On the other side of the token... where in the hell are the races going to be televised? I checked with SuckTv and there is nothing there, then, I also checked with ABC Sports to no avail.  I may be able to catch them on the p2p.eu but I thought I give the TV a chance since it was going to be at a decent time... oh well, I also predict that Rossi will win it by a mile or he will bin it on the first few laps trying to escape.

HOllllyyyyyy Crap, I guess I should be extremely happy that even after missing that snooze fest, I am still within reach of Pops Jimbo. First of all, Fox sports was no where to be found in my area, at 5PM the local Fox channel had news (to be expected), the fox sports channels had something else not even remotely close to motorcycle racing and nothing on their programming schedule of this race... how fooked up is that????  Then, my p2p.eu client was on the fritz and I my live transmission was stuttering so bad I had to relent and turn it off. to top it all off, I am looking for any links to rapidshare, mms or torrents and one of the fookers on the link clearly tells the whole world who has won the race and who the other 2 on the podium were... Why would you do that?  I gotta give it up for the Turd-Midget, not in a million years would I have thought he had it in him to beat Rossi, Lorenzo or even Stoner in Laguna. I also gotta give it up for my boy Nicky, sure Dovizioso waded it up but he did pass Edwards & Elias to take that 5th well deserved position. I honestly don't believe he'll do much better than that because it appears that he rode with his heart in his hand and it wasn't the bike & him finally meshing together but... I'll take what I can get. I guess we can say that Edwards is Laguna Intolerant? that boy is just bound to be riding good in practices to finish 4th or 5th as his best... he should be be back at WSBK where he really knows how to shine. Besides, someone's got to give Ben a run for his money!  |

From where I was sitting it wasn't really a snooze fest. I saw a coupla good saves, a coupla crashes, some position swapping high in the order and a valiant performance by some homegrown talent. How can you call it a snoozefest when you didnt see it? |

 I call it a snooze fest because when you watch the full 27 or 28 laps with no commercial interruptions, it is exactly that. OK, so there were a couple of saves, passes here and there but c'mon... watching paint dry can get as exciting as these races (sans the couple of laps where there is action happening). Luckily for us, Dorna is talking about a possible comeback to the 990's, I am just hoping the changes will come sooner rather than later as MotoGP is loosing audience by the minute... by the way, this is not my opinion only  Last edited by RC90; 07-06-2009 at 02:20 PM. | |

I don't think MotoGP is a snoozefest. If I wanted to watch race vehicles lined up I'd switch to NASCAR. Anybody, at anytime, can throw it away in GP. The finish of this race was not a given. The proof is in my DVR. Didn't Edwards become the 14th or 15th rider to reach 100 points in GP? I'd gladly take that if I had a GP career. I hate to say it, but I don't know that Nicky has much more than what he showed at Laguna. Maybe this will be his big turnaround, but I don't hold much hope. |

I am not complaining (much), but I do feel (as do many others) that the 800cc bikes have ruined the competitiveness of it all. All in All, I just want to see more action, even if it is for 5th position  Quote:

Well it looks like their might be some light at the end of the tunnel for Nicky. The race couldn't have been predicited very little passing. A few crashes the pass Lorenzo almost put on Rossi would have been sick.

While I prefer WSBK on some levels it isn't necessarily b/c the racing is better. I like it because it is more abundant (2 per weekend). I also like the principal players (Haga/Spies...........Fabri) more than MotoGP's(Rossi/Stoner/Pedrosa/Lorenszo........Dovi)............hey look at that...........there's more guys in the hunt on any given Sunday in MotoGP than in WSBK.......how'd that happen? The racing is good in both. MotoGP has the ooh la la factor, while WSBK is the blue collar series. They both rock. I rest my case. | |
