Motogp Round 2 - Jerez

Hmm.. I was disappointed with the MotoGP race. It was a fine ride by Rossi but it wasn't exactly interesting. Nice to see Elias up there, and it looks like Hayden has improved a bit. Capirossi was still nowhere. :confused:

Apart from the distinct lack of passing and falling on the track, the race was also a reminder that Rossi is still the King of the Hill. And with both Yamaha's looking so good with Rossi leading the championship, I'm inclined to think it might be a bit of an unwanted contrast to last year.

Well, next up we have Istanbul and Shanghai, both tracks where top speed is really important. Rossi is going to get his ass kicked at Shanghai, and will have a lot of trouble at Istanbul, just because the Yamaha is lacking top end. So by the time we get back to Le Mans in a couple of months' time, the situation may look a little different.

Me too, I largely lost interst in the race after that. Chris did well though.

Re Kropotkins review; I can believe that something happened to Hopper other than loosing the front end. If you watch carefully he is half thrown from the bike even while the two wheels are in line and gripping.

I'm thinking about useing the extra time to get caught up on the 250 (and maybe 125) races of the season thus far. Life is kinda busy here in LALUville so if we get QP and the race in its a good thing. I'd like to get more time with the 250s so we had a better idea of whos who when they come up to MotoGP.

The 250 race was incredible, well worth watching. Very different from the MotoGP race.
I loved Toni Elias though, he's an absolute nutcase!

Seems Jerez couldn't make everybody satisfied with the motogp result :)
It's incredible race for Colin Edwards, as for Rossi and Pedrosa many people have predicted to fight that way in so many next-coming races. Honda have found their ideal speed, but Yamaha have found their ideal compromised speed and aero device package.

For 250 cc Bautista performed faster than it should, i think Alvaro will have some podium and even challenge the title, but not now maybe some day later on, he performed beyond my expectation. That was ideal Jorge and Alvaro hold 1-2 podium at Jerez, perfect day

It's more about color and SPEED

La razza di domenica era molto buona che ho piaciuto esso molto molto eccitando! io giusto spera che la prossima razza sarà proprio come eccitando!
