I know that no one here probably even watches it.... but oh well.

Big storylines for this, the last year of the 'little bikes.' (800's)


Rossi on the Duc: Is he still hurt? How much? Does the font end of the Duc still suck? How bad? Or is he just sandbagging and playing games with everyone's head? Is he finally getting old and slow?

Hayden: How much does he care anymore? Will he benefit from Rossi's garage enough to be competitive, or is he just planning on collecting a paycheck for a while?

Ben Spies on board with factory Yamaha: How fast can he be? He showed promise last year, but how much was he hindered by the third-party bike?

Lorenzo (reigning champ) on the Yamaha: Will he ever stop complaining? Also..... did Yamaha do their homework this off-season, to stay at the front? Jorge wants more power, but so does everyone....

Honda: What the hell are they doing? They seem to be taking a kamikaze approach to winning a title this year. 3 factory riders? Yikes. Will Pedrosa have a mental meltdown? How many Hondas will Stoner crash? If he crashes as much as he did on the Duc, will he whine about the bike again? Or will he just go out and prove that the Duc sucked, by going crazy fast like he did in testing?

Suzuki: They're still in this thing? lol....

Third party teams: Anyone of note? Simoncelli rode like a man possessed in the last testing session.... it would be cool to see an unexpected person throw a wrench into all of the big names' plans.

Lastly.... is Moto GP starting to suck? Is it turning into a parade? Should we all just give up and watch WSBK already?





To (hopefully) raise interest, pics and video are coming.

Oh. One more thing. Down with traction control!

Rossi and the Desmo in Sepang:





Simoncelli in the same corner. Sideways much?

Rossi and Stoner:




More Rossi. This is just silly:




Hayden leaning, going sideways, and leaving a nice darkie on the pavement.
