Does any one else watch or go to these races aswell?

I wanted to do a thread dedicated to them for the up and coming season with news,team stats, race results and photos as I and my family go to alot of racing especially at Brands Hatch as that 40 mins away from my house. I can do F1 aswell I occasionally watch it but find the above better :-)

let me know if you would like it and I'll do it.

I used to be heavily into MotoGP the season before last, Stoner & Rossi going for the championship with likes of Pedrosa, Hayden & Vermeulen always lurking over their shoulders - Truly brilliant! I missed most of the last season though and I've never got back into it. In fact I watched more F1 to accommodate for it.

I plan to get back into it this season though, MotoGP and F1 will be the ones I'll be watching more

I'm also hoping to get my riding course started with the 125CC - If I can get a job and pay for it that is

Excellent! Those are my other passions than football! Valentino back to fitness after breaking his leg last season and now on the Ducati this year will be immense!! Stoner is Back on the Repsol Honda and with it being 800cc its going to be a fun packed season! I think Jorge Lorenzo will be slightly worried about trying to retain his title! Moto 2 (250cc) and the 125cc are great too!!

BSB and WSBK was a bit dull last season but hopefully this season will be better! now BTCC is awesome! Tom Onslow-Cole and Tom Chilton in the Fords are awesome and I went for the first time in October. Was gutted Jason Plato won the Championship but I am sure one of the Tom-Tom 's will win it this year!

Bloody hell I just updated myself on the MotoGP goings on!

Rossi to Ducati (about time) and Stoner to Honda?! When the hell did all that take place?! Stoner always annoyed me though, he was a decent rider but his attitude was rubbish! Rossi is a living legend it's about time he gets to ride on, arguably, the best machine in the sport.. The Ducati! It'll be interesting to see if Pedrosa and Stoner will get along.

I hope it'll got like F1 did, a 4 dog race. Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo & Hayden!

On a side note.. I was devastated when I heard about Shoya Tomizawa! The boy was guaranteed to get into the MotoGP within the next 2 years, at the age of only 19.

Love Superbikes and MotoGP.. my aunt and her fella's right into it.. n has got me into it aswell. Shes met that Martin.. cant think of his first nme? and James toseland, Ive got a signed framed pic from him.

My aunt and her boyfriend also own bikes and go on rideouts and trackdays n stuff. top stuff

N yeah, Shoya Tomizawa, superb rider, i was absolutely heartbroken when he passed away.

[Lampards Bitch 21]

Totally gutted about Tomizawa too.

Guy *pork chop sideburns* Martins? I have met JT too Toseland that is lol lovely bloke. I have met quite few riders like Max Biaggi, Troy Bayliss, Chris Vermulen, Leon and Ron Haslam, Leon Camier, Steve Hislop (R.I.P), Neil Hodgson, Carl Fogarty (wanker), Frankie Chili, Bradley Smith, Dan Linfot, Chris Walker, Tommy Hill, Michael Rutter, Gregorio Lavilla, Jamie Whitham, Kyonari, Yukio Kagyama, Tom bridwell and Ollie (R.I.P Ollie), Chris Jones (R.I.P I saw his crash at Brands and he died instantly :-( so sad) Scott Smart (My mum has met his uncle the Barry Sheene! R.I.P) oh there soooooooooooooo many I have met I have to rack my brains on who else!!

My Aunt owns a trike which is awesome! she is a bike nut! My little sister use to have a Repsol Honda 125cc and she sold that and she is getting a bigger bike and her fiance has a rather nice Suzuki GSXR1000.

Aswell as having a Chelsea tattoo I have a flower design off of Valentino Rossi's Crash helmet from 97.

Rossi on Ducati was bound to happen! Bit wierd him being in red though...... i got a pic of what the bike is meant to look like, You could put Vale on a push bike and he would win a title tbh! cant wait for him to get his 10th title this year!!! even though he missed 6 races he still came back and got a few podiums and a couple were wins! He pushed Lorenzo all the way. I dont like Stoner the Moaner, he questioned why Vale was so popular, What a prat, Vale is god and there will be no other rider like him on and off the track he isnt called the G.O.A.T for nothing!

Wow. That's all I can say about everything that you just said

Haha so true, he could win on anything. The Doctor will always be a legend, he's like the Schumy of MotoGP! The 2008 battle with Lorenzo was some of the best I've ever seen him ride, it really was great to see as a spectator, kicked ass on Stoner's little rivalry! Although the Sete rivalry was the best in terms of fierce rivalry

I think the 2-year deal he signed will be it for him, going out on a high and everything. The sport will lose a true great on his last race!

[Lampards Bitch 21]

LOL Sete!!! Do you remember Sete 'hurt' his leg and Vale took the piss out of him when they were walking up the stairs to the podium and grabbed him a chair lmao! what a ledge!

Vale is better than Schumacher even on 4 wheels. Schumacher had a go on bikes in a German league and did crap. also at Monza Vale jumped in the ferrari F1 car and was 1 sec off Schumachers lap time........ Schumacher jumped on Vales bike and was 4 secs off Vales lap time on the bike thats like WORSE than last place! Love waching Vale doing Rally cars too! He won a few races in that.

It's bad to say but once Vale retires Moto GP will not be the same, Vale IS Moto GP.

N i agree about Vale is ace. really comical too... and yeah Guy Martin, thats the one! lol

I used to like british touring cars but they seem too toned down since the days of the lagunas Mondeos and 406s

iis the best form of touring car racing imo
