Not long till the first race in what should be a facinating season.Can Stoner do it again?Will the 250 boys make the grade in moto gp?Can Rossi affford his 35,000,000 euro tax fine?
Pre season has been interesting,Hayden back on form,Rossi recovered and on michelins,Toseland lapping decent times and Stoner still quick as usual.What odds on Lorenzo(bridgestone) riding into Rossi's pit?
Only Pedrosa is a doubt for the first ever floodlit GP in Qatar,the pictures from practise this week are stunning,in the 125's Bradley Smith has been flying on his Aprilla and i fancy a top finish from him this year.

I think Stoner still has a edge on the rest of the field.

It's been interesting that Yamaha and Kawasaki have been pushing for the introduction of rev limiters lately - I think they've realised that the Ducat bike is much more capable that what they've been able to come up with.

For some reason, I'm not convinced that Rossi's switch to Bridgestone will be the end of his problems.

The first race is at night in Losail, Qatar. I'm looking forward to this one. I hope James Toseland does very well this season.

A lot of variables thrown in - Toseland hopefully will have a good season, Pedrosa will be there or thereabouts, Rossi will be wanting his crown back more than ever, Hayden's gone well in testing, Stoner will be looking to match his 07 form. Should be a belting season, and good luck to Bradley Smith, with a big team in the 125 this year.

I'm hoping Nicky Hayden has a better year this time than the last year which was not that good at all. John Hopkins will hopefully go well too. I wonder if Rossi will get his crown back this year or will Stoner win again ?

The Aussie will win it again.

Thats just what we do.

Apparently if James Toseland wins the title Suzi Perry will strip naked and stand on the podium. That I would like to see.

She surely didn't actually say that?

It wouldn't be the first time (if a certain type of "tube" is to be believed).



Not that I would recommend typing her name and the word "leaked" into a search engine

She said it in the Daily Star Sunday newspaper. It's a safe bet to know that it won't happen as Toseland is on the satellite team and not the full factory bike.

I've seen that video and she'll have known about being filmed.

What time,date and channell is it on?


i usually watcg highlights but i'm really into motorsport at the miute so i'd like to watch it live!

March 9th at 11pm.

Is that for the race? Sounds awfully late for a live showing, I'd have thought 11am for a night race in the middle East.

5:15pm on Eurosport on Sunday according to [url=http://www.livesportontv.com/sportindex.php?id=5this[/url

Stoner will be tough to beat this season, his bike looked very fast in Jerez and its the same bike as last year.

Rossi will find it hard going again and will drift off unfortunately i think

Pedrosa is definetely the man to watch this season, think he will run Stoner close

Anyone making the trip to Donnington this year then?

According to the MotoGP site it's on at 11pm.

Thats right,125 at 8pm,250 at 9.15pm to.

What channel is it on BBC or Eurosport? I've seen it on both previously.

Eurosport is the 7.45 one im taping,BBC2 are showing highlights at about 11.45,they may have live on the red button though.

Sorry, bit of crossed wires, I think. Just checked and it's 11pm local time, I thought you meant the time over here.

For us, it's a 20.00 start, so I'm assuming Eurosport have it live, BBC2 is definitely only highlights.

I did mean 11pm our time which I thought strange as I thought it was supposed to be a Saturday night race. It's a shame BBC2 can't give us an hour to show the race. Eurosport it is then.

Not a good start for Hayden and Pedrosa.

They've had a pretty forgettable pre-season as it is, now Honda are flying in two 2007 bikes ahead of Sunday's GP.

BBC site are showing all the races live

BBC3 also has the Moto GP on live.
