Default Moto GP

Any of you guys watch MotoGP?

Jeebus... the racing there is absolutley incrediable...I'm literally on the floor watching the last lap of the Portugal GP race from last week right now. And felt compelled to post about it and let you guys know

.0002 secs splits 1st & 2nd place after trading spots 4 times on the last lap!!

Is that shown on Speed? Is it road racing? Is there a web site for more info? I watch everything now, except drag racing and nascar - I'd be glad to add another series to my Tivo list

MotoGP racing is the second manilest man racing out there,only second to the bravest motorcycle road racers. Those who dare to race the Isle of Man TT.

All other forms of cage racing is for pvssies F1 included.

Watch out- you got the bug.

Been watching this sport for years and it makes all other racing look like, as someone said, a bunch of pussies.

Very exciting.

And look this kid from Kentucky wins the world title and you can't read shit about it anywhere in this country that is choking on Nascar.

The last race where Rossi wiped out was incredible. He is rock solid so for those who have bad days remember even Rossi does.

BTW don't know if you saw the cameo by Michael Jordan at the race- he is a big fan of this kid from Kentucky- one more reason to like Jordan.

That's a sad statement about racing coverage/spectators in America.

I think Nicky was on the cover of ESPN magazine. Now THAT is a step in the right direction.
