MotoGP 2012

[carbonhed]

With Hayden in a respectable grid position Rossi (and his team) have been hugely embarassed. An unthinkable scenario and we will be looking for something improving tomorrow.......................

Last of the protoype bikes...

jeez I cant remember when I was last up at 4am .....work's going to be a bitch

At times like this I love mysky.

[pritch]

I might watch the first two rces later, just get up in time for the main event.

Pedrosa had a bad day, he didn't like his bike so he pulled into the pits to change and the other bike woudn't start. Put him off his stride.
He'd better watch out though, Marquez is coming...

I don't think we should read too much into the fact that Rossi is racing a Ferrari next weekend. Not yet!

[Crasherfromwayback]

yeah, several zillion bucks later & 2.2 secs off pole

Getting beat up by Hayden and Barbera. Not too flash for the worlds best development rider.

Not at all. Presiozi is supposed to be a genius, Burgess has a brilliant record as a crew chief, and Rossi has the reputation of giving the best feedback. There's some big reputations on the line, here's hoping they can make a race of it.

Bummer for you and the rest of you K1's. It is LIVE noon tomorrow (Sunday) here. After I get up, have a coffee, some B&E and a dump I will be ready to watch.
Hope the raceing is more watchable than last year.

[cmoore]

main race is live here at 7am....nice time for a coffee.....

Stoner is already telling everyone why he can't win.....http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Casey+Stoner

Pedrosa won't get another year at this rate...unless the new engine hassles mean they can't blame the riders

I agree that Hayden must have embarrassed Rossi big time.....

Luckt Spies crashed as well or he might have been embarrassed by crutchless

As a Yamaha nut...im happy it seems to have started the year well..I think the monster team has been getting better each year so no reall surprises...be nice to challange the honda...but would also be good if the ducpussy was up there...

I guess there is still the fact we havn't run these bikes for a full race lenght.....and of course tyres seems to be a big issue......

can't wait for the flag to drop!!

Problem with that is the frickin commentators usually say shit that happens in the previous 2 races during the motoGP race. If you want no spoilers, you have to watch them in order.

Especially good for all of the Hayden knockers.

I wonder if Lorenzo wins the championship again, everyone will cry that it's just because he has the best bike like they all do when Stoner wins?

I reckon we're gonna see some ding dongs this year. Bring it.

Maybe Lorenzo's not such a bad bike developer after all?

[rachprice]

Well done Lorenzo! Good to see him shine in a situation you wouldn't think is normally his strength (worn tyres, sliding)

Stoner Tsk Tsk wearing his tyres to much early on, expected better
Am sure he is right pissed that the midget beat him

Will spies still have a job at the end of this year?

As much as crutchlow is a douche, he rode well (loose though), good on him for taking dovi!

Good to see Hayden do relatively well, shame bout barbera getting in too hot during their battles

[Crasherfromwayback]

I think he's a master at it. After all, when he won the title as Rossi's team mate, more often than not his bike looked the better of the two.

[pritch]

crutchlow is a douche,

Golly girl, what did he do to upset you?

[rachprice]

Golly girl, what did he do to upset you?

Haha not that much just reckon he was always a little arrogant especially since he was never actually achieving much

But for sure he is doing awesome this year
Hopefully he will be good for the sport in the uk!
