Wet conditions yesterday so it isn't a true reflection, that said Rossi & Stoner should be at the top.
I can't wait for the season to start. Let the battle begin

Re: Moto GP

Fredzedex, if you have a look at Toseland's report on the Yahoo Eurosport page, he cocked up by waiting for the wet track to dry out too much before he went out, for some reason the track got slower as it dried out more

I reckon JT will be a regular in the top eight all the way through the year, with a few possible podiums at tracks he knows well.


Now, is that test on Eurosport again tonight?

Re: Moto GP

i think he's got the best chance of any brit in the last decade,factory bike,decent tyres,proven team,but he's gotta go some to beat the top four or five.

i'll be watching(or sky plussing) every practice and race on eurosport.

Rumour has it that eurosport have lost the contract to cover it after this year,wont be the same without toby and jools(can live without randy tho)

I hope this isn't true as these guys are the best team around including Randy
I don't think coverage of BSB has been the same since Jules & Keith did it

Re: Moto GP

Good point, but I do also love the WSB when James Whitham's commentating - I really do hope Eurosport do whatever they can to keep all the bike racing - don't want to have to subscribe to Sky Sports again and subsidise sodding bloody f***ing football

What about Jack Burnicle ( spelling ? ) he really does make/ask some mad statements/questions.

Sky had the best live coverage of BSB including commentry, ITVs coverage is not good. I always watch it delayed on Sky ( its the only reason I have sky sports )
