MotoGP 2012

But I have never been to a gp, so I can't really qualify that with experience. Do you reckon, if I'm going to commit to going to one (in the Australasian circuit), is that the kind of gp better appreciated from one's arm chair, with all the delays and all?

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, never been to a GP and wondering if it lives up to the hype. Watching it on tv, you are able to see whole race track, but often they only focus on the leaders. Where as when your at the event, you can at least get a chance to see all the racers at one point on the track. Course, I would hazard to say that most of the tracks have those huge screens up that allow you to watch most of the race, and then watch them go by in front of you as well. And then of course there is the smell of being there, can't get that through the TV.

Phillip Island is the best of them in my opinion.

The only bad things that I've heard about PI is the chance of bad weather. Seems most poeple say you have a 50/50 chance on the weather. Course sometimes that makes for better racin'........

It's a huge buzz being there mate. TV doesn't come close.

Just plan to get all four seasons every day at the Island and you'll be fine.

Good to know. Won't make this year (obviously) but might have to look into some plans for next year. Or maybe catch WSBK there early next year. Hmmmmmmm, things to ponder....

Get in early enough and you can rent an awesome house right on the beach for a reasonable amount. Catch a shuttle bus to the track each day from your front door. It's a hoot.

Not getting involved in the shit-slinging, but I was kinda disappointed with the red flag. In the post-race interview wasn't Jorge saying that he had wasted the soft center of his tire earlier in the race, and was struggling near the end? Where as Dani and Casey were both reeling off lap times that Jorge couldn't keep up with. Would have been nice to see that full distance run out.

Have to give credit to Jorge though, that was a hell of a save. Damn near ran over his left foot doing it though.

Yep, Moaner wouldnt have saved it.

Phillip Island is the best of them in my opinion.

Yep. For many reasons too. Specially the viewing vantage points and the track itself. Downside - the weather!

The only other one I've been to is Brno. Would have much preferred the armchair. The Czechs are a sombre lot too.........

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yep, Moaner wouldnt have saved it.

Sheesh you've got it bad too Robert. Stoner was about to give Lorenzo another wet weather lesson cept Lorenzo wimped out and kept asking for the race to be stopped. Kinda like...a moaner and winging poofta?!

Where do the jealous red headed fags sit? Outside the male urinal hoping to get lucky.

Jelous, yep I sure am Crasherfromwayback, I really wish I had achieved as much as you have as a has been bike racer, Now for the laughter bit, enjoy your world buddy, and thanks for the entertaining pathetic childish shit to read.

Of course I have to get some one to read it to me, as I am so thick

But guess I am a good thief and liar though, actually I cant be, as everyone knows that about me, not so smart eh


O that;s right, you are the sales man, not me

My level? I've never actually been kicked out of anywhere for theft Shaun. And whilst I haven't done as much road racing as your awesome self...I've done something you haven't and never will. Beaten Bruce Ainstey more often than he's beaten me. In a couple of very short seasons that I did do.

Now talking of childish shit...when are you coming down to beat me up again Shaun? As per your PM threat? Hate to be not there when you call in to carry out the threat...you mature chappy you. Cock Smoker.

Or maybe Stoner wouldn't have lost it in the first place?!?!?!?! Case in point................Sepang.

[Reckless]

In the post race on the BBC coverage they had a look at Lorenzo's front tyre? Its was shagged (well at least more than 1/2 gone).

It was only a matter of time before he binned it or Stoner passed him and he knew it! Being the astute person he is he took advantage of the weather and did what we all would do tried to keep his placing.

Secondly the decision was justified by the officials I reckon for one reason alone so many others had fallen already and the weather was getting worse. Had that not been the case ????

I feel for Pedro the little guy just cant seem to get a lucky break but as I see it he rode the arse of that Honda did all he could, the rest is with the racing gods

I'm also still wondering if Lorenzo is deliberately not racing Pedro because his engines are tired (mainly in the dry) and they simply don't want to risk a blow up??
First 1/2 of the season to Lorenzo second 1/2 to Pedro been good so far but it aint over till its over

Or Silverstone last year when he gave everyone a wet weather lesson in similar conditions?
