any bike fans around? what do you think of the first few rounds in wsb and toselands performance in quatar

tiswas · 03-13-2008, 04:58 AM

Toseland made a seemingly effortless transition to MotoGP. As for the Quatar GP, well, I would say the other teams are still going to play catch up to Ducati this season.

once he gets the new engine he'll reel in stoner and rossi as qatar isn't suited to a bike which carries good corner speed but lacks the straight line speed, but it will be hard as stoner looked pretty invincible, lorenzo could have a say as well

Not sure I agree with the flood light environment, what did you think of it?

I will be attending the Singapore F1 GP in September to see for myself, although will be slightly different due to it being a street circuit.

i think it was a help in a strange way as it showed the whole track without any apparent shadows that you may get from the sun, it was certainly a great race and just shows that if you bet a good set up you stand a great chance, fgor a bit of fun i enterd a fantasy team in mcn and was disgusted with pedrosa's qualifying but his race pace at the start before stoner and lorenzo got going was prety amazing. but it ahd to be at night as obviously the temps in the day will be far to hot for racing so it was ahappy comprimise

Still, I thought that there were just too many out of the ordinary shadows when going round the circuit. I'm not sure if this had any effect on the riders or not? I've not heard any complaints. I agree about the race at night & taking part in the heat of the day but F1 do it in Bahrain.

yes and look how many tyres they go through, you can't really changet tyres on a motor bike quickly esp the rear so they have to nurse them through the 20 or so laps and in the extreme heat of the desert that wouldn't be feasable in favt it's only really a severe cahnge in conditions that you see them forced into a change, it's just ba shame we have to wait so long for the next race in portugal

When is the next race in Potugal & is it a Saturday or a Sunday? I got caught out on a couple of races that were on a Saturday last season.

toonmagic9 · 03-19-2008, 10:29 PM

not sure the first few are normally on a sunday before they confuse everyone

I see the Superbikes next round will be April 6 Valencia, Spain.

MotoGP is in Jerez, Spain on the 30th Sunday.

Both good times for me as well to watch.
