[Wife of MotoGP Guy]

I'll check it out and let you know what I find.... appreciate all the suggestions! Fingers crossed!!

The trip would be for the both of us... it is in Tuscany after all ;-) and of course I enjoy the races myself! What kind of wife would I be if I didn't take an interest in the one sport my husband is interested in :-)

On the CRT team front, Colin Edwards today announced he'll be with Forward Racing in MotoGP next year, with probably a Yamaha R1 engine and a chassis to be confirmed (he wants Tech 3 to build one). I know the purists hate the idea, but this is where we're going with full prototypes having got too expensive (electronics in particular) - we need to do this to save MotoGP from extinction, basically (a bit like introducing Moto2 as a single-engine series to ensure survival of the middle class, although I have it on good authority they'll be going multi-engine in 2013).

So: we also have CRT entries for Kiefer (surely a Kalex chassis, and surely Stefan Bradl), Blusens (the last rumour I heard was FTR-Kawasaki, no idea on rider), Marc VDS with a Suter-BMW for either Mika or Scott probably, then Interwetten with something for Thomas Luthi (Moriwaki-Honda, anyone?) and Speed Master getting Andrea Iannone onto the grid on something.

Exciting - and different - times ahead for MotoGP.

PLease God let Marques get on the GP grid, if only to make Moto2 mre interesting as right now you might as well give him the trophy and run the race for second as a GP its that predictable

Can someone explain the term CRT means? Heard the term at Indy and just before this afternoon race.

Anyway good luck to Edwards at Forward Racing (old Hayate Racing Team who raced Kawasaki in 09) for next season.

I found it "Claiming Rule Teams"?! don' worry I know the rules. just the term that got me confused.

Dear all, I'm on a similar hunt for 2012 schedule info for Catalunya as I'm trying to plan/book trip to next years gp there. As Rod indicates, the ticket office is a good bet. I was able to get on the email list for the t/o at Catalunya so will get an early crack at non-repeat tickets there. You could also check with local hotels to see if the repeats are booking rooms yet. Could be some on the ground intel. As to flights, that's another story.
