A superb win for Stoner
Although i’am a huge fan of Rossi but i just can’t hide my enjoyment of Stoner’s performance on the Ducati at opening race of the 2009 MotoGP in Qatar yesterday , at one point Sorner managed to increase the gap between him and Rossi to around 5sec with a top speed of 330Km…looks like its going to be a tough battle this season with the 2 Yamaha riders finishing second and third.
Next race is will take place at the Motegi circuit in Japan on the 26th of April, the Netherlands will be hosting the forth round of the World Super Bike at the same day as well.
May the best man win
Due to bad weather conditions, the forst round of the 09 MotoGP race at Qatar has been postponed, the warm-up will run at 6.30pm, with the race scheduled to start at 9pm.
Mr.Elbowz
WSBK rookie Ben Spies also know as Mr.Elbows due to his riding style where his elbows frequently touch the ground when making sharp turns, is giving the god fathers of the WSBK a run for the pole positions.
Mr.Elbowz dominated the two WSBK qualifying sessions at Losail Circuit in Qatar, he lapped the 5.380 km circuit in 1 minute 57.280 seconds, Jakub Smrz on the 1098R came second, a fraction of a second behind Spies, and ahead of Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) in third. The race is taking place tomorrow, and am very anxious to see if the big boys will let rookies set foot on the podium.
09 MotoGP
The first race of the 09 MotoGP race will take place on April 12 at Losail Circuit in Qatar, riders started their 2 day testing session yesterday, but the weather was awful something like what we had in Kuwait a few days back…at the first day some of the riders did not even bother to enter the track.
The uniqueness of Losail is that its the only circuit that hosts’ a night race, which is really nice to watch… especially if you are watching it on TV where cameras zoom in at the riders and you get to see the expressions on their faces.
Hope the weather will be fine by April.
