WSBK » Race results (1) – Qatar.

HHHEEEELLLPPPPP! Talk about torture! I am very very narked. Just spent about one and a half hours trying to watch the first race with this streaming video....which was more like a single frame for between 8 to 15 seconds then another single frame etc etc as a race fan I was getting pretty angry as i tried all kinds of things to make the vid play smoothly. Can i ask did anyone manage to save the video to their PC ...if so how? I even managed to get the direct link but my DL manager wont use it correctly. DL firefox and supposedly the best vid DL extension but no dice. AAArgh!! h**p://infrontsp.rd.llnwd.net/a1386/o16/Superbike/Losail/20080223_LOSAIL_SBK_RACE1_FR.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf

MOTOGP » More disappointment for Melandri.

i am getting worried already :(

MOTOGP » Yamaha 'watching Lorenzo carefully'.

one thing eurosport viewers always hear is randy mamola talking about moto gp riders 'picking the bike up' exiting corners. Max seemed to ride his moto gp bikes 250 style for ages until he finally began to 'pick the bike up'. Maybe Jorge is doing similar...carrying lots of corner speed into the turn rather than squaring it off and firing it out?

F1 » Hamilton suffers racist taunts in Barcelona.

They are idiots dealing at their own level. there are so many levels with Hamilton which they CAN'T pick fault with...they have to come out with the only thing they have left - racist slurs. a really well thought out line of arguement eh?

WSBK » Biaggi debut headlines 'Island test.

Yay. Not been to Max''s site for a while, nor read much WSBK stuff, so his Ducati ride is news to me. I wish him well.

MOTO-X » Dakar: KTM reacts to cancellation.

its a great pity. perhaps the organisers or participants should think about relocating. now i dont know much about geography but isn't there are other prts of the planet that are similar? the autralian outback? maybe some parts of N America (canyonlands and some of thse National Parks are breathtaking)? demanding terrain and a safer background.

MOTOGP » Stoner fastest on GP8 debut.

I dont think marco is doing too bad myself, afterall look at guareschi's time. Now i dont know for sure but i would have thought guareschi would have had prior of the gp8 being a duke test rider?

MOTOGP » Q&A: Nicky Hayden.

"Oh and just one more question for you nicky, why do you think little Dani won in valencia on the same bike and tyres that you and Pete Benson gave out about on friday practice and saturday qualifying?" If only it were that simple! I like Nicky's determination ( I like Max too but what a contrast with their attitudes towards an uncompetitive factory Honda ride!) and its been a bit depressing watching him going nowhere for most of the season. I hope to see him running top 5 regularly. The whole Michelin thing often gets me wondering how much of a scapegoat they are. I mean their history with Motogp is well known. Did the move from 2-strokes to 4-strokes leave them with no advantage??

MOTOGP » Rossi targets ton on happy hunting ground.

quick ref to the pop ups...I don't have any and only use windws XP popup blocker set to high. tbh was surprised the site had any as don't even get notification of any being blocked. As to Rossi...I really hope he has a good race. I think he probably needs a 'pick-me-up' and it would be nice to see him nail his 100th. he might leave for rallying or whatever but when he's on the pace he's a real terrier and is capable of great racecraft. I don't want the fire in his belly he has fro racing bikes go elsewhere!

MOTOGP » Stoner: Just unbelievable!

Simon Simon Simon, Get Eurosport free to air on analogue satellite (its what I watch in the UK). Then watch the 125's and 250's. I didn't have the chance to tape all 3 races on a 3 hour VHS tape...so I just set the video up for the 125 and 250. If you like good racing...ita all there (LOL if you ignore Lorenzo sometimes!)
