      Exactly what I wanted to say about the sponsorship part! (even if it means losing a little prestige and value in the market) In the end we all want competitive racing.

      Happy New Year to all folks out here.
      RIP Marco Simoncelli! You will not be forgotten!

            that is difficult to predict..., normally GP racers come back from collarbone injury in 3 weeks...but looking at the image Dovi posted on twitter...it appears bad.., the whole upper body seems to be in a cast...

            Also, yamaha finds a new oil sponsor..., Good for them and the sport...

              Yup just saw the article for Dovi. Wow! that body cast looks like an armor

              So do we have an orange Yamaha this season ?

              Also Bradl will run number 6 on his bike for this season.

                  also..., any news about vale testing with Ducati....??,

                  now that the testing ban is off with new year..., IMHO they should have gone full steam ahead right from the day-1...,
                  they do have that PR event..., Vroom(??)..., from 9th to 14th

                  also Dovi gets a tattoo dedicated to Sic...,

                  So do we have an orange Yamaha this season?
                  I kinda liked the 2010/2011 yamaha..., if they do orange..it would be all similar shades...repsol honda(orange)/ducati(red) etc..., maybe they should run with the 50th aniversary colours....

                    Valentino, in the movie Fastest, gave a very nice explanation why even a small accident on MX causes bones to break compared to small ones on race track.

                    Don't remember his full comment to quote him here.

                    Fastest IMO was a biased movie. There were many more things that happened in the 800cc era apart from Rossi...

                      It was a Rossi fanboy movie !

                      And the comment was " In GP u crash u slide u escape injury .. in MX U crash U stop .. Bang "

                        agreed....., its something to do with the whole Impulse/Force thing..., about how your momentum is changed..., that is also why road accidents are more dangerous than track accidents...,

                        Fastest was particularly boring if you had followed past 5-6 years of motogp (that includes everybody here)..., it was more of an account of what happened rather than behind the scenes stuff..., and I couldn't believe that Dani was given no importance in the movie...,
                        it would be a great movie for someone new to the series and for future motogp followers..., (maybe for kids of this generation...)

                        Closer to edge was better though...

                          @suren: Exactomundo
                          Momentum comes to an abrupt halt in motocross terrain hence more impact where as racetrack it happens gradually.

                            Yet to watch Fastest but i thought Faster was much much better than Closer to the Edge

                              it still is worth watching(fastest)...., (if you don't know where to get it - PM me)...

                              goodnews: hayden won't need surgery for his injuries... (via twitter)

                              and capirossi talking about tyres....
                              Safety officer Capirossi weighs in on MotoGP tyres | MotoGP News | Jan 2012 | Crash.Net

                              There were problems with serial numbers too. With that number you can figure out when the tyre was built. A tyre built two years ago can't go as quick as one built last week. Some riders had the new tyres and some others the old ones. That's not okay, that must be fixed: I want the last rider to have the same possibilities the first one has."
