Rossi racks up more GP World Championship points with a victory on his home track

Sunday was another exciting race in the world of Moto GP. The venue was Mugello Italy. I was expecting to see a crazy battle between the three most domintant Italians (Rossi, Lorenzo and Melandri) at the front of the race. Instead, Rossi ran away with it early on. The other two actually ended up both…

Sunday, Rossi took another comfortable win at LeMans. The first few laps were a really tight battle between Pedrosa, Stoner, Edwards and Rossi. Stoner was leading for several laps as Rossi made his way from fourth position to second. After Rossi got around Stoner, Pedrosa was next. Soon thereafter, Stoner started having some issues with…

This Sunday, May 18th will be the Alice Grand Prix De France. Rossi, and the Fiat Yamaha team have a bit of momentum for this weekend, coming off of such a strong victory in China. Rossi has a personal agenda for Sunday, to gain retribution for his last 2 races on this track. Although he…

Rossi pulls out a victory in China, Lorenzo races with broken ankle

Sunday’s race was a classic. The front line of the starting grid was Collin Edwards, Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner. The race was intense from the very first corner. There was a lot of competition in the early laps for first position. Eventually Edwards took a corner wide and ran off the course, dropping way…

Get set for a Doozy this Sunday in Shanghai

This Sunday will be the Pramac Grand Prix of China. I have a feeling that this race is going to be crazy. The first free practice session on Thursday started out nuts with a nasty highside by the current points leader, Jorge Lorenzo (seen here being thrown from his Yamaha M1). Luckily he only sustained…

Jorge detonates in Estoril

Sunday’s race wasn’t the most exciting thing ever. The rookie Jorge lorenzo started on pole, with Pedrosa and Rossi qualifying 2nd and 3rd respectively. Those three pretty much controlled the pace of the race. Lorenzo and Rossi were in the lead for most of the race. By the 13th lap, Rossi was clearly having some…

After 2 free practice sessions, Rossi and Pedrosa are pulling down the fastest times in Estoril. Stoner is barely in the top 10 fastest so far. It would be great if this Sunday ends up being a tight battle between the two. After the win in Spain, 2 weeks ago, Pedrosa now holds the lead,…

For the second race in the 2008 GP season, Jerez Spain will be the venue. Although Stoner has been impressive during practice (and tends to kick it up a notch in the actual race), this is Jorge Lorenzo’s home turf. This is his first season racing in the premier class, after taking the title in…

Stoner Prevails Again

Yesterday was the first ever, night race in Moto GP. It was a very exciting race. Pedrosa got off to an early start and finished 3rd. Rossi lead for a while, but seems like his bike is still grossly underpowered. Stoner made his way up to the front of the pack, about half way through…

Well, there you have it. As I sit here at work, counting down the hours until the first GP race of the season (or at least the local broadcast of the first race), it becomes apparent that it may be a repeat of last season. In the pre-2007 seasons, dating back to when he first…
