    I kind of fell out of love with Moto GP last season. I’m going to watch the race this afternoon and hopefully I’ll remember why I used to like the sport so much!

    It’s on at the perfect time tonight, 9:30PM. I think I’ll lay in bed and watch this one!

    What an amazing race so far. Rossi 12th to 3rd in a few laps!

    EDIT: He’s down!

  • Profile picture of Scribe Scribe said 2 years, 1 month ago:

    AAAAACK, poor simoncelli, ah well. Come on Dani!

    EDIT

    Ah I don’t like Lorenzo much, ahh well, Stoner out boo.

    Last season was pretty good I thought despite Lorenzo’s dominance, I’m hoping for a Honda champion this year though!

    5 mins ago: Great race so far – 4 fighting for the lead with 4 differant teams, and a privateer leading!
    3 mins ago: Race slightly spoilled, two contenders crash out early…
    Now: Oh dear… Privateer leader mucks up and crashes out…

    Free win for Lorenzo…

  • Profile picture of Scribe Scribe said 2 years, 1 month ago:

    Dani’s making time on him, much prefer Pedrosa. COME ON DANI!

    Shame we can’t get this in HD.

    EDIT
    Dammit, Lorenzo’s responded. Looks like the arrogant sod could be safe.

    EDIT 2

    Turned into a boring race.

    Wow about time MototGP got good, all be it with the help of rain…

    What was Rossi doing?…Poor Stoner.

    I preferred the BTCC though to be honest.

    Great race. Only problem is that Pedrosa didn’t win, I’m not a big fan of Lorenzo, it was nice to see Nicky Hayden get a podium.

    What a race! The initial laps were wonderful, then Super Sic fell :(
    From then on there was no action but I knew someone was going to fall every lap, so the tension was high.
