Don't we have Spain April 3? 

I stand corrected, DM!  Get your fix this weekend and on Apr 3, then suffer a month's absense.

Thanks for actually looking at the schedule.

Ok guys we have another race this weekend...so anyone wana come over and watch it? maybe after the ride on sunday? 

I've got a question. Wtf is wrong with Speed? I've tried to record the Japan GP 3 times and all 3 times there was something else on instead of the race. Did anyone actually see it on Speed?
I'd like to ride with you guys but I'll probably be at the track. It might be my last one here so I have to take advantage of it while I can.

Craig- Japan GP was canceled due their natural disasters! The next one is this weekend in Portugal on Speed. I'm attending the race school on Friday night and Saturday morning. I'm flying out on Saturday so no track day!

Oh I guess I forgot about that. You should miss your flight and come out to the track and  [moto] What do you say? Sounds like a great idea to me.

Yeah...it was a great race and Rossi's first win on a Ducati.  Sucks you missed it.   

Wtf is wrong with Speed?  Now that's a whole other can of worms.  We'll start with excessive Nascrap coverage and work down the list if you want to take time.

See you Sunday...and you on Saturday, JJ.

"For me, the problem is that big part of MotoGP riders now are pussies," Rossi declared. "In the past, this is normal, the riders were more like real men."

It's official....Dovi to Ducati for 2013 and 2014!  The contract is signed.  The ink is dry.  Done deal!

I saw that!! I really hope the Duc doesn't break his spirit.....

Now only waiting to hear word about Crutchlow and Spies 

Wasn't one of his "conditions" on signing with Ducati that there would be more support for GP racing from big brother Audi? I've also saw an article about Ducati's racing department seeing some reorganizing. I guess it's all just words until something actually happens. Here's to hoping for a good 2013.

We have word about The Ben

Just saw it on the front page of the online NY Times of all places: "Ben Spies to Race MotoGP for the non-factory Pramac Ducati Team".
