MOTOGP » Preview – Chinese Grand Prix

Zoom: you can watch it live at motogp.com...

Zoom I think the BBC broadcast it live on their web site last race... check and see... I can't be arrsed to look so try BBC.co.uk

Very interesting inteviews with Jeremy Burgess about Bridgestones and Lorenzo's manager on electronics and how much easier they make the bikes in MCN this week... Anyone read it?

I did. Burgess is full of confidence.

Above all Morgue, he's having fun! Good to see it hasn't just turned into a stress-filled job for Rossi's team...

Did you also read the article on the Dutch motorcyclist "skidding" through a radar trap at 137 km/h?

These Dutch, they'll do anything to avoid paying a ticket

lol, no I didn't read that.

Zoom I believe it's on BBC1 on sunday morning around the 7.00am time....

I bet the guys at the speed camera department stubbed their spliffs out after seeing this one... LOL

I must agree that Ace and MC burr up quickly and their comments are a bit over the top towards Rossi, they like Casey are a bit grumpy and probably for the same reason.
But why would Casey be grumpy? Consider this, while we all agree to compare riders is all but impossible unless they are using the same equipment this we can't do for Rossi (different tyre) this year but Casey has dominated his team mates since coming to Ducati and not just by a little bit!
The thing is rather than accept that his great skill has anything to do with it we are besieged with comments that it's all the bike/TC/tyres/electronics/luck or someone else's setup or development..cont

it's almost as if he gets on the bike hits the go button and hangs on sipping tea and eating scones while the job is done for him, somehow he's the only one on a Ducati that presses the go button correctly??
In contrast if anyone on the grid does anything good it is somehow attributed to Rossi – using his setups, Honda are fast because of when he was there, the team mate is fast because he copies from Rossi - any subsequent failures of Rossi are attributed to someone else (the best one yet is Michelin made him bad tyres last year because of a T shirt he wore upset them!!! I bet you think WWE is real too)…coNT
