MotoGP 2012 - Round 1 - Qatar (SPOILERS, race: 4/8)

Looks like the Yamahas are dialed in. They're all up there.
Means Casey and Nicky are doing well to be among them.
Great to see Nicky up there.

Zzzzzzzzz....

Just can't get excited about GP racing anymore. WSBK is just so much better. Wonder how long the GP class racing will even hang on? Can't even believe I am asking that question given how long I have been a fan. Just no sparks and fury anymore. NASCAR on 2 wheels.

Dude. There's a WSBK thread somewhere out there. You don't need to remind us that you're not a fan of MotoGP.

He's just complaining for the sake of it. He'll watch ALL GP and Moto 2 races and we'll get to hear about ow much better it was in the good old days. Remember when Moto 2 started? God that was annoying.

Don't be lured in by the waving of the cane:

  Don't pay attention to the ramblings of a fussy old fart... that is unless it's Nate doing the rambling!

Of course I'll watch M-GP. You will just to have to endure me pregnant doging about it later!

At least you havent lost your sense of humour  ; but I guess that'll go too, eventually, along with your hair and eyesight 

Just Kidding Fast, we love you 

Now when the hell is the torrent for this thing gonna be up, I've been waiting

[Buckethead]

Holy shit. 

Moto3 race for 3rd.

I had a blast watching Moto3/2 and GP gave us some racing today!  I hope the whole year continues to shape up like this weekend.  I'm guessing Casey's chatter wore him out as much as the bridgestones went off.  Lorenzo played the cards right and Dani had some fire in him.  I hope he can get through this season healthy.

[Triple J]

That was a good race.  Some good passes throughout! Great riding by the top 3. 

Nice to see Crutchlow ride well too, as well as Hayden.   

Spies & Rossi?

[desmoquattro]

Spies & Rossi?

Irrelevant...apparently. It's painful to think of the GOAT running around in 10th.

[fastwin]

Now that the in-laws have finally left after Easter lunch and the rest of the family is off to this evening's Rangers game looks like it's time for a cold adult beverage and some Moto-GP race watching. Sounds like some good racing!

... see, I don't pregnant dog all the time.

[duccarlos]

Did not watch moto3, but heard it was good.

Moto2  

I would have been happy if they left the camera on turn 1 the whole race.  

GP was actually entertaining, at least the last few laps. Crutch trying to get past Dovi was just hilarious. Spies and Rossi going backwards was sad. Nicky had to fight for that 5th, but I'm happy he had a decent showing.

Overall

Irrelevant...apparently. It's painful to think of the GOAT running around in 10th.

I can't even say that I'm dissapointed anymore, as that bike has broken and discarded many good racers.  Rossi is clearly not "all in."  

Its not like you can say "oh well the other guys are riding it ok," as they finished 28+ seconds behind the winner.  Its arguably a bigger piece of shit than last year and the finishing time would definately say that.
