    Tend to agree, MM could maybe turn up for the first time on Friday practice at 1st round and be on the pace by Saturday morning ...................... Dontcha hate natural talent :-)

    This might explain the fairly modest livery for Yamaha on this years model at launch?

    It's great to see a sponsor on the Yamahas again.

    It's absolute bullshit to see the 2 biggest markets for MotoGP are no longer free to air. Best way to shrink market share and lose sponsors is to sell out to Sky.

    I have recently read, but can't remember where, (it's a bugger getting old) that this plan has struck a problem. An existing sponsor is not prepared to yield space for the new sponsors name. IIRC Monster (?) claim they have the contract. Hopefully all concerned can sort this before it gets too complicated.

    Yep, if your bikes are slow they may as well look good. Here's hoping that Honda comes to the table with a few more horses for the 'open' bikes.

    Yep. NH has done enough time on uncompetitive dogs.

    Yeah it is. but luckily I'm a SKY subscriber and got the WSB live in from Austruckingfailure last sunday ! Appreciate that !

    If they don't show Motogp I have a arranged for a mate to burn off a copy which will arrive on the morning after, I'm covered.

    Well I just got totally overcome by the spirit of the occasion and forked out for the MotoGP video subscription again. A bit scary for a minute, it looked like the price had gone up by 35Euros but I looked a bit harder and found the basic video pass price.

    Only worry now is that on the laptop I can't see the little icon that lets me put the video on the TV.
    I guess I've got about a month to find it.

    Thing was still faster than the Ducati at the last test weekend, wasn't it?

    You can get your flights booked for your favourite GPs now. Dates have been finalised on the Calendar.

    Not according to the times posted earlier in this thread. Iannone was fastest, but everybody including the factory test rider beat Hayden and Aoyama.

    From the times available so fat today, Hayden is ahead of the Ducatis - and Pedrosa. So the times may not mean a lot?
