Anybody watch the Moto GP race?
What a race, swapping 2nd place back and fourth with a 4 man finish. All 4 riders within .3 seconds of each other!!! I would put the order but won't just incase someones taping it. I will say that 3 out of 4 of the top 4 were HONDA!!

Nicky's line through turn 1 was the fastest, but also sucked the most for passing. He kept running up on the back tire of whoever was in front of him and just tried to ride around the outside due to his apex being Waaaaay late every time.

that was a fantastic race! Nicky looked like he was going to get dropped like the late-race Nicky of old. Then something sparked him and he just outraced that cocky little spaniard for third!
Laguna is going to be spectacular. Valentino, Colin and Nicky are all planning to win. They can't afford to let Nicky run away with it this year. Rossi is gonna be tough to beat and Colin knows how to be fast there. I saw two fantastic WSB battles with him and Troy Bayliss ('02 was it?)
I can't believe I get to be there for the race of the season!!!
Goooo Nicky!!

Lucky SOB!! Yep that's going to be a very important race for everyone involved, which should make it that much more exciting to watch. Don't worry I'll be parked in front of my 62" Mitsubishi.....too bad it's on speed and not ABC. ABC is going to air it like a week later or some BS. I could NOT believe speed ran a freaking commercial on the last friggin lap WTF!!!!!!
Oh and +1 GOOOO Nicky!!

there going down to 800 to "slow down the speed for safety" but ducatis 800 which has already released there dyno # and their just as high as this year. I think the racing will be just as good, I just don't think there going to be able to slow these bikes down with out going to 500cc 4-strokes because there just going to make the tech better and better.
