MotoGP 2008

Unfortunately you are probally correct, his clash with Hayden was probally his only chance

I reckon Melandri has just lost all confindence, and to be fair like Capirossi last season, he's proof that Stoner isn't just where he is because of the bike...........he's awesome. Was Melandri ever the same since he had that massive off in Barca i think where ironically enough he was dragged along by Capi's Duke.

He's checking his front tyre for wear!!!

COME ON BRADDERS!!!

And Redding and Webb.

Moto GP
Great Race

1 Pedrosa
2 Rossi 1st Bridgestone
3 Lorenzo
4 Hayden
5 Caparosi
6 Toseland

11 Stoner ( After 2 off track excursions )

Pedrosa made it look easy

Stoner made it look difficult

Great save by Hayden ( must have seen Edward's save ) & Rossi thought 26 laps was enough

some hard moves by toseland,he's shaping up to be a great motogp rider,certainly takes no prisoners!!!!
he gets the new engine for the next race doesn't he?

a great, incident packed race

well done to the 125cc boys as well

heres a question.

do you watch motogp on eurosport,toby and jools and all the petrolhead banter and insight

or

bbc with the lovely miss perry(short dress and knee high boots)! listening to steve parrish and the less than knowledgeable charlie cox?

Both

Always watch it live on Eurosport ( the commentry team inc. Randy can't be beaten ) then switch to BBC during the commercials on Eurosport ( this the the only problem I have with Eurosport's coverage )

I actually taped BBC's coverage to watch their introduction & pre race interviews. So that's the best of both worlds covered

What channels do the rest of ye watch the coverage on ?

The 250cc final lap was interesting!

i think randy can go on a bit and i find myself telling him to shaddup

Well done Toseland, another good performance considering the equipment.

BBC, don't get Eurosport. I've always thought Steve Parrish was pritty good.

BBC with the lovely Suzi.... Charlie has a good turn of phrase... and Steve knows his bikes

I find Eurosport's picture to always be a bit..... rubbish.... but i love there commentators, its like having to blokes just chatting and bantering in the background..... BBC looks a bit more slick picturewise and Suzi Perry is a fitty for sure Stavros is a legend, any guy who was best mates with the Sheene gets my vote.. BBC don't cover any of 125 or 250's so watch them on Eurosport then watch mainly moto gp on bbc.

predictions for this weekend?

i think we may see the old rossi return,be interesting to see how JT goes with the new engine

Slightly biased but I hope the Ducati goes well......

or do you mean Stoner?

i dont think the real casey showed up at the last race,and whats going on with melandri?!!

Both, as in this case they coincide

The Ducati was one 'dog' last race or was Stoner 'Stoned ...he certainly liked being in the gravel

As for Melandri, seems like he has a lot to learn before he can ride this bike.....

well well well,whats gone wrong with the ducati?

Yes...looks like the Ducati is not getting the love and attention 'she' thinks she deserves and is being a right bitch.

Melandri has no confidence..................... possibly as ive nsaid before, since he was dragged along by Capirossi's Ducati in spain few seasons ago....its a shame, he was great once.
