MOTOGP » Jorge Lorenzo will try to race.

Oh man, he needs to calm down and just collect some points. Would suck if he fails to finish this race with another crash. Colin Edwards is my dark horse pick for this race, you heard it here first folks.

MOTOGP » Rossi tests 'long life' engine, electronics and tyres.

While I'm sure the engines are expensive it's not the number of engines which raises costs but the R&D behind them. Fact is that putting another requirement (spec) in place will only force more R&D and expenses into an already ridiculously expensive chamnpionship. I'd really love to see a cost breakdown for the non factory teams, I bet the cost savings where Dorna can help will be immediately apparent to a retard.

MOTOGP » Dovizioso misses out - again!

LOL, not sure what you guys are smoking saying he's not agressive enough. Check the championship standings, he's ahead of his teamate so he is technically the #1 repsol rider. He's doing the right thing keeping it upright and finishing the race at this stage, the wins will come in time as he gets more experience. Stoner rode a hell of a race and Dovi couldn't challenge Lorenzo or Rossi on this day. 4th is great.

MOTOGP » Pedrosa escapes further injury.

Sucks for him, I really cringed when I saw him fall. It's not that the fall was actually really bad (in comparisons to the flying cat antics of Lorenzo last season) but it's the fact he was already injured and didn't get up after he came to rest. I really like this guy but he's pushing too hard on a Honda that's not built very well. Get better soon Pedrobot, we all like watching you challenge for wins even if you fail to smile at the end!

MOTOGP » Rossi: We need to work differently.

Finishing 16th at Le Mans had everything to do with him making 2 mistakes (the one which caused the crash and the 2nd one which caused the extra ridethrough penalty.) How is working differently with Yamaha going to change any of this? Seems like a really lame article to me, but thanks for trying crash.net!

MOTOGP » Yamaha teams impressed by 'all new' M1.

Damo is correct, the Yamaha was indeed the best bike on the grid, maybe in contention with the Honda. Just because it wasn't the fastest in terms of top speed doesn't mean it wasn't the best for MotoGP racing. If you take out the Rossi factor please take out the Stoner and Pedrosa factors then compare which manufacturer scored the most points. Yamaha and Honda were consistently better than Ducati in 2008.

MOTOGP » Aspar to maintain Kawasaki presence?

MotoGP started feeling rotten for me the moment Biaggi got sacked. Love or hate the guy he provided a lot of entertainment and THIS was the only class he belonged in. I know HRC has clout but...meh whatever. IMO this might really be the end of motoGP, all it would take is for Rossi to switch to WSB and you can start putting dirt on top of the casket. I'm sad about all this, sad to see Kwaks go, and I don't think Aspar will turn the Kwaks around even if this goes through.

MOTOGP » Specifications for 'Moto2' revealed.

This is a sad thing... RIP 250cc championship. I'll not watch any of this mess. The rules/restrictions are dumb, they fly into the face of everything that MotoGP was supposed to stand for. My personal opinions anyways.

MOTOGP » Rossi 'back to work'.

Rossi hasn't been a great qualifier historically, he usually manages to nail it for the race though. I think this season we saw a transition halfway through where he did begin putting huge importance on qualifying on the front row. The days of him starting in 3rd or 4th row and winning are probably gone now and he knows this. However, everyone now knows that if Rossi starts on the front row it's good enough for him after Laguna. These practices showcase their best times, the race pace is what's important. Lets wait and see how the race goes but I doubt Rossi will let anyone win just because he's already clinched the 08 championship and doesn't have to push hard anymore.

MOTOGP » Stoner: Speed alone isn't enough.

This talk of percentages is just stupid, but the concept is not. You always want to leave some room for error because errors happen. The way the Ducati is always sliding into and esp out of every corner makes you wonder how close they are to that edge where there is no room for error. It could be that Stoner is a much better rider than I'm giving him credit for and Melandri is also pointing to the same fact after his abysmal switch to Ducati. For those who think Speed is all important you can look at what Nicky did in 2006 and IMO he deserved that championship very much. Consistency is a huge part and frankly this is all Rossi did this season, apply pressure, podium and ...
