Moto GP 2015 -

Qatar MotoGP Test

Ducati's fastest again? Didnt see that coming.. Shall be interesting this season.
Really excited.

I'm not, I find it dull, world superbikes is a much more level playing field where a lot more riders on a bike that could win.

Moto2 is superb racing. Moto GP lost its way a few years ago as the bikes got too much electronics. Rossi agrees with me!

 

[EP3 James]

Moto2 is superb racing indeed, but i just love MotoGP as well.

 

[Steveo@modifiedni]

I love the racing of WSB and BSB a hell of a lot more than MotoGP, however, there's something quite special about watching Mr. Marquez, Lorenzo and Rossi on the limit.

 

[EP3 James]

There really is.

The duc's were fast last year too, the problem seemed to be they couldn't last race distance

I notice DP was left out of the mix there...rightly so!

 

[EP3 James]

Theyre really quick atm in testing which is really good to see. Will make the battle up top that bit better.

 

[Peje]

If only they'd been quick when Cal was on them!

 

[fabiostar]

the dukes have always been quick over a lap or two but eat tyres and steer like boats...

Haha, exactly, problem is he's not exciting. At least Marc and company are thrilling to watch!

What's everyones predictions for the weekend? I'm gonna be ballsy and say Valentino to win - he goes pretty well at this circuit!

 

[Peje]

I have no idea, gonna have to avoid this topic til the following weekend. Heading to Portugal for a week on Friday so I'll not get to see it til I'm back

wsb makes a mockery of mgp

its like f1 now ... predictable

[EP3 James]

Still thrilling to watch imo but can understand what you're saying..

 

[nobby]

very talented riders dont get me wrong ... nice to see rossi, marquez etc
but its just f1 on 2 wheels
at least wsb has been active in making rules changes that open the playing field and there is >6-7 riders in with a shout at winning whereby in gp there would be 1/2 that no

 

[EP3 James]

yeah i agree in that sense.. think f1 is a bit more one sided opposed to motogp but can see why youd say that though! None the less, motor racing is racing and i love it all

 

[svensktoppen]

MotoGP is better than F1 for sure. Definitely enjoy MotoGP. Comparing it to BSB (which is excellent) is like comparing F1 with BTCC (also excellent). Apples and oranges and all that, one does not exclude the other

 

[EP3 James]

Ducati on pole.. who woulda thought that lol. Exciting race day

 

[S2K-Aaron]

Forza Vale!

 

[nobby]

Wow!
Script re written for both sports today!
There's a pulse there for sure
One of the best mgp for awhile now

 

[J_Mc_G]

Who has the coverage rights for it now? Are the races not live anymore and anyone know when/if the highlights are shown on terrestrial? Ta.

 

[Hel]

BT and uTorrent

 

[nobby]

itv4 do a highlights programme

bt sports has the rights to motogp now

 

[EP3 James]

stayed away from this all yesterday to watch the highlights.. whata race! That duc though? No tyres fading away in that race! And the hondas?? didnt see that coming

 

[Hel]

From last to 5th isnt bad pace its just bad luck. Dani is fked and was never going to win anyway. I wouldnt write them off.

Great job for Rossi though, just shows anyone of these top boys can bang in a fast lap but being a good racer is something else!

Looking forward to the first proper Rossi vs Marquez battle yet.
