had a fat old time at Laguna Seca. It's nearly always towards the end of July innit? Rach and I are hoping to get to the new one in Texas 2013. Would love to do Indy though...get to see the Mile on Sat night as well!!!

Yep, if it all pans out it will be very cool.
What is the 'Mile on Sat night'?

I think there were a few tears on the page when he drafted the Moto2 regulations.

The 'Mile' flat track races they have at the Indy GP mate! Awesome!!!

I bet. I remember him and John Reid going at it like it was yesterday.

WTF! I could expect a comment like that from a recent Paris Hilton fanboy Pete,but not a seasoned GP watcher such as yourself.

Think back to the golden age of GP racing late 80's early 90's era when Rainey/Schwants were waging their war with Doohan,Eddie,& Gardener sniping down the casualties.There was only four or five factory riders capable of winning then,the also rans were pissing about on old Honda's and ROC Yamahas.
Hell...there was only ten finishers at Laguna in 1990,and barely 15 finishers(on a good day)in any race back then.

Does it not remind you of this years Championship.There will always be the odd processional race in GP's it's part and parcel of an elite sport...but when you have 4 or five going for it (and it's coming)it's worth the wait.

If that were all there was on a grid,then i'd take it any day over WSB truck racing.

Now i'm going back to my cheap seat.
