MOTOGP » Lorenzo wins wet Le Mans, Rossi second

Rain is not the great equalizer. It does however separate great wet riders vs mediocre wet riders. Good result for Rossi but he's a long way from coming back, he did after all get 3rd at Le Mans last year. Would have been nice to see a 5 way battle up front but Lorenzo was spectacular. Should, hopefully, go down to the wire between he and Stoner. Spies looked as if he no longer belongs with the elite, sad day for him. Rossi fans are still insufferable, jeez.

MOTOGP » Casey Stoner to retire from MotoGP!

With last years tragedy in mind it's not surprising that he would hang it up to spend time with his family. A sad day for the sport.

MOTOGP » Stoner tames chatter for MotoGP calendar sweep

I sincerely hope the other riders and teams get these 1,000s sorted out. I don't want to see Stoner winning every race with such ease. Having said that, it was another masterful ride by the Ausie.

MOTOGP » Ben Spies: Four or five big mistakes

Not looking good. With Jorge getting the most out of the bike and the Tech3 boys doing well too, Ben could be in trouble. As for the American's LAST hope, there are some seriously good racers coming up in the AMA right now.

MOTOGP » American one-two in damp Estoril MotoGP practice

Yes, the best thing to do for arm pump is to go out and run a bunch on laps on a damp track (insert sarcasm here). Could be an interesting race what with the variable conditions. Last weekend was quite exciting, at first. Hoping for a full race with 5 or 6 bikes fighting together up front.

MOTOGP » Stoner: We need to fix arm pump issue

True. But he might have 4 or 5 championships by then.

MOTOGP » Ben Spies apologises after ‘pathetic’ race

He has no confidence.

MOTOGP » Stoner: We need to fix arm pump issue

Casey always says we, even when referring to himself. Exercises might help? I wonder if they thought of that! The arm pump problem is well know to road racers. I very much doubt some club racer's routine would apply to this level of racing. They could also look into changing rider passion and where the levers are, but then your messing with the setup to solve a physical problem. It may be Casey's circulatory system isn't up to it. If your not getting enough oxygen into your blood to feed your muscles, then not much can be done. There is no easy fix sometimes.

MOTOGP » Poll: Can the Rossi/Ducati partnership work?

Rossi was been beaten by both Stoner and Lorenzo before his move to Ducati. Age may have caught up to him. He is still fast, but lacking in confidence. There may not be enough time for him or Ducati to recover for one more run.

MOTOGP » Ben Spies ready to 'deliver' at Jerez

I'm beginning to question Ben's level of commitment and motivation. Some of the things he says and some of the things does, or rather does not do, in preparing have me concerned. Comparing him to Pedro or Hayden, he does not seem to be working or fighting hard enough for it.
