A reminder that with the MotoGP being at Assen this weekend, everything happens a day earlier than usual. Race will be on Saturday Euro time.

Can't wait, with the track changes this year the track flows again and moto 2 in particular should be a hum dinger.

Don't forget superbikes are on, too. So lots of racing (but still no Rossi

)

But it seems like all the Moto GP boys are actually trying a bit harder without Rossi there as they can now fight for a win instead of 2nd.
The down side of Rossi being out for 5(?) races is that when Lorenzo wins, the critics will say he only won because of Rossi's injury, when in truth I think he was on track to beat Rossi to the championship this year anyway...

Superbikes has been better for the last couple of years anyway!

But Moto2 has been ridiculous...

Umm - Lorenzo has had Rossi pretty much on the back foot since the start of the season - it still is a fight for second place while he is around. With Rossi there was at least a glimmer of hope. Hopefully I will be proved wrong this weekend - if it turns into a 1 horse race it will only be detrimental for the class in my opinion.

Agree with ya on Moto 2 - its great.

1. I think they try all the time, it just seems that way.
2. there was only 9 points between them when Rossi was hurt but you'll always get the arm chair experts saying what if , certainly taken the shine off though.
Listening to the chat while qualifying was on, 15 mil Euro for Rossi to sign for Ducati. He apparently doesn't want to take a pay cut so they can pay more to Horhay, he might find that offer appealing ? Who really knows, not us ?
