The pros and cons of being the Dr.
Seams the incident between Rossi and Stoner at Jerez is far from over and is to be investigated by the FIM, anyone who witnessed the crash can see how around 10 marshals went to help Rossi and left Stoner struggling all alone trying to start his bike, and only after Rossi took off a couple of them went to help Stoner and did a bad job.
Musical Chairs
Today race was more of a Musical Chairs game, riders were going down one by one because of rain…Rossi was the first to go down and he took Stoner with him when he was performing a late breaking maneuver but he went down as soon as he let go of the break, unlike stoner he managed to ride the bike again and finish 5th !!
Simoncelli lead most of the race and just when we thought he’s gona win he went down at a slow curve, Lorenzo was behind him and kept a steady pace until he claimed the race.
Lets go green
Lauren Vickers portraying as Mother Nature for the 2011 LCR Honda Pramac eco-friendly campaign, the Pramac team decided to go green and was the first to use clean energy to power their garage.
Now would that lure into going green? if it doesn’t then maybe the none cropped version will.
Fast Stoner
Its nice to be home after spending the past 3 days at the track, i enjoyed the 8-10 hours i spent daily at the track..the action and excitement makes you lose track of time and only when you get back to the hotel you realize how damn tired you are.
The race was nice and Stoner was too fast for everyone, although at some point Pedrosa scored faster lap times but he couldn’t keep the pace. Either coming out of a curve or flying down the straight, the acceleration and the speed of Stoner was way faster than any other bike at the track and the real thing is way quicker than what one see on TV.
A nice battle between Rossi and Ben Spies took place for almost 4 laps at the same curve but Spies finally managed to overtake the Dr.
I believe the 2011 season is going to be great and we might witness a thrilling battles between the Repsol team teams just like Yamaha team mates battles back in 2009.
Next race is in Spain on April 3rd .
Shoulder lack strength
Last night qualifying battle was between the two Repsol Honda team mates Stoner and Pedrosa, but Stoner was faster and managed to beat Pedrosa…Lorenzo came 3rd.
The surprise was that Rossi came 9th and after qualifying Rossi said that his shoulder was fine now but lack enough strength to keep up the pace, on the technical side he also confirmed that they made some improvement to the bike and there is a lot to be made but its not possible at time being.
Tonight at 10pm the real race starts, and we believe its going to be very competitive.
Good Evening Losail
Am in Doha for the opening race of the 2011 MotoGP season, the race is on Sunday 10pm local time but i am here early to watch the free practice and the qualifying .
I arrived at the circuit a bit late yesterday but i was in time to watch the 3rd free practice and all i can tell you is that the Dr. is not very happy with the front end of his Ducati it was wobbling like a cheese cake
i also managed to have Lorenzo autograph my Moon helmet, i was also lucky to meet Dr. and he also autographed my corkscrew cap.
No more Brno
The Czech Grand Prix one of the most attended races is might be coming to an end, Automotodrom Brno announced a loss of £2.9 million in 2010 which is likely to bring an end to the annual Czech Grand Prix, Automotodrom Chairwoman Ivana Ulmanova said: even if we cut operational costs it’s likely this summer’s Czech Grand Prix will be the last one.
So my Tiq Taqi friends its either this summer or never 😉
