Hopkins is confirmed for next round and I very much doubt will ride BSB and MotoGP if Bautista is not racing again for a while

Watched the 1st cuppla laps of 125, should just be a Spanish National championship - was bored...
Missed Moto2 - anygood? Moto GP - predictable result, rather boring tho... Starting to sound like you chunder |

I was pretty surprised that little Bradl could run away that good and I didn't expect that he could hold his act together that good. Being fast in practice and quali is one thing but proving that in the race a whole different ballgame. The same goes for Sandro Cortese in the 125cc.

Shame really, rather dull races as usual.
125 is going to be utterly pointless to watch on tracks like this. Moto2 was OK I guess, but no one likes runaways. And Bradl is the best at being quick on the straight, always has been so no suprose there. GP was actually fairly decent, fair play to lorenzo, that was a good ride as was |Rossi's on the Duke a nd Simoncelli impressed, Dovi mis going to have to work hard to keep his ride. As for Cal, he will be anoyed he couldnt keep with Edwards, he got a great start and then fell away, that will nark him mightily I know! But would rather be him than Barbera, dropping like stone on a missile, oh dear |

Hmm. I recorded it so I could whizz through it. I don't know the answer to make it more exciting but big tracks with long straights don't do it for me.
On the other hand TV coverage can never be as good as actually being there to sample the atmosphere and speed. |

I actually wasn't disappointed with the race. Sure, it wasn't a great race, but it wasn't awful either. I was sure Stoner would clear off after his first pass on Pedrosa, but Dani surprised me and came back. Stoner’s next pass and subsequent lap were very convincing. Dani blames arm pump…
As for the rest, I thought Lorenzo did himself proud. Spies was awful really. Even though he didn’t have Jorge’s pace, he gave all chance away at the start. I think that was about as good as Rossi could have done. Maybe a 6th, but not really more. Barbera’s decline was predictable. He can’t run the pace because all he does in practice is look for tows for fast laps! Thought Crutchlow did a fair race. But he needs to beat Edwards. I’ll give him a pass on that for a few races though. |
