Ya... but still it will be the end of a era... this is the last time anyone will see the 2 strokes... anyways I guess the moto3 prototypes will be only firming up by August/ September...Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

Heart Felt Congrats to Team Ten10 which made India proud, since its not a factory team and they have succeeded. My dream was to hear Indian national anthem in motogp during prize distribution ceremony, It may happen sooner or later, eagerly waiting for it... Kudos to Team Ten10, May god bless the team all the way.Comment

its a good opportunity to showcase the hidden talent in our country to the world...I hope the government gives more recognition and support to develop motorsport...with proper backing, it can mature to the level we see in other countries...we have no dearth of wouldbe Rossis and Doohans in India...its just the opportunity which is lacking...Ten10 racing have made the first step..Congrats to them...Comment

The lack of interest in motorsports among Indians is pretty evident here.. after the intitial euphoria, nobody has posted anything about WTR10Ten or Sharath's 125 cc moto GP experience.Originally posted by aargee View Post
During the 2011 season of the 125 cc MotoGP race, Sharath's lack of experience at the highest level of world racing was visible.. he failed to qualify in the initial races. He did qualify in one race and was the last to complete it.
Post that he pulled out of the 2011 season due to an injury.. he did not feature for the rest of 2011 season. 10Ten did not compete in the 2011 Indian National Road Racing Championship.
By the way Mahindra Racing has taken Sharath under their wings and he is racing for them in an Italian 125 cc championship which should give him the much needed exposure to race with the best in the world.

Hey Payeng; Tks a lot for the updates; appreciate it
Two things that concerns me are...
Why to pull out? Could've found another rider to compete isn't it? Atleast, we could have a proud Indian team in the participation; isn't it?10Ten did not compete in the 2011 Indian National Road Racing Championship

Mahindra could've hired someone with good experience from the planet, but, they still believe in Sharath; isn't it?By the way Mahindra Racing has taken Sharath under their wings and he is racing for them in an Italian 125 cc championshipSkill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Yes, Mahindra needs to be applauded for trying to groom some "desi" talent.. but at the end of the day even for Mahindra they see it as a Business opportunity to make its presence felt among us..Originally posted by aargee View Post
Motorsports has a long long way to go in India.
