    My mate just text me that Rossi dived down the pit lane then realised that his sat nav was set to avoid fast roads.

    Did anyone else notice how in all three races the American producer thought that during the overtakes it was more interesting to see the pit crew's reactions than the bikes going past each other?

    Yeah Rossi got lost in the infield somewhere then rejoined


    That was a SH!te race by the way. There was only going to be one outcome too so not surprising.

    I must admit I'm starting to lose heart in it a bit.

    Bloody hell, Giv', sometimes I think you're reading my mind, almost word for word in fact. There are times I wish I could word an even sided fair minded debate as well as you can, though. LOL

    What am I thinking now!?!

    Watching Casey demolish the rest of the pack is amazing, the way the guy rides the bike is incredible, I could just watch him on his own all day long, Tyres played a major part in the race today with most guys not lasting more than ten laps before they were knackered

    You're right, mate, 100%. But I've got to agree with Giv' about the bloke though. He's like Nicole Kidman, you can't help but appreciate a job really well done but she's just...creepy.

    I'm glad you said that, my mate is WSB mad and bigs it up constantly, but I must zone out when it's on cos I never remember any of the bits he mentions.

    They'd never all fit on an R6 ;)
    You could however, give each one his own CBR600 and see how they get on.........Oh wait a minute.

    Well fuck knows what's going on with Rossi, fuck knows what's going on with Ducati, fuck knows what happened to all the riders that were on a Ducati that all seemed to either crash or just not finish for one reason or another and for the last "fuck knows" how BORED was I with this race. In my view and its just my view but Stoner is just a twat but I love the way he rides that bike, he is showing everyone up out there, I hate it that Rossi is in the condition he is in with regards what he is normally capable of doing on a bike its just frustrating to watch him struggle. I as flatstickhrc will know all to well am not the greatest fan of Lorenzo but I soooo want him to bring the fight to Stoner and have a faring bashing ride. Has anyone else noticed that Lorenzo seems to take it lying down a little I mean that in a good way if that's possible. I know it might be that Stoner and the Honda are just that much faster but Lorenzo has a way of getting pissed off and coming after you but im just not seeing it. Dani, well it showed that Stoner had to work that hard to stay in front of him who was not to far behind, anything less from Stoner and Dani would of been there....I think!! :)

    I really can't wait for the change next year and I hope, I just hope the field gets brought closer together.

    I'm pretty much with you all the way, there Dev', Super slo mo was invented for Stoner. How does that boy stay on it! But...he irritates me. Don't ask me to explain it, he just does. I even backed him when he was ill. I think he handled it brilliantly, get away, work the problem. And boy, did it work. But... I don't like him (although I believe he speaks highly of me).

    I'm sure this is over simplifying, but a mate of mine did slur at me over a few beers at the end of last season "Let's see how Lorenzo get's on developing his own bike".

    You can't take it away from them though, they're all shit hot, really, but it's just not that interesting to watch at the moment. I gave up on F1 when the amount of time the cars spent standing still became the deciding factor in who won the race. And listening to the commentators this year saying that the increased number of tyre stops had made the racing so much more exciting really winds me up. The stops make it more exciting! Perhaps they should introduce MOT's.

    Anyway, that was a rant. What I meant to say was, now MotoGP is starting to bore me, how long is it going to be before I start watching Golf!, or Football!...

    I need a drink.

    I know exactly what you mean kpone, I also backed him when he was ill, I stress the point that I think he is fantastic on that bike. I just don't like him at all.
    I will be interested in seeing how Lorenzo gets on with the Yamaha next year. What I can't stand much the same as you is the F1 but I just had a right old laugh at the idea of the MOT introduction. :)

    Anyway, lets see how the weekend goes.

    I'll join you on that drink bud. . .
