    What do the riders do when not racing?

    So I know they have the official tests in MotoGP during pre-season and throughout the year, but I have been curious how much riding of the GP bikes are the riders allowed to do? I'm sure during most of their off time they are doing the usual training (cycling, weights,etc), but do they get to...

    Why the ridicule of riders who are physically small?

    I'm not sure why some people like to pick at or dig at riders for being physically small. If they have something natural that gives them some kind of 'advantage', who is to tell them they can not use it? As in basketball, physically tall players who have mediocre skills get drafted all the...

    Is it Riders for Health?

    I remember reading something about getting a ride on a GP bike behind a GP rider some time ago, not sure exactly when. You get 2 laps, 1 to acclimatise yourself to their speeds, 1 to get a heart attack when they go full out. I also remember something about a guy who rode behind Biaggi and came...

    Do you cheer for your favorite rider(s) rivals as well?

    If your favorite rider(s) have a rival or are intertwined in rivalries, do you refuse to cheer for their rivals (on other teams, or they may even be teammates)? I cheer for riders that I happen to like, don't really take into consideration of rivalries.

    There is apparently some discussion amongst MotoGP riders about the possibility of some form of protest at the Shanghai race in May. Opinions? I have followed events in Tibet for years but truly wonder about the general consensus in the MotoGP community on such matters. Reuters Article

    Fav. riders bike affect what you purchase.

    Do you actually buy a Honda because Hayden rides one, or Pedrosa. Do you buy the Yamaha because Rossi races one? Do you buy a Kawa because Hopper races one. Does what you favorite racer ride really affect what bike and dealership you go into when buying a new bike?
