Re: MotoGP 2008

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.

Re: MotoGP 2008

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

Re: MotoGP 2008

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 ?

Re: MotoGP 2008

Well done Toseland, another good performance considering the equipment.

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

Re: MotoGP 2008

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.

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.....

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

Re: MotoGP 2008

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.
