I'm telling you, there is more RACING in 2 or 3 laps of a Moto2 race than there is an entire 28-30 lap MotoGP race.

Yeah, the MotoGP bikes are BEASTS and the technology is cool....but what's the point when the "races" are largely decided before they begin?

I agree on gp and have said much the same things in comparison to sbk. Ai's ability to use the tires has been impressive, we'll see if he can adjust down now that he's seen the limits of that. I'm still upset with the concept of prototype racing when you put caps and limits everywhere. How do you promote innovation by rewarding conventional layouts? Anyway, as for the quality of racing, have you looked at bsb this year?

BSB! Thanks for the Torrents man! I think that Moto2 has innovation that you can't see. Those guys first year basically strapped the suspensions down tight and rode em like go karts to the limit of the spec tire. Clever teams this year are making the suspensions and chassis easier on that tire to try and get full performance and wear to go the distance. These riders that figure out these settings and set ups without so much emphasis on electronics may become better riders. Would love to see a Rossi in his prime Vs a Iannone in his prime...

You know me. I won't be satisfied until there's a vyrus in the field
