    Sir Stirling Moss is another - one of the most famous drivers in history, yet never won a driver's WC.

    Yep amazing man have you seen the racing legends programs very intresting
    I think Dani is one of those - he's had the title in his grasp a couple of times, only to be injured

    Yep dani amazing esp since he hasint got weight to trow around either 51 kg gezz he half my weight nearly . last year really impresed me . i surpose steped up after cassey was injured and hrc through

    there full support behind him . he wa sin the zone . even crashed at philip island liked that new

    vigour . i like him cause not dude that likes the lime light , and you go think without him as rival

    The world chamipship whouldint be such prize all guys must feel that come down to races enjoyed are the close battles .


    (collarbone, mostly) and miss races. Now he's missed the opportunity - there's a youngster on the patch that no-one is going to beat. Rossi has already branded Marquez possibly the greatest motorcycle rider of all time. Honda's Mr Nakamoto must be chuckling to himself - how are Yamaha going to counter the package of the fastest bike and a rider who is in a league of his own. (Another Mick Doohan? I reckon so).

    (And, scarily, they reckon his younger brother is even faster).

    I know that is scary that and Espargaro brothers he real talent too isint he on crt

    Then, there's the Espargaro brothers. Aleix is wicked fast on the CRT bike and Pol makes the move to Yamaha next season.


    Next season is going to be amazing. There are some really exciting new riders coming through. And a huge increase in prototypes with Yamaha leasing engines and all the 2013 prototypes - that's potentially four works bikes, four satellite bikes and five engines in CRT-type frames. Honda is supposed to be bringing out five of its new production racers. Ducati is also supposed to be offering this year's prototypes as well (all the leased 2013 prototypes would carry the spec ECUs). Could be interesting.
    going be good allright

    Yeah I think Lorenzo will go well there. But I still think MM is on a hard to stop roll. So...

    Lorenzo

    Pedro

    Rossi

    Crutchlow has got the new gas tank now so can be quick from the start. If Bautista and Bradl can get a into g it could get a bit crowded toward the front.
    - I hope

    I thought I picked one earlier in the season. But that might have been just talking to Geoff before watching a race...I'm shocking for not remembering what my wife sends me to the shop to get, let alone something talked about two months ago.

    You should try it playing 'Forza'. Much more realistic.

    I can't remember, Brno favour Yamahas or Hondas ??
    I'm hoping Yamahas so a bit of a fight happens with MM.

    ps Pritch, Crutchlow had the new tank at Indy but wasn't sure he liked it ????
    Not a big fan of him myself, I'd rate a few as good as him Dovi for eg.

    Awesome to watch! Great to see her not let herself get bullied around. Man...those 450's must have to get rebuilt all the time working that hard.

    No. I got the same as you last week! Also got 4th. Still not enough in the work championship. Another guy got the top 5 and pole!! Took $30 for a two week rollover. 74 points & I thought it was mine, but no, bugger. It is a lottery though, it's the same 5, 6 or 7 guys in a different order. Get one wrong and go from hero to zero. Keeps it interesting though eh?

    I'm thinking: MM, DP, VR, JL & CC this weekend. That Honda gearbox certainly helps that wee bit.

    The thing now is, who's going to pick MMs first non win? Curiouser & curiouser.
    Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

    Xbox is gay, and GT6 comes out in a couple of months

    For my money
    MM
    Rossi
    Lorenzo
    Pedro
    CC

    If Rossi can run like he did towards the end of the last round I think he can get to the front but I don't think he can get past MM
