Strategic thinking

lorenzo.wheelie

Today’s race was more like a chess game than a race, the wet track made the riders very cautious most of the race….the only action in the race was between the two Honda team mates towards the end of the race.

Lorenzo’s calculations were best, he decided to stick to the wet tires and increase the gabs until the time was right to go in and get the slicks..he was the last rider to go into the pit, Rossi had pit diarrhea… he spent more time going in and out from the bit than on the track.

A replay of round 2 of the world super bike will be showing today on Jazeera Sport 2 at 20:00, hope that will have some action.

Don’t miss it

The Spanish MotoGP round was very exciting as expected…it was a furious battle between Pedrosa, Rossi, Stoner and Lorenzo, but despite the home field advantage Pedrosa had, Rossi took his first win of the season beating Pedrosa on his home land.

Pedrosa started strong with his trademark “Strong Start” and led the race for the first 17 rounds, but Rossi took the lead after that and never looked back.

The race also marked the first podium for Stoner at the Spanish track.

Lorenzo snatches Polini

Lorenzo

Jorge Lorenzo took the standings lead at the Polini Grand Prix of Japan, with Stoner not performing as should..the race was a bit boring, Lorenzo snatched the lead from Rossi and continued to increase the gab while Rossi kept Pedrosa busy.

Lorenzo got a bit over excited and kept riding around the track greeting the fans when his bike ran out of fuel and the Marshals had to push him all the way back to the podium.

The next round will be on May 3rd in Spain, that’s where Lorenzo is expected to get huge support… the people there are very passionate about the Spanish riders and Lorenzo should take a risk to win it, the race should be very entertaining as Pedrosa is also Spanish and he won that race last year.

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

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.
