MotoGP 2016

[pritch]

Of course. It's racing. Anything could happen right!?

Exactly. As I've mentioned previously I've had a team in the MCN Fantasy League for a few years. My team last year contained Marquez, Sykes and Byrne,
respectively the then reigning champs in MotoGP, WSBK and BSB, none of whom repeated their success. Putting someone on my team seems to put their career into reverse, so at this stage I'll refrain from entering a team this year. Hopefully this should pemit guilt free viewing of the races.

Na Pritch make sure MM is in your team and Rossi and Dani are not OK

is the multiscreen video pass worth the extra coin or is the standard video pass all that is needed, finally in an area that has good enough internet to be able to stream video without spending most of the time buffering so aiming to get the video pass this year

Well I havnt got the full monty pass , just the standard & its good. But......when the racing is boring & a procession at the front, then I think multiscreen would be better as often in the races there is some hard racing going on further down the field which you'll never see with the standard pass.
Put it this way, if I thought my connection was up to it (which I don't think it is) I would go multiscreen.

So Stoner is a brand ambassador and test rider for Ducati? Was he quicker than MM when testing for Honda and MM threw the toys? Srsly that is the last time I heard his name he was testing for HRC. Fascinating

was a second or two off from what i read,but then got the pip with honda when they denied giving him DPs bike to fill in.
loves the fame,(who could blame him for that?)
Still doubt he'd come back,tho I'm picking he is smart enough to know ducati may be a bit like it was in 07 with the leg up its had.(just my opinion).

Look at the time, I'm off for a morning fang........

Things are still fairly umm fluid. Stoner has been testing and is full of joy about the Ducati and those who work there. He was off the pace of the current riders but he was on a GP15, not the new bike, and was on old tyres. There was also a weird contraption attached to the back of the bike, presumably to monitor what the back wheel was doing. Additionally the track was dirty and there were not enough riders circulating to clean it, so the times don't mean much.

The most interesting bit of speculation is that instead of doing all of his testing in private, Stoner will actually join the scheduled Sepang test with all of the GP teams, possibly on Tuesday? That could produce some interesting numbers.

I'm excited. MotoGP needs him to race IMO.

I find it weird to have the words "Stoner" and "brand ambassador" in close proximity. I thought the publicity bullshit was the thing he hated most about MotoGP in general and Ducati in particular.

I suppose it's at another level if you're actually racing... and a total distraction.

Don't think I've ever seen him more relaxed or happier.

For those with a MotoGP vid pass, live coverage of testing starts about 3pm.

An early fix!

That is because he does not have to face the rejuvenated Rossi! Casey got blasted by Rossi at Laguna and the fact that Rossi is an even more superior rider now - would have Stoner crapping himself if he actually had to face off against the goat!
