MotoGP 2011
 
Noticed we had a F1 thread but didn't have GP thread. Anyone else following GP this year?


That was the first race of this year. I want to hear your predictions for this year.

Personally, I want spies to win, but I don't know if he'll pull through this year

I hope rossi's shoulder heals and he can handle the ducati.
Won money on whoregay lorenzo beating pedrosa at Qatar. Was a pretty intense battle going on.

!oHenry 03-27-2011 06:41 PM

It was a good battle. The Pedrosa and Stoner battle was pretty tight as well for a while. Pedrosa so quick on that last corner. Stoner seems to be loving his Honda though =P

Rossi or Lorenzo.

I'm all for stoner this year now that he's switched to honda. But simoncelli will be one to look out for.

!oHenry 04-03-2011 10:20 AM

I heard simoncelli wont cut his hair until he wins the championship

Estoril!!

Podium:
1.Lorenzo
2.Pedrosa
3.Stoner

Laaaaaate update.


What do you guys think of the simoncelli incident? I believe he was wrongly penalized as it seemed pederosa tried to run him wide after the exiting the corner. Also, if it had been anyone else, (rossi for example in the estoril race or that attempted pass on dovisioso), nothing would of happened. The judges are too biased causing inconsistencies in the races.

Damn! missed the first few races this season cuz ive been so busy with work. dling them all now and going to watch tonight. Will report back tomorrow!

BoostNseveN 05-23-2011 12:27 AM

Repsol boys are who I will be rooting for! Simonceilli and Spies are the future stars of motogp though.

Interesting to see how rossi will do next few races. He seems to get more comfortable as each race goes.

tegz 05-23-2011 02:18 AM

Just watched the first 2 races and parts of the 4th. Holy have the tables turned between yammy and honda =/ I like stoner on honda tho, by far my favorite.

Warp9Racing 05-23-2011 10:05 AM

it seemed like they were at the same wheel length going into the corner, dani had the inside and the line...sic shoulda slowed down...anyone that races bikes should know that...he had the pace to easily pass later on...as much as i hate pedrosa, he didnt deserve it, sucks too cuz now he had surgery again and will miss a race maybe more...

IMO it was a racing incident, i think if sic didnt get the ride through and got the podium there would have been more controversy....i guess it was just the build up of the prior racing incidents that he was given a ride-through...Im not a sic fan either but at least MOTOGP is more interesting with him around...

HRC looks STRONG this year,will deffiently win the manufactures championship...

SPIES needs to up his game,build his confidence to be able to run with the aliens, and hopefully the switch to bigger engines will play to his advantage next year...

Rossi is getting stronger as the races go by but wont be able to mount a championship run this year...

tegz 05-23-2011 12:59 PM

^Spies won't be first tier in a while imo

Warp9Racing 05-24-2011 06:05 AM

just give him some time...he just needs to get his starts down

racerman88 05-24-2011 02:29 PM

how long is Pedrosa out for? He broke his right collarbone in that accident.
No official word from www.motogp.com

pedrosa was supposed to be out at least one race but looks likes he's trying to make Catalunya...

Warp9Racing 05-24-2011 05:16 PM

I want to get into watching AMA, anywhere I can watch online? No TV at home :(

Warp9Racing 05-24-2011 09:50 PM

meh...AMA is kinda waste of time, not as good as it used to be back in the day with mladin/spies/duhamal/hayden/bostrom etc... although the 600cc races are good...esepcially last year
