Ride like an Italian

BikeWorld the local dealer of Vespa, Gilera and Piagio scooters is organizing a scooter ride Friday morning, i’am not sure if they will be bringing demo scooters for people to ride or they are only organizing the ride for scooter owners, either way its nice gesture but a bit late as the weather is getting hot.
See you all on Friday 🙂 .
Fast Stoner
Filed under: Events, Losail Circuit, MotoGP, Repsol Honda, 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
Filed under: Dani Pedrosa, Events, Honda, Losail Circuit, MotoGP, Qatar, Rossi, Stoner, Travel
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.
