everything in the para ignored.

in the past Kawasaki and suzuki have fielded more than 2 riders. Repsol Honda too have a prectice of having more than 2 riders in the doohan era, and not too long ago with good ole teddy Okada who was developing the Honda. this with Hayden and Pedrosa being regualrs. but the cost and sponsorship is a bit of hitch these days.

i dont understand one thing though. and should be pointed out. how come they do Laguna go back to europe and back to Indy. would it not make sense to go to Indy from California? espcially when you are cutting cost?

^^ May be because of the fact that some tracks have their tradition of holding the race event at a particular time of the year.
One such example was Assen where the tradition says the race event has to happen on the last Saturday of the month of June (as told by the commentator on the race day)

Quoting my own post looking for an answer.

You sure do know how to instigate a fire in a seemingly smooth going thread. Don't be a troll and don't feed a troll, pal.

@sukant: No offenses pal but please don't start it again. People here are ready for something to come out so that they start firing eventually transforming into mudslinging.

Not counting out Lorenzo for this one but we have to consider that this year would be only his second appearance on the track and also last year he had a horrendous crash here. So just that Lorenzo would want to keep it smooth rather than pushing hard on a track which he barely knows and screw up his chances for the championship.

There is nice free video on the official motogp site:

No offencde taken bro !! I understand what u mean, but can't a man have sum fun after a long days work !!

And regading more than 2 bikes, its just that manufacturers think thats an optimum mumber for a cost/points compomise. More bikes mean more managers, crew chiefs and that add to the cost !! But Suzuki did field 3 factories last year in a cupl of races, so there definitely isnt a rule against it !!

But Saif , remember u have been warned!!

Last year Vermeulen was third, a distant third !!

And talkin bout predictions, lets do some interesting pedictions !!!
Wich lap do u think Pedosa will fall off ??

P.S : @Soul ; Mate, it wasn't a dig at ya .... just some "other" pple hu have posted in some "other" threads !!

Ohh yes, seems this forum is going the "whining" way

!
Personally i feel Stoner is down and there is no competition from him, its lorenzo vs rossi all the way to the championship

Laguna Seca !!

Whoa !! Anyone else was awake watching the qualifiers ??

Interesting qualifier. Jorge and Stoner both crashed !!! But not before setting the pole and 3rd position respectively !! Rossi was going in and out of pits a lots of time, but just cudn't get that perfect setting right !! I think Rossi was struggling this session !!

But the big news is Stoner and Lorenzo both crashed ! Lorenzo twice in fact !! He has damaged both his left shoulder and right knee I guess, cudn't put any weight on that leg. Stoner was taken away in a stretcher !!

As the TVS ad says, to beat the best you need some divine intervention!! I just think Rossi just got his !! Because going by this session, he clearly wasn't the best !!

Anyways, lets hope all of them start the race tomorrow !!

Missed the qualifiers

. Which channel was it coming? I switched on to Ten Sports at 2.30 (as given in the motogp schedule) but it was airing some live golf tournament.

It was a delayed telecast, the qualies were already over when they started showing it. At 3:30.

Even the race on Tensports is scheduled at 3:30 , even that will be a delayed one I think.
Try looking for the live race on some other channel.

Cricket>MotoGP

**joe350** · 07-05-2009, 03:28 PM

when is the race? is it today?
for me, motogp is much more superior than the cricket.

Yes. I am an Indian

.

J/ks apart, I meant that the match winds up early so that Ten Sports can show the race live and not delayed.

being an Indian you should be more influenced towards Hockey, why going after Cricket(the game from england). so rating the foreigners game, i like motogp more than cricket.

so when is the next race? anyone could tell me that. it was told that the race will be held 8 days after the previous race, couldnt find the race timing in todays newspaper.

**sukant08** · 07-05-2009, 05:36 PM

heh heh heh .... in India, if a cricketer has a constipation, showing about that will take precedence over any other sport ! I guess we'll have to live with it !!
But then in India, cricket is the biggest sport no doubt about it, so it'll always have a dominant presence !! But then, every contry has a dominant sport, and perhaps in Spain and Italy, where bike racing is the most popular sport (yes, even more than soccer, bull fighting, F1 and tomato wrestling) !!
There might be say hockey fans, hu wud be having the same conversation as we !!

And on a brighter side, race is Live on Star Sports at 2:00, and perhaps if its good, we can watch it again on tensports @ 3:30 !!

**saif71184** · 07-05-2009, 05:48 PM

Damn...i dont have Star Sports, i guess the match finishes around 3:30 so do we have a delayed telecast on Ten?
