Brno MotoGP: forget the racing...

[svr]

Whatever happens, it's sure to be a hell of a lot more interesting than the bulshit racing in the so called "Premier" Class this year.

Yeah, bunch of overrated pussies. The fantastic action witnessed in the aussie ute series is really showing up motoGP boys aye? Or maybe if they all just tried that bit harder the racing would be more interesting and less "bulshit"?!

[Duke girl]

I think Rossi has done and achieved what he has with Yamaha and it would be good to see him move onto bigger and better things like joining forces with Ducati.
Lorenzo will stay with Yamaha and try to achieve exactly what Rossi has with them over the years.
Whatever the outcome Rossi choices with his Racing l wish him luck and no-one can deny him the achievements he has done when it comes to Moto GP.
He truly is a very talented rider.

It's got nothing to do with who's "trying" and who's not. The "bulshit" comes from 16 bikes on a start grid. Then 11 of them finish with a grand total of 3 televised passes all race long. That blow you away from a spectators perspective? You need to get out more my man. The minor places are far more interesting in the "main event" and even that's not close to the awesome spectacle that's Moto2. Perhaps something can be learnt from the ute/taxi series accross the ditch? Put em all on Moto2 bikes, with a "top tier" in the premier class with a minimum field of 30 bikes, minimum experience of 2 years in Moto2 or a previous world championship with the exception of "wild card" rides which a rider can not use more than two of per season without the before mentioned qualifications.

Oh, nah, I'd rather watch (without a doubt) the best riders in the world running around in proceession on the prototype pinacle of motorcycling engineering we now enjoy. Yawn. No wonder I fall asleep after the first lap. Get real.

I don't give a toss whether these guys are the absolute ducks nuts on a bike or not, it's boring to watch. And eventually, if enough people agree it's boring to watch, they'll stop watching. And if everyone stops watching, there'll be no reward for sponsorship. And if there's no sponsorship, there's no money. And then, oh yeah, holy shit we might as well watch the swamp buggy racing from Florida because there's nothing else happening.

I don't doubt the skill, dedication or sheer bloody mindedness that it takes to get "there". Just stating that I'd rather have an early night and a nice shag than sit up by myself to watch the usual suspects do 30 laps in the so called "World Champs"

[cmoore]

it's all good to me.....the riding's good the bikes are good...i don't expect a last corner "overtake to win" in every race....I do enjoy lorenzo or Dani racing out front...seeing those guys blow the others away is cool to me....class is class......

[Ivan]

i only now watch last 10 laps of 125 the whole moto 2 and go to bed for the main GP I only watch quailfying for the GP now its more entertaining someone 30 seconds ahead is boring to me

I think you'd change your mind if you went to a GP. And since when have you been able to supply a nice shag?

[White trash]

Never pretended to be able, however, Susan is more than adequately skilled in that department. Although, I expect you'll be taking my word for it.

Back to MotoGp. You telling me the racing's well worth sitting there @ 02:00 on a Monday morning to watch? Didn't think so....

the so called "World Champs"

Having followed the premier class since the KR (senior) days (`got out' to 5 events up close), I can say that its always been like this i.e. generally small grids, 3 riders that start with a chance to win, maybe a couple of key passes, etc. The main difference is that now there's, er, way more sponsorship. bigger crowds and tv audiences.
I utterly failed to appreciate the soccer world cup as a spectacle. At work we speculated how the game could be `fixed', until someone pointed out that several billion fans had no idea it was broken.

Only sassin ya...I've heard you're a ripper shag!

Mate...I can honestly say I love Moto GP racing. More than any other type of motorcycle racing. Always have..always will. The best bikes...with the best riders BY far. Can't beat it...even if there were only five bikes.

[Sensei]

I don't think Rossi was very keen to have 10+ million taken off his pay check by Yamaha , don't blame him fucked if I would . Ducati will be another challenge for Rossi to sort like he has done with the other bikes he has ridden over the years , so I hope this is the route he takes .

[NZsarge]

Read an interesting article by Colin Edwards in the latest Aussie Motorcycle news regarding their bike etc. He has high praise for Spies. Mind you...he would seeing as Spies is kicking his ass.

If Spies goes to the works Yamaha team and the bike remains competitive I think Lorenzo (and everyone else) is gonna have a battle on his hands in a year or two, reckon he's the real deal that fulla.


Wish the Thous were back next year though.

Agreed....

Oh.. and bring on Crutchlow too...

[BIG DOUG]

Isn't it ironic that rossi say's to yamaha "get rid of lorenzo or I'll leave" sound's like someone running scared from the pretender to his crown f**king pussy,even fully fit he wouldn't have bet lorenzo this year.

[roadracingoldfart]

Rossi will go to Ducati , J.B. will tag along and regret it after next year, Lorenzo will win next year again .
J.B. is a god but lets remember Lorenzo is where he is without J.Bs. input to his ride.

J.B. will be missed , look at WSB Ducati after Tardozzi .... they are fucked for direction.

Im more interested in who will be the Honda riders next year.

[slowpoke]

Agreed....

Oh.. and bring on Crutchlow too...

Haha, Crutchlow is one guy I'm happy to see struggle. Definitely not one of the paddocks "nice guys".

Dunno 'bout that. The grids may not have been any more full but some of the battles back in the late 80's/90's were epic: Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz, Gardner, Sarron, Magee etc. Even close to home you had those 2 amazing Australian Grand Prix in 89, 90, multiple bikes battling on the last lap. Then there were the amazing slip streaming mind games at close to 200mph in Europe.

No pussy, he's just pissed off that Lorenzo is ridng on the back of the development work that he and Burgess have done. They've taken the M1 from an also ran to the best bike in the paddock. Why would anyone want a serious competitor to have access to all your hard work?

Lorenzo is good, but neither he or his crew have got the development smarts that Rossi and Burgess have. Hence I'm hoping Rossi and Burgess go to Ducati and kick arse.

J.B. is a god but lets remember Lorenzo is where he is without J.Bs. input to his ride.

Waddayamean? JB built his ride. I read a write up about when JB and Rossi first rode Biaggi's M1. Rossi reckoned it was a pig, pushing the front, couldn't turn or brake (remember Biaggi losing the front all time?). JB was all smiles 'cos he'd been there and done that with the NSR and knew what the problem was: raise engine and COG. The rest is history. Lorenzo is well and truly reaping the reward from Rossi and Burgess's hard work.
