Good article that one, interesting stuff. Sure hope things work out and they can keep a set of rules for a few (four) years. That'll probably do the most to help out things.

Be warned, bike porn!

For those that can't control themselves at work, you may want to wait till you get home to have your orgasm.

Some very detailed and close-up pics in the pits of Casey Stoner's 2012 RC213V that were taken at last years Indianapolis GP.

Nice post, thanks for that.

In other news, Stoner manages to shock absolutely no-one by confirming his participation in V8 Super Cars.

His new house has five bedrooms and a ten-car garage, apparently. Oh well, he can park the rest on the driveway, I suppose.

Wonder if he'll do a wildcard or two on this? More pics here.

I would really really reaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyyyyy like to see HRC giving Stoner a wildcard appearence at PI this year, just to see him make it 7 in a row. However the chances of that are pretty low.
-I don't see Stoner wanting to ride in a MotoGP this year after just retiring
-The chances of him being able to jump on a new bike and try and get up to speed over a race weekend to actually be competative would be asking a hell of a lot. Even from the guy who has clearly show a complete dominace at that track.

Oh yeah, and I'm not all that keen on Honda's new paint scheme, I like last years a little better.

So, will this year finally be the time that Nicky Hayden is able to show himself as a lead rider for a team? Honda built the '07 bike for a jockey, errrrr, I mean Pedrosa, Nicky was always 2nd gun to Stoner, and then as well to Rossi. I would see this as a first time that he has a good chance to not be overshadowed personality wise (he's too quite to compete with all the hype they built up for Pedrosa when he was at Honda, or Stoner, or Rossi). Fingers crossed that good things happen, even if they do come slowly.

Couple of MotoGP related interviews on Bloomberg currently.

In one Spies talks about MotoGP, being on a non-motorcycle medium there isn't much that would be news to fans.
He must have been talking to CFWB though because he would like an additional, and separate, podium ceremony for the CRT riders.

There is also another interview about one of Spies' sponsors.

lol. Yeah, he rang the other day. But I told him to get rid of the fucking heaps of shit full stop. He obviously didn't hear me correctly!

This applies to Marquez, Ianone, Smith etc

will be interesting to see how marquez gets on..he has crashed his brains out before and it didnt take him long to get his speed back.I think the biggest hurdle is how to ride these insane machines on tyres that are truly past there best....CFWB would prolly use shorter words

I dunno. Fucked has 6 letters! And it's 'their'. (Sorry

)

I'm thinking he'll podium his first race or bin it trying. Win one (if he's not fucked from trying too hard too early) within the first five or six races. He'll be made to sit in the naughty seat more than once...and may end up in fisticuffs with Rossi. It's a real shame he didn't get to team with Stoner...as I think they're both quite similar in the way the ride the bike. Could've been a real spectacle. But I still think it's gonna be a great seaon. Can't wait actually!!

My picks...

Lorenzo

Pedro

MM

Rossi

Bautista
