    Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

    Fingers crossed, this year's season should be very competitive.

    I'm really looking forward to the new season!

    Anyone else?

                      Yes I know that option is there.... I don't feel like I have enough time to do it justice thought. I usually just catch the highlights on a British channel on Monday night. Hopefully they're running them again (not confirmed). I guess I'll find out tonight!

                          Yeah buddy! Question: why do so many people dislike Mark Marquez? I've seen him booed on the podium at a number of past races.

                            Good question. Maybe because he crushed the competition, including Rossi, with in-your-face race tactics? I think it could be argued that he had a run that was as good or better than any other in the history of the sport. That said, I can't remember a race that I was happy that he won, except for maybe beating Lorenzo.

                              Irish Road Racing kicking off soon.
                              A full season of Irish national road racing is on the cards in 2022 after two barren years, with the sport heavily hit by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
