Jerez, 11 years ago  

Am off to Le mans from the Thursday    Anybody else going?    

Daytona this weekend. FP1 & 2 done. First quals today.   (Going to do this thread like the SX, one thread for the season since we only have a few people who follow motorcycle racing on powerslide.)   So, this is "America's great race" supposed "most historic and storied motorcycle...

Marq Marquez is a talented and a very good rider. How do you think his result in 2013 season?  

Benny Solis signs with M4 riding aboard Honda CBR600rr. Daytona SportBike Class http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=50725 Im thinking this will be his breakout year.

Who's going? I need advice. For years I've heard good things about making this trip. Any with personal experience at this venue care to share? If not Brno, where?

I am going to this years MotoGP at Phillip Island and have been looking at ticket options. It appears the only way to get Pit Access is to purchase VIP tickets. Is there another way to get Pit Access passes or do I have to fork out for VIP tickets?.  Thanks

Am deffo going this year whether I can round up some mates or not - don't fancy taking the Mrs & kids this time, will be a nightmare with 3 under 6 year olds!  Will camp on my my own if needs must!   Anyone planning going?  Will prob drive down from Lancashire, so thinking could pick anyone...

Krop has answered the call and written an excellent piece outlining some up and comers that we can keep an eye on.  Great to see a lot of Nationalities represented in his potential list.   http://www.motomatters.com/opinion/2013/01/09/under_the_radar_part_1_riders_who_could_.html

1. Go Dungey 2. Go Villopoto 3. Go Stewart 4. Go away Barcia

Was just reading on Autosport that they're bringing in penalty points for 2013, that should shake thngs up a bit, no more being a naughty boy or else it seems.  Sounds like, in theory, it could be a good thing to me.   This is what is says:   MotoGP is to introduce a penalty points...

So okay, if you were in charge of the racing what new rules would you bring in to make the sport better for 2013? I am sure you all have your own ideas on how to make the racing closer and more exciting (since that's what most people seem to want). How do you achieve it though? I'd offer my...

Well we may as well get this one going. As noted in the 2012 thread I was very wrong about last season. Let's see how wrong I can be again. 1 Lorenzo 2 Pedrosa 3 Rossi 4 Bradl 5 Marc 6 Cal 7 Dovi 8 Spies 9 Iaonnie (I know I ...... the .... out of that spelling job but I'm on my phone)...

Just as I predicted it looks almost certain that now that Marquez is moving on to MotoGP, Dorna is now going to do what everyone has asked for and what every one thinks should have been the rule for day 1 of Moto2 and bring in a minimum rider/bike weight limit for 2013. Co-incidence? I think...
