MotoGP is hotting up and looking like an interesting season. Big brain fart for Lorenzo in Austin puts him a long way behind.
Great to see Ausie Jack Miller doing so well in Moto3. 2/2 wins so far and looking fantastic on the bike. Knew he would be doing well this year on a more competitive machine...

Dovi rides a factory / not factory / open /closed / ajar Duke though.
Don't they some kind of handicap now ? _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

You want Handicaps on the Duc's??? Dont they have enough already being Duc's?? Evidently they still run larger capacity motors than the others coz of the L twin configuration....but then they've been pulling that old one for some 20 years now.......... |

Hi 2Bims,
Don't you mix-up the Motogp with WSBK?
2 cylinders are WSBK .....
Nevertheless always nice to see an Italian bike on the podium
In the last round yesterday in Aragon Ducati (Davide Giugliano) made a typical Italian move and lost it all (gone podium...)
Fortunately Bimota did not a bad job!

Great quote on twitter - "Lorenzo jumped the start of the Moto2 race...." _________________ Now - SB6R, GSX1400, KTM 990 SuperDuke
Then - H2A Trip, GSX1000R , EXC400, TZ250, R1, TL1000S, 1100 Kat, RG500, RD500, GPZ 900R GPZ1100 UniT, GSX1100, Z650
It was like that when I got here |

OK - Ducati run as a Factory 2 Class which is the same as the Open Class with 24 litres of fuel and 12 engines but if they score either :
1 Win
2 Second Places
3 Third Places
They will have 22.5 litres of fuel and 9 engines. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

It looked to me like Lorenzo was thinking about something else or had lost concentration, and when the lights turned red he reacted, instead of waiting for the lights to go red and then go out. I think the Desmocedicci is a L4 cylinder. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Still, the star for me was Jack Miller on the KTM. This lad will be the next Australian motorcycle champion i think. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
