Anyone else watch?

Sat and watched the second half of the F1 earlier and nearly dozed off, flick over for the MotoGP and what a difference..

Rossi is still a racing God, what an overtake that was.

All that, and Suzi Perry's cleavage, stuff F1, bikes are still king for me :D
 
Not normally a bike fan, but just happened to flick this on. Wow, I'm glad I did, just so much better than the snore-fest that is F1 :cool:
 
Excelent race, very exciting at the end, good to see people battling for the win again.
The ducati just seemed a little slow on the top end for me tho. He said he had a problem with the clutch on corner entry, but it looked like the revs have been turned down abit.
I know Honda, Yamaha and Michelin have made progress but the ease of wich Danny passed Stoner on the straight just didn't look right to me.

Perhaps with all the talk of the races getting boring and rule changes, they decided to make the other bikes look more competitive.
They have a big enough points gap, and it would be nice for stoner to win the title in Philip Island.

Just hope the next races are more like this one, would be a great end to the season.
 
I did think the Ducati seemed a bit off pace compared to the usual, but isn't it the case of Honda and Yamaha improving than Ducati declining?
 
Ducati's strong point has been their top-end power, as soon as they get into the upper rev range, they would pull out a couple of bike lenghts on any straight/short straight.
I think ducati are using a new fairing for more agility, and the other teams have improved, but the honda looked as if it's gone from 5hp less to 5hp more in just a few weeks.
For me, i just think the Ducati was a lot slower than it should have been.

Its a Michelin circuit, Ducati weren't expecting much from that race.

Honda and Yamaha have improved but Stoner still has the title wrapped up by the looks of things :).
 
Stoner aparently had issues today with his slipper clutch disengaging when off the power, so he did a good job finnishing where he did.

Good to see Yamaha back on form with their new engine, a bit too late but looking ok for next year.
 
It was a very interesting race this afternoon I hardly blink when MotoGP is on, the last few laps were great, I am a honda fan myself but nevertheless an excellent race to be had by all! Nice to see rossi back on top form with his bike, I just hope it lasts, he did well to pass the slightly more powerful Honda machine! I think the tyres were a big let down today for Ducati as well as clutch problems.


Oh and for the record... Suzi is very sexy!
 
Only trouble with Suzi Perry is that you have to be able to Qualify in the Top Ten on a Moto GP bike to get a go :D

Rossi is God on a Bike & i am glad to see him winning again, He showed some nice respect to Colin as well dedicating the win to him :cool:
Good to see the Hondas up to speed as well. Moto GP has been tame up until recently compared to previous seasons but the last two races are back to how it should be :)
 
No comparison IMO F1 is over after the first bend yet, MotoGP and The Doctor leave you yearning for more. Great race today with plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Was a great race yesterday and good to see the 3 riders that were tipped at the start of the season actually showing it on track, Its a shame that Michelin/Honda/Yahama have been so far off the pace in the rest of the season as we would have seen some fantastic racing.

Lets just hope that Estoril wasn't a one off and that Pedrosa, Rossi and Stoner are competing in all of the last 5 race's.

Suzi Perry beats any female sports reporter hands down in my book :)

You're wasting your money - I have freeview and the BBC show the stroker classes too.
