Hi All, venturing to the Sachsenring in July 2014 & was wondering if anybody has any tips for hotels in Chemnitz & how easy it is to get to the circuit by train. Thanks Gaz

Cocky, over-confident cry-baby

Yesterday night the local radio of Tavullia announced that Valentino Rossi may begin next season without his legendary chief engineer, Jeremy Burgess. http://www.pu24.it/2013/11/06/radio-tavullia-lancia-una-bomba-il-rapporto-di-vale-con-jeremy-burgess-se-guastato/ (Italian)    

I figure we can post news here as it happens and discuss accordingly.   First item: Ducati back in factory colors.  With riders Davies and some other guy.   I think the team will do well given the changes in regulations.  Go Chaz!  (Fellow Welshman)   Second item: As L8 posted, more...

Its official now. There will be no Moto GP at Laguna Seca in 2014. Mazda released a press statement Monday in which they cited an increase in the event fee of $800,000 and a lack of state support, which both Indy and Austin receive from their states, as the principal reasons behind the decision...

Valentino Rossi is now a Moto3 team owner. It's official that a VR46 team will race in 2014 with factory KTM bikes and Romano Fenati as #1 rider. The sponsor is SKY. http://www.gpone.com/en/2013092311547/E-ufficiale-Sky-con-la-VR46-in-Moto3.html  

So if you could pick what riders go to which teams next would you pick useing Scott and pol and all motogp riders

Its being reported on several sites that the Moto GP in Laguna Seca may be cut from the 2014 calendar now that Indy has been confirmed for next year and possibly beyond. With the rumored addition of a round in Brazil and the addition of a race in Argentina, there may not be room for a third US...

The 2014 rider market is very thin... only Sykes, Rea, Redding, Cruchlow come to mind. Pol won't go until 2015 (just like Lorenzo signed a pre contract 2 years before GP debut, plus he ain't ready) The rest of the Moto2 guys <strike>suck a fat one</strike> need more time to develop. Maybe...

http://motomatters.com/news/2013/05/30/motogp_s_claiming_rule_to_be_dropped_fro.html   Discuss.   Questions:     1. Will they still have the four-dicks style podium with a "non-MSMA"/CRT/non-prototype/grid filler" in parc firm? 2. Would any factory opt to get the Dorna ECU to get...

Assume they make it on the grid and field competent riders (i.e. De Puniet, Spies, etc.), around what bike on the current grid do you think their performance will be around in 2014? I'm thinking at least it will be around Aspar's ART pace, maybe not from the outset but over the course of the...

pretty cool stuff....I hope he does it   Former two-time now retired World Superbike champion James Toseland will attempt to break the official world motorcycle land speed record in 2014. The current record is 376.363mph (605,697 km/h) and is held by Rocky ‘Rocketman’ Robinson and Toseland...

Lorenzo was a guest on stage Thursday with the legendary Giacomo Agostini at the Yamaha booth at the EICMA motorcycle exhibition in Milan. He was asked how much longer he would race, probably in light of Casey Stoner's stunning retirement after this season at age 27. "I'll take two more years...

http://www.crash.net...t_for_2014.html Sorry, but why does Stefan Bradl deserve this over Bautista? Bautista finished 5th in the championsip and Bradl finished 8th. Bautista had two 3rd place podiums this season, Bradl's best result was just a single 4th place. Bautista finished ahead of...

Accd to M. Oxley Honda in reaction to the CRTs is planning to sell RCV replicas with spring valves - not pneumatic ones. Can't write more now - just came from hand surgery and sore as hell.
