Re: Moto GP

Can't believe i've only spotted this thread now. I go down to Donny every year with a few mates. anyone else planning on making the trip this year? could maybe meet for an A.O.B.B.Q!!

also to get tickets for donny this year which is on from 30th June til 2nd July, £78.00 gets you a whole weekend pass including camping from thurs night til monday morning if so desired. still on sale, follow this link;

I completely agree, the Eurosport boys are great, really make you feel part of the action.
It's also good to see there are three bike makers that can win races this year. It will go down to the wire this season!

Re: Moto GP

I'm also a big fan of bikes and the motogp at Mugello was first class with all the front runners beating each other up. Haven't seen these boys fight it out like that for a while. The Doctor has for sure had his run of bad luck but has fought back after switching back to the 05 frame, makes for a more interesting battle for the rest of the season.

Roosi is defo a class act and has signed for another year with Yamaha when it goes to 800cc, which should make for a great years racing with everyone on the starting blocks.

Unfortunately I don't ride anymore partly down to the poor condition of our roads now, but managed to do a couple of track days at Brands on my R6, if you've got a bike go for it, it's sex on 2 wheels, no white lines, no potholes, no manhole covers, no volvo drivers and your all going the same way.

Re: Moto GP

i know i was gutted for edwards he did so well to catch back up and then he pulled the perfect block move and was unlucky to catch a piece of slippy grass rather than gravel otherwise he would have won

more of a challenge for rossi now

Re: Moto GP

Gotta agree with all of what's been said. Just take this weekend - F1 was the usual procession and now that "Monster" Montoya has gone they're lacking one of the characters of the grid. He always spoke his mind! This weekend's MotoGP was yet again a masterpiece of racecraft by Vale, the guy is just an utter legend. Thank god he didn't take the F1 drive at Ferrari, it would have been the killing of him. And top marks to Marco Melandri and Loris Capirossi - to have raced as they have over the last few weeks after their spills takes great gobs of courage and balls as big as coconuts!

Surprise of the weekend for me was how competitive the BSB
