MotoGP MotoGP 2012 Season Race Discussion

[Speshal]

My favourite "corner" is on this weekend - Yeeeeees it's the MotoGP at Laguna Seca and I can only be referring to the infamous Corkscrew, it baffles me how they can take that corner that fast!

For all our new MotoGP viewers, this is what it's all about

*edit, great shot of the Corkscrew at around 53 seconds.

 

[gethinceri]

Yeah, it's ace, and a short lap too.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Will Rossi be back at Yamaha next year? that is the burning question...

 

[Jos the Boss]

Who knows?! Did we all see this?

 

[Mephistopheles]

I saw that and it looks like Rossi has three offers on the table one from Ducati One from Yamaha and one from a satellite team probably Tech 3 but my money is him going back to the works Yamaha team...

 

[gethinceri]

In which case he should take the Tech 3 offer and metaphorically bum the factory Yamaha and that little shit Lorenzo through the whole season.

 

[Mephistopheles]

That would be great....

Oh and I love the colours of the tech 3 team...

 

[Jos the Boss]

Rossi says ciao to Ducati, is it konnichiwa to Yamaha?

[Speshal]

I just won £20 off my brother - I bet him that Rossi would be back at Yamaha next season.

 

[mjo]

Well that's Hayden and Crutchlow for Ducati in 2013 then, and Smith and Dovisioso for Tech 3.

 

[Jos the Boss]

gethinceri who are the Eurosport MotoGP commentators?
Cal Crutchlow was having talks with Ducati so surely that's about as telegraphed as Rossi to Yamaha!

 

[gethinceri]

Toby Moody and Julian Ryder Jos the Boss

 

[Jos the Boss]

I thought Toby moved to BTCC and dropped MotoGP, how wrong i was!

 

[gethinceri]

He's doing both I think, remember they don't travel to the MotoGP races.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Makes sense, just consider watching BBC!

 

[gethinceri]

No mate, I am a big Eurosport fan, but you knew that.
Here's some sad news:

Lunatics the lot of them.

"As soon as I stood up, I looked down and saw my foot was at a strange angle to my leg. I had a shooting pain in my lower leg, then I felt a crack as my ankle popped back in."

 

[Jos the Boss]

No race for Hayden, Stoner will be
