MotoGP 2013

Yeah shame about CAL think he went in hot like the others on that corner. Will give the race a 6/10 from a spectator point of view. Well done to Smith a nice ride from him he seems to settling in a little better now but is still far off the pace i would expect more from a rookie on the the Tech 3 though.

I dont know if its me, but these days they all seem to be going on about tyres in the past im sure they lasted longer and gave more grip.

(cant stand lorrenzo tbh dull as dishwater, but hats off to him for sharing his podium with his down syndrome friend. (cool helmet she made as well)

I have been watching races since the 70's and they have always moaned about the tyres.
smith is doing good, remember he's on a bike made up of all the old spares and if it wasn't for MM we would be saying smith is doing great as a rookie, he beat dovi in a fair fight yesterday.

today will be interesting with the tests, Suzuki testing with the others, just a pity its with the crasher DE PUNIET, I really cant see them learning anything with him
pic of there new test colours, does look good

todays test times
Suzuki did really well all things coincided, but they really need a better rider to see its true potential as ESPARGARO on his CRT was faster.
smith time was done in the morning as he didn't do the full test as he went to hospital to have his finger op

To be fair thats pretty good, I was expecting them to be over a second off the pace, and with a few more years development they should hopefully be able to shave off a few hundreds and be in there with Tech 3/Ducati.
They cant expect to be up there straight away with Honda/Yamaha with the amount of money they have poured into development over the last few years.
If they got Cal to help develop it though..... :D
 
Come the end of this season and MOTO GP is dead in the UK, due to the TV deal, so i couldn't care less about them coming back a sad state of affairs in itself but thats the way i feel about it. Will follow it till the end of this season then im done (yes i know its mean and hypocritical but i want MOTO GP to fall on it arse)

Going to try and cover some more road racing and the BSB side of things, and the superstock, supersport racing which i am enjoying more and more.

Back on track the bike does look good but as you say they need a better rider on it, but im sure they know what there doing. Not a great lover of Suzis in general. All because they priced me out of getting a RGV250 when i was younger and will never forgive that and i was only 19 and pay was not so good then :)
