moto gp laguna seca

anybody here following moto gp motorbike racing????

judt wondering....

[tsafficianado]

absolutely. qualifying was great, especially when curtis roberts parked in the middle of turn 2 and sent marco melandri tumbling through the gravel. casey stoner is killin 'em on the ducati and it doesn't even look like the doctor can catch him now. rough year for nicky, but i'm sure honda will have things sorted out by next year.
pretty exciting news that they're adding a race at indy next year.

i was watching it when melandri went down and got a pic of it

it was amazing to see him qualify 10th and end up 3rd

i love Rossi, he is just so charismatic
it will be interesting to see him with Lorenzo as a teammate next year
then TWO USGPs and i already have my tickets for both

Nicky sucks, he was lucky to get that championship in 2006, just because Rossi had 3 DNFs, two caused by engine failure and 1 caused by tire failure

Yes it's the holy grail...Rossi better sort himself out for next year. Hayden is shit Pedrosa is amazing. What ever happened to that greaceball sete gibernau? He was good but i hated him!

[bob85]

he was good but Rossi cursed him after the 04 race at Qatar, saying he was never going to win again, and he didnt

[Night Rider]

Yea he was nearly always 2nd best to Rossi, but he just disappeared out of the blue

[bob85]

well, i remember his retirement
he said he would rather retire than race for a team that wasnt competitive, and every yamaha, ducati, and honda team was filled up already

right now there are 3 guys i like next year
Rossi of course, Vermeulen is one guy i have always liked since his championship in WSS, and de Angelis, just because he was always there but could never get the win, but he was competitive throughout the 250cc class

I thought Cete raced for honda? I can't remember him announcing his retirement, must have missed it.

Stoner is going to be hard to beat on the ducati, and as a dark horse im going for Danny Pedrosa. If i was putting money on it, i think Rossi will get it together.

actually, his last year he raced for Ducati, which was 2005, but he was on Gresini Honda for years beforehand

i think Stoner and Melandri on the Ducati will be hard to do, especially Melandri
so, Pedrobot?
if Honda can get their crap together next year he could have a chance
