What a season opener, eh?

Not shocking that the Honda's and Yamaha's are up front.

But goddam, it's painful to watch the Ducati. It seems like the only thing they haven't changed yet is the damn engine. 30 second's back? Rossi looks so damn frustrated, maybe even mentally defeated. Wonder if it's too late for him to start his own team with Aprilia?

Its sad when Barbera on the Pramac looks like they have a better package than the factory boys. He kinda fucked himself in the first corner of the last lap, but he might have beaten Hayden.

How are you guys watching the races?

I'm pretty much over the coverage offered by SPEED.

I bought the basic video package on MotoGP.com. I think its on sale for $49 right now. I gladly pay that for the enjoyment I recieve from it. Plus you can go back and watch all the races back to 1992. And you get all the offseason stuff too. If you have the money for it, the HD package is amazing...

If not, get Dave to send you torrents. They are the Eurosport announcers usually.

Yep. Only I got the HD package. After getting it halfway through the year last year, it is $ well spent, IMO.
I believe you can also watch the practice/qualifying (for all GP classes) live on SPEED2.com if your cable satellite provider has a deal with them. I have DirecTv, so it isn't available to me.

It looked like Hayden rode his ass off to finish like 28 seconds behind. That has got to be truly frustrating. What's weird is I think Rossi turned his fastest laps on a worn tire at the end of the race. Maybe he realized how close the CRT bikes were to him.

You have to have some kind of user name and password for your cable/sat provider to access the Speed2 feed. I had no fucking idea what mine was.

I have DirecTV. They currently aren't one of the providers. Time Warner, Brighthouse, Optimum Cablevision, Dish, and Cox are the only ones listed so far.
