Who's with me?

Man are these guys scrapping! And this weekend with Elias and Toye especialy! Wow! I was on the edge of my chair more than the MotoGP (at least until Lorenzo's last lap). I tend to glaze over with the 125 series, but the Moto2 has been a blast to watch. I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to it now.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

I also like that the bikes are seemingly equal on power and you have slightly different riding styles going head to head and showing the colors of their style and the attributes of their chassis and set-up.

I like that there are enough bikes on the grid to have 9 of 'em crash in the same corner and still have a decent grid on the restart ;D

Didn't everyone re-start anyway?

Yeah. My point was more about having 9 bikes in a crash...in MotoGP that'd be considered a massacre.

Totally agree.  It has definitely surpassed my expectations.  Noyes also said that he thinks Moto2 will suit Americans better than GP250, so hopefully we see some more in the future.

Half the field... [thumbsup]

If that happened, and the crashers couldn't re-start, would the race count for points?

You're being too generous. 9 bikes in MotoGP is usually 60% of the field ;D

I want them to go back to having to push their bikes of the line on the start. Now that was cool.

That would be good.

I doubt that they'd run many races if they did though.

seemingly? they're all using the exact same motor.  they ARE equal in power.
