Salt Lake? lol

This is bad for GP.... if he gets a taste and likes it... there goes your centerpiece and about half of your fans.

just the way things are going right now...
-the racing isn't as exciting as WSBK... Rossi has said so publicly...
-the cost is mounting... kawi pulled out... Dorna had to sponsor the team so they'd have enough bikes to fill the grid
-Honda provides motors to about half the field but now is putting a rev limiter on every bike but the factory bikes... so no privateer will have a fighting chance

I've also heard rumors honda and a few other privateers were gonna pull out... there needs to be big change for the series to be wildly successful again... with WSBK blossoming... and the cost mounting for MotoGP.... it doesn't give a good forcast

That big bang Yamaha is fast as fuck... I'm sure the rider helps too.

I keep hoping Biaggi will bin it... No such luck though.

no real competition, no real benefit to retail bikes, factory pull out

Spies is kickin' azz and I'm glad to see it. American on a Yamaha...works for me.

In the past I've been more of a Moto GP fan but that has changed. I still like GP racing but WSBK is just more fun to watch imho.

I do hope Rossi stays out front.
