I catch a race once in a while. Not a real fan but I can tell you who some of the riders + their teams are.

MotoGP has a lot of lead changes and passing, great action, and IMO it's more entertaining racing than Formula 1. But the coverage of it in the USA is so lousy that I never want to watch it.

It's kind of a shame because MotoGP proves that Americans can compete in international motorsports. Hayden's a recent champion and he now rides for Ducati. Imagine if there had been an American F1 champion who drives for Ferrari? We'd be going nuts.

I'm a big rider and small-time racer, so I try and keep up on my Moto GP. As mentioned though the coverage is horrible. I used to order the Speed channel just to watch it, but decided $10/mo for the "package" it was available on was crap, so I cancelled it. I try to find bars that show the races but there aren't too many.

Much more exciting to watch than Formula 1 I think. The races are short and there is a lot of passing. Anyone who can get ahead of Valentino Rossi is racing like a monster, which is always fun to watch.

Edit: Crashes, aka 'dismounts', are better than a stupid car crash anyday

Yes. He is back from a injury and recently in laguna seca finished 5th which is great for him because hes been finishing at the back as of recent.

/\might be interested in some torrent links.

I saw the end of last week's race where Hayden finished 5th and Rossi 2nd, though can't seem to remember who beat the Doctor. Rossi still leads in overall point standings. I want Hayden back on a Kawasaki.... but I may be biast....

Congrats! How are you liking it so far? Welcome to the dark side (Kawasaki).

Been on two wheels for about 5 years now. Currently have a ZX6-R with a bunch of goodies on it. Quick bike for a 600cc, just dynoed at 110.7hp at the wheel.

Hope Hayden does better in sachsenring...

Vale is GOAT

Pedrosa is a robot

Stoner can be scary fast... but suffering with unknown illness

Lorenzo is freaking nuts!!! all those crashes in laguna seca and still finished third!

I hope Ben Spies joins moto gp next year with tech 3 yamaha, and not the zook.

Thanks you. Although I have not ridden it much yet, I absolutely love it. There's no need to convince me on the sheer acceleration of the zx-6r, beauty in itself

Vale!!!!!!!!

Stoner, I don't know what his problem is. if he keeps this up(whining etc) he'll be the cry baby of the sport. And lorenzo, what a sport. Although I was not a fan of him at first, he really is an amazing rider and a "good guy".
