WSBK » Race results (2) – Qatar.

Honda seems to have lost the plot in most motorsports categories,In Motogp they dont seem to have their act together with engines ( always their longsuit), a very late start in SBK and forgetable performances in FI. Maybe they are making so much money they dont need motorsport? Cheers.

WSBK » Bayliss takes early advantage.

Milly. What you say is true about Honda and the SP1/Sp2 both being special built Ducati beaters,the same as the RC30 and RC45, all built and sold at a loss to beat Ducati's twins. But ask yourself if you would like to see an all Japanese SBK and the possible loss of Ducati altogether as a manufacturer ? They were on the slide with sales until the 1098 even with Stoner winning in Motogp. Just my 2 cents worth. Cheers.

For all you technical genius's. A 4 cylinder motor will ALWAYS make more HP than an equal capacity twin, F1 use 2.4 litre V8's for a very good reason, when did you last see a 2.4 litre V8 in a road car? Even the Triumph SS bikes are allowed 675 cc against 600 4's. Cheers.

MOTOGP » Crash.net's Jerez test blog: Sunday.

I don't think Stoner ever had a full factory works Aprilia,or the BEST tires. Cheers.

MOTOGP » Final MotoGP entry list, no Team KR.

Maybe the top riders could take turns at winning races/championships Oh, and have acting lessons to "entertain" the sponsors . Cheers.

MOTOGP » Rossi red hot at Sepang.

Salty,please reconsider. As an old racer (and I don't consider myself a bighead) I know about the injuries and financial pain, although I never reached the bigtime I had some sucess and I'm proud but modest about my time in racing. PS. I LOVE speedway and am jealous of the poms being able to go to races weekly sadly it has all but died in Victoria except for mildura. Cheers

MOTOGP » Rossi reaches tax settlement?

Troy Bayliss is a Monaco resident as was Mick Doohan until recently. Minimising tax is legal and EVERYONE in business does it,getting stung for tax evasion is usually a ploy by tax inspectors to "even things up". Rossi is no more criminal than any other businessman( which is what he is). Cheers.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Better bike, better rider.

And if he won in 06 and 07 it would be Rossi 9 the rest 0 . How boring . Cheers.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Better bike, better rider.

I hate to spoil the Rossifest . Stoner went nearly half a second faster on race tires at Sepang 2 weeks ago, pre the PI tests and I'm sure he would be faster now. Cheers

MOTOGP » Stoner disappears on final day.

I've noticed the same things CA. He usually has a "rest" lap or 2 in most races , that and the slow late gridup would be fuel conservation efforts. I think Shell has developed a special fuel and oils for Ducati that gives some % fuel savings. Horsepower = fuel usage. Cheers.
