On another note.................................GOOD LORD can they have the freakin' winter testing already!?! Not having any action on track if freakin' driving me bonkers!

I agree 100%.

The Tri Series and NZSBK ain't been half bad so far...

But, yeah, me three. Been watching past races to get my fix...

Good point. Went to the HD and Wanganui rounds of the Tri-Series. Good stuff. And the races this past weekend at Levels were good. My flatmates were wondering who the hell Craig is, and why I was jumping up and down laughing after watching that second race on CTAS. That was a nice job to take the lead from Buggy in the last couple of corners.

'Twas a popular win.

The photographer was obviously trying to capture the passion and emotion!

In the early days, I reckon the Ducati was one of the better looking bikes out there. Now I think it's pig ugly.

Thats one way to put it, I was just going to call it disturbing.

An interview with Dovisioso about his thoughts on Ducati and his neck injury.

Also the corresponding interview with Hayden talking more about the other riders in MotoGP.

^^^ Broken linkies fixed... ^^^ Ducati (and Ferrari) do know how to whet their fans’ appetites (interviews, photos et al from the traditional Wrooom event).

Thanks for the catch.

Ducati (and Ferrari) do know how to whet their fans’ appetites (interviews, photos et al from the traditional Wrooom event).

Must be something about the Italians maybe? They know how to make a show? I would have to say though, Yamaha did a good job of steering some of the talk away from the Wrooom event and back towards team blue with that photo shoot they did. Granted, I doubt there is much other than trash talk going on about it (the comments in the Asphalt and Rubber article are pretty good), but as they say "All publicity is good publicity".

Want to see a return to big budgets and full grids? Bring back tobacco sponsership. Or find another manufacturer of a legal additive substance who want to further glamourise their product by chucking huge amounts of cash at 'manly' pursuits. Red Bull do this to a degree already.

Well you'd take beer as a choice wouldn't you http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Jan/130114a.htm

I'm afraid all is not as Soup has put it out there. MotoMatters covers the story a little bit better by explaining that its "Spanish alcohol-free beer brand Estrella Galicia 0,0" that is stepping up for the sponsership. The thought is there, but the execution is lacking.

Edit: I was looking at things from a very naive point of view. Spinner clears things up a little bit in the comments section by indicating that they (Estrella Galicia 0,0) can get around the alcohol advertising ban by advertising their beer as alcohol free............................but of course they also have real beer as well.

Nah. If that's the same fucking goats piss we were drinking at Valencia...it's alcohol free.
