MotoGP Fans?
So who else out there is into MotoGP besides me? I'm pretty excited to see Suzuki back in the paddock.

Should be exciting! Bike looks sexy!
I hope they use what learn from all this R&D to update their GSXR's. |

LONG time F1 and more recent MotoGP fan here.
I've had the privilege of going to one MotoGP race.... Indy in 09. Got to see Rossi crash (d'oh!). Been to half a dozen F1 races.

So far Suzuki is just a step ahead Kawasaki in MotoGP. That guy Rossi taking second behind the Honda guy was impressive. He should try and make a career out of this.
F1 was good today also. Massa rocks! I hear next year they are changing to V16s and back to skirts.

HUGE GP fan here. Too bad for Suzuki, pretty dismay wild card. Although I am not a Suzuki fan, (fan of the HRC empire) I do think that Suzuki did a good on selecting riders.
Go Marc, Go Cal and Go Nicky 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahaha!! Not quite but todays testing was better but maybe because it was a little warmer. Maverick and Aleix did pretty well today. I think Maverick was running with the traction control/wheelie control off to get a feel for the throttle and power. The difference in grip and braking between Moto3 and MotoGP is huge. Tomorrows time should be interesting.

Damn right. Jack Miller is amazing. Imagine him on the Repsol Honda instead of Pedrosa.

I guess that could explain why they were 20 km/h slower than everyone else in the straightaway.

Good to see Rossi coming strong at the end of the year like that. I wonder what Lorenzo's issues were with the front end, it seemed like he was fast here and there, but couldn't maintain the consistency most races. With Aprilia and Suzuki getting back into it, let's hope Kawi decides to throw in their entry in a year or two. Kazi's been doing really well in WSBK, so maybe they are ready to add a race team to MotoGP soon. I got the WSBK videopass this year, and after seeing all the extras, I think I will be doing the same for MotoGP as well, next year. Got the computer hooked up to the 66" Flatscreen. |

On Black Friday Dorna had a sale on MotoGP Videopass. For 1 Euro you got full access for the off season. Great deal. I got it and I'm digging it. Watching all of the racing I missed. Hundreds of hours of video.

Back in Indianapolis....
I was asking this guy to legally adopt me, maybe if I had his surname I'd be faster...
Then I thought I'd trade in my zx6r for a Ruckus, because for some reason this Ruckus looked so cool...

Another Marquez fan. Hard not to dig his style when he can do stuff like this:
Slo-Mo stop action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6T-4whZjhQ Real-time video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcEk6QC4W2Q Personally I can't wait to see what Jack Miller will do at LCR.

I'm a tad bit skeptical about Jack Miller skipping Moto2. I do hope I'm wrong, it's just that there's a reason why that division is there. I really do think he's talented and he's one of the most interesting and nicest guys in the paddock, but even Marc Marquez had to go through Moto2.

Moto2 is being seen as less important in the developement chain these days. The racing and racecraft is tougher in Moto3. The main reason Tito stayed in Moto2 is that there were no top seats available in MotoGP.
Too bad that Moto2 isn't a stock 600 class, sort of a WSBK of 600's. Be way more interesting to see but that'll never happen. Dorna either owns or has their fingers in everything so not much will change. Hopefully whatever the new AMA situation is it'll improve the coverage. The coverage has been pretty lame compared to MotoGP/2/3. More like watching club racing.

I believe the MotoAmerica packaging is with CBSSports Network and will be televised but am not sure which races we will actually be able to see. But hey its moving in the right direction. In terms of Moto2 vs WSS its pretty interesting to look at the differences between the classes in terms of lap data. Moto2 is now both faster than the old 250cc class and the WSS bikes while also being closer in terms of the lap time spread.

I am excited that there will be at least some MotoAmerica presence at the WSBK and GP rounds in the US as well with two support races scheduled at COTA, Indy, and Laguna.

Moto2 is a "spec" class to be sure and will be more so in 2015. I think almost all but 7 or 8 riders will be on Kalex. Here's the entry list for 2015:

The Moto2 bikes look like proper race bikes and they aren't always at full throttle. I'd like to catch the last round of the AMA Series at NJMSP next September. It conflicts with a trip I take every year.
