MOTOGP » McWilliams, Laverty, Redding et al. ride FTR Moto2.

Redding and Gowland would be a decent line-up for FTR next season. I think Gino should go to BSS or WSS to learn more racecraft after his cracking season. McWilliams rode an RC8 to a decent finish behind Rea, Pitt, Lowry and some natives at the Kings Of Wanneroo meeting, as well as racing on the continent this season. Any input from him can only be good news for the team. What's Arne Tode doing riding a motorcycle? After wiping out a half-dozen riders (and breaking Tommy Hill's leg) at Nurburgring last season, that f**ker should never race again.

BSB » Tommy Hill signs for Worx Crescent Suzuki.

Hill and Easton will be at it like cat and dog next season. Hopefully Bridewell will be signed up by a decent team too - maybe even Hydrex?

MOTOGP » Last lap deja vu at Valencia

Six podiums on the bounce to finish off the season - first Brit to do that since 1972 by my searching on Wikipedia. Bradley will be World Champ next season and the only person who can properly challenge him is Espargaro I reckon. Iannone's too tempramental and Terol and Corsi can't seem to string the results together. Would be nice to see Webb fighting for podiums too on the Jack and Jones bike after some torrid luck on that DeGraaf ride. There's no shame losing to Simon. Anyone who can back a 125 in like he can obviously has something pretty special. Just like that start and first few laps to break the rest of the field in Sunday's race. Best get to the bookies and put some cash on Brad!

MOTOGP » 'Grid strategy' blamed for Stoner warm-up lap disaster.

So, no one can remember Lorenzo binning it on his out lap? Giver Stoner a break. This thread is typical of all the sycophantic Rossi fans out there.

BSB » Brookes reviews 2010 options

From what i've seen and heard from Josh in person, his arrogance is one of the main factors limiting him from being liked by the majority of BSB followers... Unless Camier is the subject of the discussion, Brookes will not make any complimentary comments about other riders. Why can't he be a nice bloke like Bayliss, Corser, Richards, McConnell, O'Halloran and Muggeridge. They don't fulfil the Aussie stereotype that seem people seem to expect...

MOTOGP » Ducati promotes Guareschi to MotoGP team manager

Check out those mutton chops! What's wrong with Livio Suppo? It's not like he's not been getting results out of the team is it?

MOTOGP » FTR doubles up for final 2009 Spanish Moto2 races

I like it - it looks like some a supermono. Hope Gowla can get a decent result and impress the team.

WSBK » Returnee Neukirchner samples new surroundings

Rob's usually pretty spot on with his comments, but that one is pretty daft. Max is a good rider and has results to show. He was running well until that Ducati came in and shattered his leg at Monza. I hope Max will be up there with Johnny, showing the white and green Ten Kate colours up front at every race of every round. He's shown some half decent pace for the first time on a new bike, but he's got plenty more time to put in even more training to get himself in top condition.

MOTOGP » So close... yet so far

Two more impressive rides and five podiums on the bounce. Nothing wrong in that or being beaten by Simon, who's got years of experience more than you. Every year has been an improvement, but this year has shown ever-widening elbows and less race crashes, plus the ability to show dumb Europeans like Iannone exactly how to do it! Good luck for Valencia squire, let's hope you can out-do Julian at his home race!

WSBK » Corser: BMW is capable of a podium

Corser is the best option for BMW - he can develop a bike like nobody else, although I'm not sure Reuben should be with him next season - as much as I like the guy, he needs to be on top machinery like the Duke to be up there. Hopefully he'll get some luck next season after two majorly unlucky breaks (literally.) I think the S1000 will get some trick bits and do better than this season. I think a podium's a realistic option for them, as long as the tires don't go to pot, which seems to happen quite often after some decent starts...
