2008 Grand Prix motorcycle racing

[Ross Balfour]

Cant wait for the new season
I like Mattia Pasini but he can never ride a Moto gp bike because he had an operation on his arm when he was younger and he doesnt have the strength to ride them
Shame he is a great rider and shame bout his bike failing every race!!

Funny you mention Mattia,

The young guy I mention in my previous post (Harry Stafford) ran a factory passini mini moto when he used to race them, (I also ran a passini), Mattia's father is the company owner of passini moteri and used to hand build every one in italy.

EDIT: added piccie

I saw qual for race in Qatar and it was nice

 

[Wido Rossen]

It`s kinda strange to see them race in the dark.
I`m wondering howe the drivers like it.

Qatar

Looks like there is a Michelin dominans at the quali for Qatar. Anyone knowing why Rossi is on Bridgestone when all the other Yama's are on Michelin? It can't be just sponsor money?

Go Toseland! I cant wait to see this race

 

[Attila Domján]

ah, bad day, my boy Talmacsi had some technical issues... baaaaah.....

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Gah, Good try Toseland, Qualied up in 2nd for his first ever moto GP but unfortunatly his poor bike just hasnt got the power of the factory yamaha's down the straights,

Congrats casey stoner and Lorenzo, not a bad second place for his first moto GP also
