MotoGP 2013

[Oscar]

I always knew certain Kiwi's were instrumental in MotoGP, just didn't realise so many of them posted in this thread.

This thread was pointed out to the Race Director once.
He laughed.

hilarity. I have the race on my PVR (yay Sommet) and after a WHOLE YEAR of not reporting it, I was sitting on the couch yesterday and the Radio NZ sports news comes on and after the usual bullshit about eggball and whatnot (cricket I think) the guy goes "and Marc Marquez is the world champion" and I was so angry because I was going to avoid spoilers and shit all day and get a surprise when I watched it last night. Instead the taxpayer funded jerks fucked it up for me. Disappoint.

We had a group getting together on monday nights to watch the race all season.

I had to delete NZ moto, motogp and race supplies from my facie to do this.

I should have said "going to my place of employment"..

Yeah, I used to have one of those too.

Then the thought occurred, why work when you can ride?

Ahhhhh I see! The kink on the front straight is referred to as turn 1! My bad. I thought turn 2 at the end of the pit straight was turn 1! Edit:...there's still something not quite right 'bout that pic! I can't recall there being any greenery round that area! Certainly not that close I don't think. And it'd be behind a fence I would've thought?

[Mental Trousers]

Scroll down that article a bit, the greenery is a tree in the background well back from the track. It's insane cos you've got Pedrosa on a GP bike with trees and power poles in the background. From that shot it feels more like a street race than a permanent track.
