I haven't yet seen it. Re-air is tomorrow from noon until 3. But spill away as far as I'm concerned. I'm not as interested in the factory winners this year as I am seeing how the CRTs progress through the season.
Rumor has it we'll see a Norton in the field next season. Along with possibly Benelli and KTM...this will likely be the future of the GP...no more bazillion dollar prototype machines....
I'm afraid it's the only way the class will survive. And while it could be sad because the GP circuit is the test bed for the future of motorcycling, I think it could be exciting as it will force changes in design of chassis and suspension components that previously weren't the accepted norm...the frameless Panagale being an example. Sure there have been frameless machines before, but they weren't common and were exclusive to exclusive machines (Black Shadow etc)
Imagine what will happen when the techno wizards of Japan take hold of that??
 
Yeh , with you Josh .
The factory bikes will get your interest up , trust me . (And you know you can trust me , eh mate) .
Just hope it doesn't degenerate into ANOTHER superbike competition .
Watch all three races if you can . All were very goodly .

Cheers , Simon .

3 months? Should we prepare the "cave"? :D

Need to set up a time to talk on the phone soon about this year mate, lots to discuss!
 
I saw the Moto2 and MotoGP races

The Moto2 class sure has competition, lots of lead swapping and guys running wide in T1 (tho I think the sand on the track helped there, as did getting squeezed out on the rumble strips)

It looked like Jorge wasn't going to make it there when Stoner was 2 secs ahead, what a strong finish!

I wonder what happened to Spies? Did his arm get yanked off in that practice crash? He barely beat Edwards on the CRT bike

Apparently Spies developed chatter problems as a result of his practice crash. They couldn't adjust it out in time for the race. He was quoted as saying it was like the bike was on knobbies. See for yourself here: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/178410/1/chatter_behind_ben_spies_qatar_motogp_misery.html
 
Man! That was tasty! I thought Stoner was gonna walk away from them as usual once he got out in front but little Jorge took it to him at the end! What a move on Pedrosa with what three laps left? Ballsy for sure. I thought he was pinched off somehow he squeezed inside Dani with Stoners exhaust pipe right up his nose. "Flash bit o riding" hey Simon? :D
I missed the 2 and 3 races though :( how'd Mavryck do??
