Re: Moto GP
Next year with the 800cc will be interesting. First race is scheduled (tentatively) on March 10th and it will be the Qatar Grand Prix.

Re: Moto GP
i was gutted rossi lost - i had this funny feeling something was going to happen
i dont know what happened but it seems he was off the pace anyway not including the crash cos usually he would have caught up that gap( seen him in 22nd and still win) it maybe to do with how hot it was and the tyres he chose maybe he went for too hard a tyre.
roll on next year

Re: Moto GP
Great result all round.
A new World MotoGP champion to end the 1000 cc years and
a maiden Moto GP victory for Troy Bayliss, the 2006 World superbike champion...

Re: Moto GP
Yep, Troy was pretty impressive. Should be a Moto GP regular in my mind.

Spooky.
Some of the Rossi/Gibernau battles were classics.

Re: Moto GP
since returning from the Valencian GP i have just dragged myself out of the bottom of a Vodka bottle!!!!
Haha yep that was a mad twist to a drama and excitment filled season!! big well done to "the kentucky kid" like rossi said he deserved it in the end and he's a cool bloke. Coul;dnt believe it when he went down infront of where i was sat! it was asif a goal went in at a football stadium all the ****in spanish started chanting and chearing!! i just had my head in my hands and glanced accross at the fan club and it was the same there!  Everytime the dude came past every rossi fan stood up and gave him a massive cheer!!!!
He makes few mistakes but that one cost him big time, good to hear him joke about it after sayin he was jealous of the mistakes from Yamaha and Michelin and wanted to get even!!!
From the start he didnt look comfortable as Casey was pulling away on the straights, down to the engine running 120'c!! this didnt help as he had hard tyres on and had to push when the tyres didnt want to resulting in a soft as **** slide!!
had a great time other than that and would advise any1 to go, cant wait till next march as Vale's allready quickest in testing!!!!
we'll have it back next year!!

Re: Moto GP
The new FIAT logo looks really good as a paintjob on Colin and Valentino's bikes and leathers doesn't it?  Well I like it

Re: Moto GP
It was Perfect Race!!!!!!!!
Rossi was the man there!!
Ducati was much quicker on straights than Yamaha, due to this the race became very entertaining with lots of leaders change!!!
