But it's be interesting to hear what you think of it. My brother n law goes to those car meets like Indy and Nascar, said the crowds are incredible like 200 thousand just in the stands.
Don't think bikes should bother with it myself.

How long will the three yanks last in GPs ? Hayden,Spies and Edwards aren't likely to raise their game any further ?

Yeah to be completely honest Indy is my least favourite round on the calendar, usually tedious racing because the track layout is a bit bland and many dangers lie off of the racing line, and there's at least one injury. Just not sure when I'll get the chance to see a live event in the coming few years, and this is a season to remember already. The atmosphere around it in the city seems alright at least but that could just be the advertising.

Indy is different because those that go to watch the MotoGP are mostly true rev heads. They don't care if it's Nascar, MotoGP, lawnmower or motorized bar stool racing, if it's got an engine and wheels they want to see it race. That makes it unique because usually it's only motorcyclists that are interested in MotoGP. Even amongst motorcyclists there's divisions about which is the best to watch, whereas the Indy audience don't care.

You have to see at least one and then you'll be back for sure.
I was humming and harring this year but the other half pushed,saying, "you know you love it when you're there".
I did and true to the word it was brilliant. (never had a bad one and i've been real lucky with weather).
I have so many memories from GPs, just wish I'd done it sooner. (never saw 500s !!)
I'm thinking Catalunya next year already, haven't been there since 05. If you are thinking cost avoid Italy cos its 3 times the price, but saying that, its the best and the one I mostly attend.

**Wingnut** · 28th June 2013, 06:34

**Kendog** · 28th June 2013, 07:30

It's been building from last year for Pedrosa huh ? maybe it's just his year and time ?
But hey shit happens, Horhay could get plated and get back quick and then have Pedrosa have a whoppsie, nothing is for sure.
Always figured it was a Honda year, they have an edge at the mo plus two great riders.

C'mon Rossi eight straight wins please !!!!!

LOL.

**imdying** · 28th June 2013, 09:37

Well he was my pick for champ this year

**Geeen** · 28th June 2013, 10:13

So who is going to be 1st Yamaha at Assen, Crutchless or HRH Rossi? My money will be on Cal, unless he bins it......

11 wins in a season is his best, but I can't seem to find how many consecutive wins he's ever had.

And that's how easily it can all change. Better get better soon...else I'll have to give OAB two doz!

**yod** · 28th June 2013, 16:33

Dani, in his trailer 5 minutes after Georgie-boy binned it.....

**Drew** · 28th June 2013, 17:15

I think it's a bit different. Danni was taken out at least twice to lose a chance at the title.

Jeorge just fucked it up all of his own accord. Which is very out of character...Untill you look at the last time he was in a close race for the title.
