  • Yamahas seriously have the edge over Hondas in the track. I would place my bet on Jorge and YES, Spies. The man oozed out confidence until the crash yesterday. Something about that original factory Yamaha colors spurs him up. Rossi, I am thinking 5 or 6 with Simoncelli behind him and Doviziozo in front.

    By the by, that rear tyre of 46's bike flying was insane! (Take off? )

    Nice read: 2011 Laguna Seca MotoGP Saturday Round Up - An Untouchable Lorenzo, And The Perils Of Electronics?

    Speaking of the support classes, there will be a round of the combined FIM e-Power and TTXGP championships for electric motorcycles at Laguna Seca. The progress of these bikes is simply amazing: Steve Rapp qualified on pole for Sunday's race with a lap of 1'31.376, 10 seconds off Lorenzo's pole time, and fast enough for the front row of the AMA Supersport class - a class for younger riders on Superstock-spec 600s. As this is just the second full year of competition for the class, these bikes are coming on in leaps and bounds, and though Rapp is seriously quick rider, his Mission Motorsports Mission R machine is closing in on the performance of a traditional combustion-engine powered racing machine. The gaps are huge in the class, though, as the 2nd place man Michael Barnes is over 6 seconds slower than Rapp, his Lightning still a way off Rapp's Mission R. If progress continues at this pace, electric bikes could soon be properly competitive, and we head into a radically different future.

        • Laguna Seca 2011 belongs to Lorenzo.
          (just hoping his crash doesn't get in his way)

          with VR starting from the third row... with a good start...
          i see him working his way up to 3rd position by the 3rd corner.

          i'm thinking Dani could do well too with it being a lefty track.

          so i'll put my money on jLo or Pedrosa.

          and a podium for the Doc.

            • Cricket? Don't get me started on a game where 11 people dressed in funeral white robs are chasing a cherry & the crowd goes bonkers.

                    • Hey , please no comments on cricket..
                      Its my fav game, played it all my life. But seriously hate it when they broadcast ten cricket instead of ten sports on a race day.

                      Edit:

                      • Yes, no discussion about any game, as we are here to discuss about sports.

                            This is the very reason I got myself Digital TV connection with all the sports channels enabled. Doesn't matter if the 'saas bahu' channels aren't there in my scheme.

                            Search google with these keywords, you will get good links:
                            "motogp laguna seca live streaming"

                            With these links, now a days, I am able to see all the sessions FP1 to Race itself. I keep the streaming also on whenever I get a link with EuroSports channel. I really like the commentary by TobyMoody and co.
