Stoner started on pole, with Rossi right next to him. It was pretty clear when they left the grid that it was going to be another one of those races where Stoner just disappeared into the sunset after a few laps. Which is basically what did happen. Rossi also broke away from the pack, but … Continue reading Rossi catches a huge break at Brno→
Hayden has withdrawn from the GP events of this upcoming weekend because of an injury in the weight bearing part of his foot. The real punch in the nuts, is that he sustained the injury while racing in the supermoto event at the X Games in L.A. last week. I’m not really sure what possessed … Continue reading Hayden won’t race at Brno because of heel injury→
College football season must almost be here, if GP is over the mid-season hump. I’m getting pretty excited about both College football, and finishing up the GP season. Even though the next race isn’t until next weekend, I thought that I would post anyway. The GP website currently has a free video to get people … Continue reading Entering the last week of Moto GP Summer Break→
I’m still crying inside, after missing my two favorite races of the GP Season. Those would be, Sachsenring and Laguna Seca. Sachsenring, because the track is so cool, Laguna, because it is in CA, and broadcast live. For whatever reason, they were not on the DVR queue when we got back, either.

Rossi, who started next to Stoner on the grid, had a bit of a sketchy start, but was able to maneuver back into second position by the first corner, where James Toseland, incidentally crashed. … Continue reading My Stoney Baby→
At the end of the day on Friday (in the UK), after both free practice sessions, Casey Stoner had noticeably faster times than the other riders. This may not mean a lot, in scheme of qualifying or in the actual race, but it does seem to indicate that Stoner has once again found his groove. … Continue reading British Grand Prix at Donington Park→
This view of Pedrosa’s back tire is about all that the other riders saw on Sunday. Dani started on pole and got out to an early lead that only increased as the race went on. Stoner was in second position early, but ran wide on turn 4, twice, allowing Pedrosa to build a comfortable margin. … Continue reading Dani Detonates in front of home crowd→
Another nasty crash for Lorenzo will make him unable to compete in Sunday’s race. Lorenzo needed to finish strong this weekend to continue to be a threat to Pedrosa in the GP Championship points, especially after crashing out of the race last week in Mugello. He is currently 3rd in the standings, but he could … Continue reading Gran Premi Cinzano De Catalunya→
