Motogp 2009.
We get pretty good coverage here. I watched the race live with no ad breaks, and it was repeated later in the day for those who didn't get up early. coverage of the 125 & 250 races as well but i didn't see those.
No wsbk coverage for us this year unless you pay. Its on satellite, but i believe you can pay ££4 a month to eurosport and watch online. May consider that if its on demand, but live wouldn't be much use as i'm never in.

The first SBK race yesterday was a CRACKER!!!! Over here in the States, we don't get the 125's for 2-3 days after the race and is on at like 2-3AM.
Only races over here that are Live are the 2 US GP's and "some" of the AMA's.

In OZ we are lucky to have Daryl Beatie as a co-comintator,this is one guy who should know what he is talking about, at his best he was taking it to Doohan week in week out,
his comment on Rossi's move, he gave 11/10ths and it stuck, it's all about commitment
You don't often see the riders as sick as Casey after a race, man i thought the guy was going to pass out
6 rounds, 3 riders on 106 points , who was it that said Moto GP was boring???

Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "includes spoilers"...Some of us don't get to see the race until 2pm as it is now 12:30pm. I just guess that's how it is living at the end of the day..... so to speak
I don't have cable to watch superbikes so I know what it's like trying
to avoid finding out who won... can't turn on anything electronic, no
radio/tv/computer/etc, can't walk past a newspaper, can't meet anybody
without introducing yourself as "Hi I haven't watched the race yet so
don't tell me"
So I won't say here exactly what happened.
The local radio did say exactly what happened and who did what,
on this morning's radio news broadcast
while I was riding to work so I'm glad
I did stay up late to watch it last night! (can't turn it off easily while riding)
Hell, you HAVE to watch this race though! Yes, it was mega awesome.
I reckoned this year that Lorenzo would keep his speed, but get rid
of some crashes, leading to a 3-way title fight between him and
Lorenzo and Stoner, and so far in the season it has been that way.
As much as I respected Rossi's speed and abilities, it's a more interesting
season than we've had in years

I enjoyed yasterdays race, although I have seen better. Another silly mistake by lorenzo spoiled what could have been a good finish. It was interesting to see the airbag suit in action. When lorenzo got up he looked like the incredible hulk. I have to wonder how long it would have taken him to get upto speed again had his bike been upto it, as the suit seemed slow to deflate.
We're getting into silly season now. Some new riders coming into the class now so i guess a few riders are going to be leaving. I expect Toseland will be one of them, A shame really as he made quite a promising start last year. I hear Ducati are chasing Lorenzo now following the honda announcement that they dont want him. Question is, is Lorenzo a team mate or a replacement for Stoner?

I agree. I think it needs a manual "quick deflate" button ...I enjoyed yasterdays race, although I have seen better. Another silly mistake by lorenzo spoiled what could have been a good finish.

it'd be reasonably easy to design one that wouldn't be
accidentally activated in a crash.
Seems like the airbags did the job protecting him though.

lol. Hi there Teego. I'm afraid you are right. Who could forget the curse. I love it when the world embraces such things. Perhaps that is their power also. The phrases such as Gibers luck.... And he's got the gibers, cracked me up. Rossi certainly is the brain screw mister, although his relationship with Casey seemed to be of on more equal footing. That is until he fell off the perchTeego wrote:Well, Rossi screwed Gibernau's head, then little Casey's head, then baby Dani's head and on Sunday he put Jorge's head in the juicer. Game over this season. Again.

i've been watching Moto Gp for a while now, i think i missed when Rossi screwed with Casey's head, if i'm not mistaken, didn't Stoner win a world championship,
I know you all think Rossi is the king, and his results speak for themselves, but somthing about his attitude to his serious compeditors really rubs me up the wrong way
