Great race. Hoping spies does well the rest of the season.

Great race. Psyched to see Hayden up near the front battling and Spies doing well.

[Chippertheripper]

A great start to the season. I'd like to see how stoner assed out.

I was hoping to hear same - looked like he might have between the bike and wall at a real fast pace


This season's racing is off to best start in a long time. Looks like I'm staying up for Moto2 at 11:00 and getting up at 5 for am meetings

Grid size of 41 bikes in moto2. Damn that's a lot of bikes on the track.

uber competitive but Its like watching IROC, all on same bike. would be nice to have seperate manufactureres beyond chasis

Ok, Rossi's leg dangle is getting a WEEEE bit excessive. But holy fuck what a race. Id expect that kind of push from Rossi before lorenzo. And way to go Nicky, 4th aint too shabby.

agreeeeeeeed

[CMG241]

and check what I said about Mot02 needing diff bikes - it is right up there with MotoGP excitement. Really nice to see Kenny Noyes riding like he hates everyone around him. his aggressive ride style is outstanding to watch.

[DucDave]

Seriously....is this the thread where we can talk about what already happened? Little paranoid with everyone dumping on someone who says ANYTHING ANYWHERE...

"MotoGP race was held yesterday."

"AHHHH....SPOILER....HANG THE BASTARD AND DELETE THE THREAD..." :

(This morning's MotoGP was a yawner except for about 45 seconds on the last lap...)

[CMG241]

Anyone else getting concerned with how much commentary being made at beginning, end and coming out of commercials by Speeds own Greg Kramer? hope its not a primer for next year listening to him calling the whole race -

and Pedrosa won!!! there you go Dave

I'm a little wary of it, but I think they're just trying to make sure the Americans get mentioned, lead the US audience by the hand a little more. And at least it's not Ralph Sheheen - I want to shoot the TV every time he opens his mouth. He should be announcing mud wrestling or something equivalent, he's even too annoying for Nascar.

[Paul_E_D]

motogp.com FTW! Stoner put some strong moves in on that last lap.

Hell yeah. Too bad to see Nicky get a bad start but way to go Spies. It would be nice to see him on factory machinery. And it would be nice to see Ducati put a better motor in their bikes. Seems that they are down on bottom end and don't have the top end advantage they have in the past.

with all the talk about Rossi going to Ducati / Stoner to Honda we haven't heard much talk about Rossi's spot with Yamaha - wouldn't it be nice to see our very own Ben Spies on that bike?? gotta think Yamaha wants to keep him in the family in a big way

I don't know the state of his contract, but you have to think with his results this year and his past results in other series that Yamaha may not be the only factory team that may be talking to Spies. I would really like to see the Rossi/Ducati marriage happen. Not only would it be fun to watch him on another new bike, but I'd like to see Nicky on a well-developed machine and Rossi is very well-known for his testing and development work.

[Pittenger5]

Wow, the Moto2 race was a shitshow from all aspects.

[DucDave]

Damn...had the DVR set to record. Went to watch the race last night. Because of the restart, I didn't catch the last 15 laps!

Interesting that the Wall Street Journal Blog had this...

Damn...sound's like the last few laps with Stoner and Rossi were the real show!!!

Isn't there a sticky for spoilers at the top?

yup. it says to put the word "spoiler" in the title. which he did...

back on topic - it was an awesome last few laps. rossi must've laughed a little when stoner got him where he (rossi) did gibernau a few years back.
