year

Just wondering if anyone lives in Qatar or has ever flown there for the event.

I know it sounds pretty silly,but what the f@ck,we have to wait another 20 days to smell rubber at Brno,so we can discuss ........ threads! But,joking aside,imagine the situation! I think that it would be the closest championship in the history of motorcycle racing,at this level! I really can't...

Thought I would start a thread on Portimao. We have a few days until qualifying, but I am looking forward to the final race of the year. The new track looks excellent, lots of elevation changes. It is of course Bayliss's final appearance. I will be pulling for him to pick up a win at least...

Looking at the top 11 riders this year so far, everyone of them has had a podium except for Dovi and Nakano. Dovi is currently 5th in points and still without a podium finish. Will he get a podium before the season is over.

Is it possible for two factory bikes in the same garage to have different sponsors? Kwak is considering it with Aspar. With Nicky on Michelins and his Red Bull sponsorship, could he be on a totally different looking bike? Marlboro may not be too pleased with Ducati at the moment. Maybe they'll...

Sete Gibernau says he has not ruled out a return to racing this season, and claims Ducati are not the only option for him. The Spaniard has tested for Ducati a couple of times this year, in what was his first contact with MotoGP machinery since he retired at the end of 2006. His speed in the...

Who will be riding what next year? here's what i think; fiat yamaha; rossi and lorenzo tech3; toseland and edwards repsol honda; pedrosa and dovisioso gresini honda; nakano and melandri scot honda; takahashi lcr; depuniet marlboro ducati; stoner and hayden alice ducati; canepa and kalio...

Pedrosa has never won more than 2 races in a season. Things seemed to be looking good until the crash at Sachsenring. Now that Vale and Casey are both on top form, does Pedrosa have any chance to win again this season? If yes, where?

What do you think it would mean if Rossi does win the championship this year? With Jorge, Dani, Casey and Vale all front runners for the title, arguable the best motogp line up in recent years. Easily the hardest championship for Rossi to win. What if he actually does win it? What if he is the...

I haven't found any AMA on Motor's TV or Sky Sports yet this year and after watching it for the last couple of years, albeit recorded footage, I'm quite annoyed by this. Is it being televised at all in the UK this year?

im a huge ROSSI fan,but can the yamaha deliver??

is lorenzo on for a new BMW this year.......................

When Marco Melandri signed for Ducati, he cannot have foreseen the immense difficulty he would have in getting to grips with the Ducati GP7. Since making the switch from Honda, Melandri has floundered near the back of the field during testing, only managing to stay ahead of the satellite Alice...

Assuming he would like to reup with Honda,which at this point is debatable considering his teammate and the turd bike itself.What would he have to do in Honda's eyes,or what would Honda have to do in his eyes to stay together.Is it beat Pedrosa,win the title,beat all the Honda's,finish in top...

Anyone go at Mallory Park? Brilliant day. There was some racer with one arm on a kawasaki! Cal Crutchlow, Jenny someone, Tommy Haydon, Micheal Rutter, Kenny Gilbertson, Niall MacKenzie (for his son) and Chris Walker and many others were there. Brilliant day. Top quality.

A interesting note that during post-race testing at Brno - Stoner went out (on race tires) and broke the 990cc record on his 800cc Duc. Burgess said later " I hope Ducati set their benchmark very high at the beginning and left no room to improve, because they tried to build the perfect bike and...
