    btw anybody got their hands on fastest/closer to the edge?
    The DVD is out in US, 25$ for it, bad time to buy (51Rs to a $ ). You might get a, the forbidden word, torrent soon But I would go for an original anyways. Any chance of the movie releasing in India in the theatres?

        Not liking it Toni has had his chance going into motogp after winning moto2 earlier. Now time to give chances to other younger talent.
        But one thing is there that riders have learned moto2 class for two years and might give a good fight to Toni. And if Toni doesn't win it then he'll taint his career more...
        Toni isn't gonna dominate so easily..., Marquez vs Toni should be good...add Ianone to the mix and expect some awesome battles...

        I feel sad for him though..., few days back I was reading ring of fire (rick broadbent - awesome book), once after watching a race, a young lad who goes by the name of casey stoner mentioned to chaz davies(his training partner) that he wishes to be able to ride like Elias some day..., how the times change!!

        oh & RdP is being linked with some Aprilia CRT...he tested it...

        thats indeed good news..., much needed to survive the long off-season..,
        closer to edge is not gonna come to India (I asked on twitter)...., Fastest doesn't seem probable too...if it comes and pray to the mighty lord that it does..I would watch multiple shows...bike racing on big screen...

          @prabhu: How I wish but am just an armchair enthusiast bro and happy being just that
          @king:
          There is one more book to look for "The Masterpiece" that will be launched in coming days. It talks about Rossi's 7 years stay in Yamaha, how Furusawa, Rossi, JB worked towards building a multiple championship winning bike.

              Gpone.com reported about the book:
              Il Capolavoro" di Valentino Rossi

              MelBookStore - Librerie

              Looks like it is in Italian, I hope it'll be translated as his previous one.
              Google Translated some of the description:
              turday, November 19 at 17.30
              presentation of the book on Valentino Rossi 's masterpiece of Enrico Borghi GraniEPartners addition to the author, will speak at Davide Brivio , PR Manager, Officer Valentine Why began this adventure? And why is it over? This book tells stories never revealed, revealing details never told - even about the dramatic step of Valentino in Ducati - reads events from a new point of view and privileged: what of those who lived these adventures starring.

                    My bad Google Chrome plugin automatically translated the page and I thought the name of the book is itself in English.
                    Last book itself gave a lot of inside secrets (Rossi meeting Furusawa secretly in the track medical center in the night, Rossi checking the M1 before breaking the honda contract, etc.), this also seems to be doing the same

                        ^^There was a free video of the same on www.motogp.com the day after the Valencia GP.

                        Not sure if its still there or not.
                        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                          Oh ok! Had missed seeing that

                          So finally RdP staying in MotoGP with Aspar on an Aprillia powered bike. Now there are three big names on CRT bikes Colin, Ant West, and RdP.
                          Really eager to see what times does the aprillia bike can do. Hopefully better than other CRTs...

                            So only 6 non -crt bikes next year??

                            just three factory teams......
                            Instead they should have found a solution where other factory can participate too.

                              Their sole motive is to make the motogp racing cheaper so that they can attract privateers in the league.
                              The interview with Carmelo Ezpeleta posted earlier in the thread explains all the problems and reasons why they want to go the CRT way.

                              It is because of the factories running the motogp racing and also the rules and regulations that has made it so costly for the private teams as well as relatively smaller factories to compete in the league.
