Re: Moto GP

He should really try a "high performance bike" like the one I am riding here in 1969......ratherr than a 'sissy' vespa

Built from Hospital bed tubing by my best friend and myself, it had No brakes. 1 gear , no clutch and a 125 cc Pope lawn mower engine and inflatable wheel barrow wheels. Did 45mph and sounded like a articulated lorry (semi-trailer) under full throttle even when it was a mile away from you...

Another friend tried to keep up with me on a BSA 125 Bantom in the bush and was left behind.....

Not sure I agree with you there, I think last year really hurt Rossi so this year he will try to win all the races in a similar fashion to yesterday, so if the other bikes don't have a speed advantage, most races will be a bit of a procession at the front, with Rossi Wrapping it up in September. Rossi's days of entertaining by playing with his opponents may have to wait until then. This season there will be few mistakes from Rossi, and Yahamma, with top 3 finishes most weekends.

Re: Moto GP

Well done to Stoner. He absolutly dominated that race. Rossi undoubetly was let down by his tyres, but still....

That Aussie is a star!

Certainly showed that he has potential...
With his new wife on the grid holding the umbrella, maybe he was on a 'promise' and in a hurry to get home

Re: Moto GP

see stoner did it again today in china,they gonna have to fit that ducati with indicators for passing down the straights!!
i usually watch the qualifying when i can and stoner seems to be getting a bit full of himself ,waving people off when they get too close to him on a hot lap.its all part of the game.
see bradley smith did well again in the 125s.i think this 16 year old from oxfordshire will go places

I suppose the alternative is the Vermeulen/Capirossi possiblity which is what you get when you do not wave someone off

Chris - a wet weather expert that hates racing in the wet. Fantastic stuff! Stoner solid as well.
