Not quite sure where to put moto GP subjects, so have opened a thread here.
Casey Stoner was again in a class of his own today at Brno. How does he do it?
The Ducati team manager was asked this question on Tv. His answer: "We have 2 works bikes and 2 works assisted bikes. Stoners has nothing the other 3 don't, so I don't know how to answer. Perhaps it's Casey that's making the difference."
Do you guys follow the motorcycle scene?
-
That's a simple answer for you there JB........he is Australian.......

I watch MotoGP, but I don't know the inner details of that series well enough to offer an opinion about why Casey is doing so well. (And as a Valentino Rossi supporter, I would love to know why he's struggling to score points at this time!)
-
Ali, it's cos' that old Ducati has so much power, it leaves Rossi standing, even though I think Rossi's the better rider.
-
From what I've seen, Ducati had by far the best bikes out there this year, and Stoner is by far their best rider. I think he may be on a par with Rossi. Rossi seems to be a bit off hid game this year.
We may have another great rivalry in the making here. It should make for some great racing over the next few years. :yahoo:

Trouble is Cos I hardly ever get the chance to watch MotoGp

I thought this was a F1 site?

Thousand apologies, but that's why I opened the thread as I did.
If admin would like it moved to a more suitable location I have no problem with that, but I'm sure there are plenty of moto GP followers here, who would like to discuss the subject.
Half a dozen replies in less than 24 hours confirms this.
-
Thanks John Bull for the reply.
If that is the case and you are getting more replys for Gp rather than Grand Prix,i guess i better find another site,which caters for F1

To save any arguments or dummy throwing would'nt it be easier to discuss motogp on Off Topic
IAN

Yes Ian,but that invite the subject into a F1 site.
Wizard would love it for his Shop!

I know Stig, but cast your mind back to last year when it all started, we were all on here of a night and the posts were flying everywhere and about everything (loads of f1) but also the strings were so diverse, one subject led to another. It was great fun !
Ian

Yes Ian guided by you...........Long time ago.
Stig.

Does seem a long time ago Stig, your right, was good tho'. :good:

I'm sorry if i've upset people by talking Moto Gp.
The greatest thing about this site has been the fact that we have always been able to talk freely. We constantly go off topic and nobody seems to mind. On the contrary everybody joins in. We can be talking about the bore and stroke of a Cosworth DFV one moment and move to the latest pit babe on our left the next. That's what it's all about. However if other users, and the admin wish me to remove the references to Moto Gp I will gladly do so.
I'm too old to be arguing about such trivialities.

your post was fine John,that's what makes it fun,getting
off topic and eventually returning to the original topic :good:

I was glad to see the MotoGP topic started as it's something my son is into and I need to know more about it. But the Stig has a point - it would be better if we could keep the F1 boards just for F1 since this is a site primarily dedicated to F1. I also know how difficult it was for John to decide where to put his post, however. There was one that I posted that didn't seem to fit anywhere so I posted it in the F1 area (can't remember which particular board).
Perhaps we should establish a convention of using the off topic boards more often - they are there for this express purpose, after all. We tend to think they won't be noticed way down there but most people either use the Latest Posts facility or run down the right hand column looking for posts added Today. Everything gets noticed that way and there remains at least some order in the layout.
-
Maybe the wiz could give us another topic under everything else
called other forms of racing where we could post MotoGP,Indy Car,etc
-
I really had no idea my mention of Moto GP was going to cause so much "Rumpus".
:-[
The only reason I put it where I did was simply that I could not think of an appropriate alternative place at the time. In fact I started off my post by saying so. Here's a copy and paste of my first para.
Not quite sure where to put moto GP subjects, so have opened a thread here.
I realise that a number of us here follow Moto GP, just as there are many that follow the numerous other disciplines of motorsport and motorcycle sport, so perhaps Dare's suggestion that "The WIZ" introduces another section for different disciplines isn't such a bad idea after all. Two brownie points for that, Dare! ;)
Sorry if I've upset Stig, and anybody else for that matter, but let me close by answering one of his comments. He wrote to the effect that he would have to find another F1 Forum.
I think he'll have great difficulty finding one that's even half as good as this one. I'm sure most of you will agree. :good:
-
Your wish is my command guys.
Please feel free to use this board for ANY sport that takes your fancy.
-
Wow Wiz......that service is almost as quick as my day job service.... hahaha.... nice work.....it's great that we have such a good Administrator that allows us to have input on how the site can develop....
Great work Wiz
Rom :good:
-
Good idea for the "Other Sports" section, wiz! :good:
Now there's a place for all of you folk from across the pond to talk about soccer, I mean, football. :P
We've had some fun threads here in the past about movies, records, Dr. Who........
Please remember, most of us are at an age where our minds start to drift.
Besides, MotoGP is all we have left here in the US.
-
No upset here JB, like I said, alas I don't get to see much 2 wheeled sport but I love it as well, motogp and superbikes, post on as you like
-
WOW Wiz, sorry I've put you through so much hassle.
This is super. GP Wiz gets better all the time.
