    Don't know what your thoughts are but if it gets any more boring i won't be even recording it .It now looks like the BSB is the most exciting racing in the world with the WSB not far behind .Rossi or no Rossi it really is a non event!.:(

    Have to agree with you, after a day full of exciting and entertaining racing in BSB, WSB (when the rain held off ) Moto2 and 3 the motogp is becoming a bit of a lame duck so much so that i fell asleep watching it. The last 8 lap dash at Oulton was fantastic and the tussle for 1st 2nd and 3rd in the last Supersport race was breathtaking. ( Sam Warren sideways at druids................WTF...... )

    Yeh I agree aswell. Its good seeing Cal doing well and the occasional god like skills from stoner but thats it. The 8 lap race at AP was cracking, much more entertaining.

    Its just a total waste of time. the electronics have taken over so much that your not even watching the riders racing anymore. its become to expensive and need to have a level playing field so they are all using crt spec machines.

    Yep it was boring as far as I am concerned. Great to see Cal doing so well but Stoner and the Honda seem very well suited. Lorenzo and Pedrosa may take a few races off him on the more trickier tracks where where out and out power aren't a key factor but it does look like Stoner just has to stay on track and it's his.

    Like last year, I am enjoying Moto 2 more, if their two top lads come into Moto GP next year it just might shake it up a little.

    BSB is great and so is WSB, MotoGP could well be a bit farther down the slippery slope than they think.

    i guess im a little different i could watch 27 laps of Stoner riding by himself , watching the commitment and control he has on a bike is awesome . Marc Marquez is in that type of league also brilliant to watch .
    yes its great watching them dicing and carving each other up but watching these guys level of skill is enough for me to keep tuning in to every session .

    people talk about electronics yes it has taken it to a different level but take them away and guess who would win with even a bigger margin Stoner he runs the least electronics of anyone out there so without them he will be even further in front

    Gotta agree with Shane's really, I can watch Stoner rag a bike around all day (and he does rag every bike he rides)

    I think personally they should drop the electronics as that'll just highlight his skills even more although he will probably bugger off in to the sunset even quicker than he does now.

    The rest of the field is boring though as they're all so evenly matched and robotic in they're styles nothing ever really happened unless it's an overshoot on the brakes.

    Moto 2 though is great, I'm loving Marquez, luthi, redding all backing it in to corners week in week out, plenty more close racing

    :(Perhaps we all like to watch Stoner in slow motion and although he is the most annoying little prick in the world we would respect his ability to ride the bike and is a true world champion ,however the Thread is about general boredom watching the same old procession week in week out. Perhaps a split screen would be useful so we could focus on verious fights going on within the mid pack.One thing for sure there is nobody hanging about out there ,even Colin Edwards will be going through the motions hoping everybody falls off and he could win a race.!. Its not what we want i sit down to see racing (Irish road racing springs to mind) and not a Stoner masterclass.

    It's all about Moto2 now. BSB has always been the K9's cajones. Depth of talent in the field is immense. Hopefully Nori will get his mojo & we'll be back on planet Haga
