Lorenzo to stay with Fiat Yamaha...
....despite the fact that he had an offer from Ducati. So surprising. :- D Elias spouted a world class rant about MotoGP politics after yet again losing a ride... I loike Elias and all, but he seems to fall into that venerable catergory of riders (I am reminded of McCoy, somehow) that look utterly brilliant abou... 3 Sep 2009 09:05

Kevin Schwantz to ride 45mins before Indianapolis GP
The fans favourite Kevin Schwantz is to ride a 1995 RGV 500 before the main event but with the crusade against two-strokes by the FIM why are they allowing this? I still think the change from two-strokes is a cynical attempt to manipulate motorcycle manufacture that serves little purpose other than to create heavy ... 3 Sep 2009 09:05

My comments on Kallio driving into Melandri
Looked to me like Kallio was late apexing for a good drive, and Melandri was early apexing for the passing attempt. Kallio was focusing so far down the track that "boom". By the look of it Kallio was pretty lucky not to be hurt. He came very close to sticking an arm through Melandri's rear wheel (which was pro... 3 Sep 2009 09:05

*almost* official, Hayden fired
I feel sad for Nicky H., he has worked very hard throughout his career etc, but I reckon his mind-set is kinda fragile. And his WC was really "awarded" by Rossi's very untypical wipe-out ----- . For that matter, I am really worried about Stoner --- either he has a really serious, maybe life threatening physical ... 3 Sep 2009 09:05

Will Fans enjoy Moto2 Commentating?
Whether or not we even rode bikes, there was some inherent interest in hearing that the Honda had passed the Yamaha, etc etc. Every spectator knew the bikes. Next year we will hear --- what? I'm betting announcers will be using rider names only, because team names, with no need for a "Honda" suffix , will be too ... 3 Sep 2009 09:04
