First day of testing and rossi is struggling again.

Tis still very much a developing bike and onl the first test. But then the 1000's should suit Cal alot better. Whats more worrying is how much faster Hayden is than Rossi...

I think the big suprise is the ART team with De Puniet, though it is essentially the remnants of the Aprillia motogp effort...

It is a shame they don't show average lap times, given the amount of laps that Lorenzo and Spies tend to do compared to Stoner, that could be interesting.

According to BSN, Cal is preferring thr riding style and power delivery of the 1000 over the 800, supposedly his weight and size are also less of a handicap on the more powerful bike.

Oh and Rossi is still having front end grip issues, more concerning though is hayden is constantly ahead on the times, does this mean he's more prepared to ride around the problems as Stoner used to?

Ha ha, also is it wrong that I'm watching lots of Moto gp DVD's and getting far too excited about the start of the new season?? I really need to get out more

Bleh, MotoGP is boring. I hope that Moto3, is as awesome as Moto2 was last season. Then theres WSB and BSB, both totally awesome.

This is racing:

Last few laps in the very last race of the year, just a few points between them. Winner takes all.

remeber that!!! even the ex got excited during that race...
yeah, although that's not the norm in any class, Superbikes is where it's at. GP isnt right... how can it be?? When was the last time we had season long scraps or regular overtakes even??? And they wonder why sponsorship's hard to come by. BSB will be a good model to watch with the lack of electronics. Even WSB migt follow, lets face it, the top riders will still be at the front on the better machines.

Using the same V4 engine Max is using in WSBK
