MotoGP Anyone?!
Anybody a fan of watching MotoGP? I can't get enough of it, love it and the riders. Amazing to watch and I bought the video pass from MotoGP.com so I could watch all the races with no commercials and good commentary - not the BS commentary from the former Speed channel current FoxSports1. Casey Stoner was my man until retirement and I naturally decided to go for Marquez in his first season seeing his previous results in the lower levels. Big fan of Bradl as well - excited to have gotten to meet him and hang out in his garage in Indy 2013. Some amazing technology on those bikes! And hoping Kawi will make a factory comeback too!

Marquez is amazing. It's excellent background noise when I'm doing other things and get the chance to look up and watch for a few minutes.

Oh yeah, I watch every race. Also I bought a ticket to the race at Indy this year. I've never went so I'm pretty stoked.

Nice pics!! I have a bunch of pics of me at Indy last summer with almost all of the GP riders. And I got a pic of the tv in Bradl's garage with motogp.com came through with the camera and I was on tv! Such fun! I have a Stoner signed pic too. It's one bigger pic in the middle and multiple other pics of him through the years surrounding it. I'm working on getting a Marquez one, but so expensive! |

Finally bit the bullet and bought a season pass. Just watched qatar, was a pretty good race. Seems like rossi still has a shot and is not yet over the hill.
Lots of back and forth between him and marquez in the last few laps, close race. Funny how he stepped up on the first place podium after they got the awards like wtf I should have one I deserve to stand here too.

MotoGP yes love it & always look forward to a new season.
Times are sketchy sometimes due to living in Asia but worth staying up to see. In recent years I have really gotten more & more into Moto3 The technology & speeds are very good now. While I was bummed initially by the changes from 2 stroke it is now pretty cool to watch a single cylinder 250's doing 245kph is impressive Not to mention the racing is always the closest of all three classes. Jack Miller looks to be the man this year in Moto3 Of course I love all three classes but Moto3 is really improved IMHO |

Fun race this afternoon! First few laps were some of the best of the season.

Race was good, Marc is unstoppable but glad to see Dani putting in some fast laps towards the end there. Good to see JL99 on the box too after his awful start to the season. It was a MESS (awesome mess at that) the first couple of laps, but then went about as expected.

Vasquez team really seems to have the Honda sorted that bit better than Estrella Galicia team. Vasquez's bike is visibly faster than anything on the long straights isn't it? |

Another great race today! Mostly uneventful in regards to crashes with only a few minor ones, which is good since no one likes to see these guys hit the ground. Wonder how long Marquez will keep it going?!?!?!

Once again best racing of the day in Moto3
Exciting to see 7 or more guys battling the whole race Seeing the lead swap so many times. Have to hand it to Fenati he is looking like a real contender Good first year for VR46/Sky team Moto2....boring still... sorry this was a fav class for years These days only the sound of the bikes is still good & watching them back them into the corners. Other than that just not much to see anymore.Too much daylight between riders MotoGP...what can you say it is the MM show now Cannot expect him to slow down & he has smoothed out his wildness a lot so crashing is less likely. Race seems only for second now Still love it all though from practice thru qualifying & races

Moto3 FTW. I too used to absolutely love Moto2 when The Maniac, Marc, Pol, Luthi, and Bradl were dicing so hard it was unbelievable. Its a bit more pedestrian these days, although I like MK36 pretty well so I didn't mind his ride. Moto3 has filled the gap though and has been an awesome showing.
MM93 is truly in a class of his own, I love the Motomatters round up: three classes MM93, the other factory bikes from HRC and Yami, and everyone else. I am no Rossi fan so I found no enjoyment in his podium, wishing Dani would have put the hammer down a bit earlier as he was clearly faster at the end of the race. I like DP26 but he seems to find every possible way to miss the mark by just enough to be maddening. And JL99, arguably the most talented rider left on the grid other than Marc, looks like a defeated man by the current package/tires setup. Hope today's test sorts it out for him.
