Moto GP

It's looking like we're in for a great season. Rossi is back on a Yamaha and yes, he's still got it. Third on final day's testing at Sepang behind teammate Lorenzo and Pedrosa, who lead the times on the Repsol Honda. Almost more exciting is that Pedrosa's rookie teammate Marquez is instantly quick too!

There's a few 'aliens' on the grid this year.

Judging from the number of replies to my last post (0), I assume no one else cares about MotoGP. Surely not, say it ain't so!!!  Fortunately I'm quite happy with just my own company, sad but true.    

One hour to go...... Rossi for podium? Crutchlow for podium??? Marquez for a win??? Or will Lorenzo just walk to gold... Can't wait.

Sorry, Vintly. I must have missed the previous post. As a Ducati fan, I'm hoping for Dovizioso. That said, the Yamahas look like they might be the pick of the field.

I have set the PVR to record the entire season starting tonight. 

I will be going to one of the races this year with my son, I'm just not sure which one.

Sorry Vintly I am very fond of The Doctor, was busy so missed your post. I will try to accommodate as much as possible

[vintly]

Woohoo, feel much better now.

Sort of lost interest when the 2 strokes went away. Now they change the rules every couple of years with a general trend toward SBK. So I usually just watch SBK.

Good scrap in moto2, Redding just couldn't do it.

There's plenty of us with you Vintly.
Some of us just happenned to be watching BSB and then the support races in MotoGP.   

C'mon Cal!

I didn't dare say anything in case I missed it like I accidentally did Doctor Who yesterday 

Fortunately I remembered in time and the MotoGP was quite a treat. At least, when the camera direction wasn't switching to pit garages in the middle of overtakes (and for those wondering, Nicole Scherzinger was absent, so that wasn't the reason).

As a Rossi fan, I was delighted to see the Doctor was back in the house, overtaking people with verve and putting absolutely everything into getting the best position possible. My Pedrosa-supporting friend's going to be miserable though

[vintly]

Great recovery from Rossi and an ominous start from Lorenzo, should be interesting to see how they battle through the season. F1 and MotoGP are back, the year has finally begun.

Another big plus is that we can watch the WHOLE season on BBC.

It doesn't look good for Nicky & Ducati.

This is the Rossi that got me hooked to motogp, this is the Doctor who make those absolutely brilliant overtakes and leaves you mesmerized, this is the Rossi I just simply can't refuse.
