That pair of clowns wouldn't have a clue, mate. Sad.

Masters of the constant repetition of cliches, however...

Yep - Those commentators are average.

I wait and watch the Eurosport coverage each time with Toby Moody and Julian Ryder + the always informative Neil Spalding...... They make it sooooo much more entertaining!

Sky should get onto that coverage!

Me too and absolutely agree. Those 3 are great. I only download the Eurosport torrent from Racing for Me.

Well done to Stoner. The 2nd 1/2 of the season is at tracks that suit Stoner better - so hopefully will be close by Valencia.

Me too. While I love watching motorbike racing dumb arse commentators piss me off. Ryder, Moody and Spalding have impressed me with how the breadth and depth of their knowledge of motobike racing.

Case in point was the Spies crash. Within 30 seconds they were asking if something had broken on the bike because the crash shouldn't have damaged the rear suspension like it had, which they saw from the marshalls pushing the bike away.

Also, the wife thinks Spalders sounds sexy

It's a bad day for MotoGP when he goes.

Although after that little grizzle/rant after qualifying I must admit I was hoping he would cook that soft rear.
Seems the gamble worked for Stoner. Horhay played safe and grabbed the 20 points.
My Fav Vale, had a big one by the looks.
Eddie Lawson once said, "they'll forget me next week". Wonder if they'll remember Stoner for long ?

Haters will always hate. Fourth over all in wins in the class behind Rossi, Ago and Doohan. I think he'll be remembered just fine.

OK Pete, we get it. You have an ifinity with the short ugly dude, and we get why, but don't take it so personal man.

He'll be remembered alright, but never like Agostini or Doohan. Valentino will be remembered differently to the all I think, he's always played it different. He's more like Swantz to my mind, with a higher success rate of pulling off unfathomable moves though.

Yeah I don't think he even has a right to be compared to Ago, Doohan or Rossi mate. But I can admit that, as much as a fan as I am. So I think you have me misunderstood. And I think we get how you despise him, his wife, his money and his lifestyle mate.

Ps: You moan about his moaning as much as he moans.

I love the latest from Motomatters - his comment on the style difference between Stoner and Lorenzo is pure writing brilliance.

"Watching the two men circulate provides a stunning contrast, and is a thing of beauty to behold. Lorenzo, at his most 'Mantequilla' is smooth as butter on a summer's day. He never looks like he is trying, riding more like he was being scored for style than racing a motorcycle at the outer limits of its performance envelope. Stoner, on the other hand, punishes the Honda RC213V beneath him as if he had been taking lessons from Torquemada. His style is wild, ragged, throwing the bike around and letting it squirm and wriggle like a captured eel. Lorenzo rounds the corners with the grand sweeping gestures of a medieval nobleman, while Stoner flings the bike into the corner, squares it off, and squirts it out like a Victorian pugilist, doing it what it takes to beat the corner into submission. Though there may not be passing on every lap, yet there is great aesthetic appeal in watching the two best motorcycle racers of the moment slug it out."

Couldn't agree more. Rach and I made pretty much the same comments last night when she watched the replay. We just aren't nearly as good with words!

I dunno if I've EVER seen another racer look as smooth and effortless as Lorenzo does.
