MOTOGP » Pedrosa targets victory on home ground

I expect Rossi to come out with no holds barred for this race. He's the WC and it doesn't matter if he bins it. So he can go after a win and be 1 more closer to Ago's record. I believe his intent will be to try and absolutely crush the field and Stoner in particular. Dani will finish ahead of Stoner only if Stoner crashes trying to catch or stay ahead of Rossi.

WSBK » Fabrizio feeling sorry for ‘winner’ Haga

1050cc ... Thxs for taking the time to post the clip on YouTube. Tardozzi is definitely upset. It's difficult to determine if he's upset with Duc losing the Title and-or with Fab. Would really hope an Italian lip reader would do some investigative work for us.

WSBK » Spies crowned World Superbike champion

Hey Nori fan Let's be clear. Spies had 25 pts stolen from by the famous Fab torpedo. Hagi lost 10 pts to Fab. Case 1: Spies stolen pts were out of his control. Case 2: Nori lost his pts because he couldn’t keep up to his teammate. Well within his control .. just race harder if want to be Champ and not have pts gift wrapped. Suck it up. Spies by far deserves this Title.

MOTOGP » Rossi: I'm so happy about that lap!

Rossi's meassge to Stoner and Lorenzo ... hey you'’ll be watching my a%% over the rear cowling the entire race as I get 1 step closer to win number 123.

WSBK » Spies on pole, Haga on back foot

Fab will try 100% for the hole shot and try to slow the pace without risking getting passed by Spies. He will NOT knock Spies down intentionally. He and Duc are far too classy for that. Although we tend to focus on Fab because he's Nori's teammate, I have to agree with other Posters... I believe Rae will cause Spies the most grief. I also believe Rae will not chance any collisions either. Bring on Sunday ...I’m happy but also sad ... this is the last weekend.

WSBK » Portimao - Superpole qualifying times

Could be worse for Nori. At least he has the 10 pt advantage to work with. Nori has started from these poor positions before and has had good results. Never count this guy out. So, I expect Haga to work his way up. Fab will definitely try for the hole shot. Turn 1 could be interesting. This will be an exciting weekend of racing.

MOTOGP » Pedrosa sets sights on Stoner at Sepang

Nick .... It's more like spotting Dani 4 rounds. Remember that the last race, before the 3 missed rounds, Stoner earned only 2 pts after the tire fiasco at Donnington. This has been a very poor season for Honda.

WSBK » Haga prepares for title D-Day

This is a perfect script for a race season. Down to the last race. This has been a very satisfying season to watch and follow. We often assume in our analysis that Nori and Ben will finish 1 and 2 or vice versa in both races. Often this is not the case so it's difficult to gauge the weight of Nori's 10 pt spread. What we can be sure of is that other racers will want to throw a wrench into the podium mix. Rea and Max, to name but two, are worthy and will want to win these final races. So Ben can finish ahead of Nori in both races and still lose the Title if they finish, for example, 2nd and 3rd in both races. Nori wins by 2 pts.

MOTOGP » 250: Simoncelli wins in Australia, title in sight.

Marco is on a roll and will win the Title again this year. Aoyama is a very good racer but I believe he is not Championship material. Aoyama was far too passive in the last few races. It seems he was hoping to gain pts over Marco not by beating him head-to-head but rather hoping Marco would bin again. Marco bit out 16 pts from the 28 pt deficit this one race. Twelve (12) pts over 2 races is nothing in GP. Especially when the opponent is Marco who is very capable of winning races to claim maximum pts per session.

MOTOGP » Lorenzo wrecks titles chances, sorry for Hayden.

I like this kid. Not my favourite ... but he's got raw talent. Lorenzo is obviously a good racer. He's 2nd in the championship. He made a really dumb error and dumped his outside chance of getting a Title this year. Good interview and sincerely offered his apologies to his Team, Sponsors and Hayden.
