MOTOGP » Qatar MotoGP - Friday practice times.

So it's too soon to predict anything other than stoner winning? Pretty stupid comment but if thats your opinion fair enough, if you watched the end of the session you'll see how close rossi and stoner are around a lap, if your gonna use predictions, well stoner was 7tenths in front of rossi at laguna and who won then? It's still 50/50 i think, yeah i think stoner is favourite he has a pretty good record at this track, but who knows what the conditions are gonna be like and how stoner's 'wrist problems' will actually go when it comes to a full race distance with 100% pressure from whoever's behind him, we've seen what happens when rossi is behind and settles in to his race groove haven't we

Also yeah, very impressed with the flying finn. He's showing some real promise of taming the ducati, i bet hayden's already wondering where he's gonna be riding next season, i mean lets face it, ducati aren't shy of shipping out a rider that isn't performing. Roll on sunday!

Well i think it's actually a lot closer than it looks.. When they posted the runs at the end of the session, stoner has one fast lap, but then the rest of the laps are around the same time rossi was doing, so hopefully it bodes well for sunday's race. I think stoner's favourite, but i don't think the gap is as big as expected, hopefully rossi and the crew will get the last part of the track sorted tomorrow and the rest of the guys will close up. Great to have motogp back, although it's a shame they aren't getting the set up time they used to, even though you couldn't watch the sessions, was still interesting to see how they were going and gave chance for the newer riders to find set up.

MOTOGP » Stoner: We were too confident last year

One minute it's the bike, then it's his wrist, now they were too confident. Stoner looks very fast, but last season he pretty much topped the time sheets everywhere and how many race wins did he come away with...6 or 7? Laguna Seca, Brno and Misano, were all perfect examples of what happens to him when he gets put under pressure, ok it took some amazing riding from Rossi, but it show's he has a weakness, i don't think it's something that'll fixed by a good winter testing, also who know's how hard Rossi was pushing throughout the tests. Nothing away from stoner, he's lightning fast, but lets not get ahead of ourselves and say he's going to walk away with the championship. Roll on Sunday!

Lorenzo's banged in 57 laps! That's pretty impressive, 10 more than hayden who is usually the work horse. I dunno about anyone else, but i can't wait to see the bikes on tv tomorrow, i think its gonna be between rossi and stoner for the car, roll on the first race!

Just as i post that, stoner goes fastest with a 1.40.586

MOTOGP » Jerez MotoGP test times - Saturday 2pm.

1. Rossi - 1.40.840 2. Edwards - 1.40.850 3. Vermulen - 1.41.165 4. Stoner - 1.41.417 5. Lorenzo - 1.41.597 6. Caparossi - 1.41.676 Rossi and Edwards seem to be going faster and faster, Stoner is doing the usual burst of 3-4 laps then coming in, although saying that, no one has done a really long run of laps, Rossi's longest is 7. It's very close but they're way off the fastest times from 2008, the track is probably still improving after the rain this morning.. COME ON ROSSI!!!

MOTOGP » FIM urged to make MotoGP changes.

To be fair, things can't get worse at the moment.. A possible 17 bikes on the grid in the pinnacle of motorbike racing...just doesn't seem right to me, at the same time, this is a prototype sport with development being the key...also it is interesting to see what each team can produce, the perfect example being ducati in 2007.. Seems at the moment were stuck between a rock and a hard place, we all want more bikes on the grid and at the same time we want to keep the production side of things the way they are... What about riders taking a paycut? Team managers, technicians. I'm just hoping that this time next year were not looking at the end of motogp and something has been sorted
