Qatar GP

Yip, best bikes end up with best rider - such is life. That rule pretty much applies to any of the factory entered machines - none of them are mugs at spotting talent.

If Stoner never had his moments of "the wobbly lower lip" - i could throw a bit more support his way. All the top guys have their own issues that the media love to portray, VR suffers from wry smugness, Pedrosa with his stone-faced approach, Lorenzo - exudes cocky confidence.

If any of those traits rub someone up the wrong way - then you tend to support the 'other guy" - whomever that may be.

Hahaha, I was winding the Stoner knockers up with the bike bit. Think it'll take a while before HRC takes sides.

As far as the racers personality goes...I really don't care what they're like as people. I simply admire the skill they have...hence my favoritism with Stoner. I mean hell...Mick Doohan was as boring as bat shit, but he was the man!

Ya reckin Lorenzo will beat Stoner?
Be good for the championship if he does rather than Stoner buggering off into the distance over the series!

At Jerez yes...and other tracks. Lorenzo is too good/fast to let Stoner have it all his own way. And when Jerry and Rossi get thet Ducati sorted, I'm sure he'll join in.

Yeah hard to disagree with that at this early stage...
Although i'd really like to see Spies further up the order.

Me too. But I think we'll have to wait till they got back to the thous to see that happen.

Great race to a mostly predictable result... I mean, did anybody think Stoner wouldn't win, Dovi 'back a bit' and Pedobear in the top three. Thought we might have seen a little more of Spies, but a top effort none the less.

First time watching it on the wall in HD, awesome

He certainly gave the picks a solid workout! Forks near fully compressed and still hard on the picks whilst tipping it in...

Watched it last night ,

Now reading between the lines and from the scuttlebutt Ive heard due to my work,

The Honda is the end of last seasons one with the gearbox and same suspension the vfour with something different as far as stroke or crank layout

The Bridgestones , need to get heat in them from the get go with stoner and Honda being able to do that ( you have to feel sorrry for Elias , but then he should have Known this )

You have to feel for pedrosa , he rode his heart out and looked gutted at the end.

Now the interesting thing to watch is Rossi on the the Ducati .. Will they junk the Carbon fibre frame , in order to build the flex needed to work with the Bridgestones ??

Also I know its not bikes but the other one to watch I think is the Virgin F1 team , apparently all ( a lot ) done with Computer simulation ,,,Art to part ... ( which is what I do , so for me I hope they do well)
