MOTOGP » As bad as it gets for Kawasaki.

Here's a quote from Hopkins, found in Mark Neale's MotoGP documentary "Faster", talking about the paddock girls: "I just love the p**sy man!"

MOTOGP » Misano - Qualifying times.

If Lorenzo can be as fast in the race as he showed in practice then he might be useful to Rossi, especially if he turns first. The bike world however isn't renowned for team tactics as we've been shown so many times (Pedrosa- Hayden in 2006, Capirossi-Stoner in 2007, Rossi-Lorenzo in 2008). The series ethos is truly "every man for himself".

MOTOGP » Rossi seeks speed for home showdown.

Good comment non-plussed. Next year will be better for Rossi, especially compared with the start of the current season where he was completely lost as to how the Bridgestones work.

MOTOGP » Stoner's wrist holds for seventh pole.

Yup, indeed you have. There's a public saying in my country that goes "The apple falls under the apple tree".

MOTOGP » Misano - Qualifying times.

Lorenzo might very well interfere with the usual duo tommorrow. Imagine Lorenzo turning in first...

MOTOGP » Stoner re-opens broken bone.

Saran, the difference is counted only at the speed trap, it doesn't mean the bikes have this difference all along the straight. There could be a case where a machine accelerates better out of the final turn but another bike develops more kph at the end of it so the time they take to cover the straight might be similar. So it's very very difficult to make calculations about how much ground the slower bike will lose over the faster without telemetry data on the full length of the straight (and then you'd need college grade mathematics to calculate it).

MOTOGP » Stoner re-opens broken bone.

Come on guys, you don't need to slag off Stoner so much, don't become like some of his fans. I don't believe this injury is fake in the tiniest bit, since he had x-rays made out of it and there were other, "neutral" people taking evidence of his condition.

MOTOGP » San Marino Grand Prix - Preview.

Hmmm... seems you have a point here. Yes it's more like a 2-wheeled rally rather than a "race". Going as fast as you can without ever knowing how your rivals are doing is indeed quite different to actually being able to see them. Well OK, I admit it is a different kind of discipline then. I just can't bear the normality in which people are lost there. That video by Hislop had been almost haunting me for months. It was unreal...

MOTOGP » New chassis sends Suzuki forwards.

Go Loris!

MOTOGP » Stoner re-opens broken bone.

I had broken my left scaphoid (amongst others) about two years ago. I was told by the doctors that it is a particularly nasty type of brake because this tiny bone is fed with blood only from one side, so if it's broken half of it receives no blood at all. This means it heals very difficult, if it heals at all. Eventually they inserted a screw in it which will never be removed. At least now I have an armored scaphoid! Stoner's incident proved the doctors right. What a pitty, he's the only one capable of fighting with Rossi...
