its going too rain all weekend at the brickyard indi

Farcical scenes at Indy yesterday.

Race red-flagged after 20 laps (from 2icon_cool.gif. Under normal rules, that would have pushed the race passed the point where the result is declared "as stands".

As they pull into the garage, Dorna suggest a 6-8 lap sprint race to finish, despite banners, advertising hoardings and hospitality tents all collapsing around the track and in the paddock.

Rossi and Stoner tell the Dorna organisers how stupid their idea is and, eventually, the result is declared as stands.

250cc race was called off as well.

Call me cynical, but if yesterday hadn't been the 'first race in a new and very lucrative market', Rossi would have been on the podium within five minutes of parking up in the garage.

Well done to Nicky Hayden as well, a good result on his 'home' track and in front of the Honda Racing boss. He'll do well at Ducati next year.

so casey still has a chance

In the same way that I've still got a chance should I decide to turn up in Japan on my push bike.

The most Casey can get now is 100 points. In the same time, Rossi would have to score less than 14 to give Stoner the title.

The Doctor also passed Aggo's record for wins in the top class yesterday, so well done to him.

Rossi needs one more point to secure the title


Game over Casey.

So whos is going to replace Nicky at Honda then, rumour mill

Thought it was 14? He's 87 in front with 4 races left isn't he?

Dovizioso.

Suzie Perry with the smutyest line of the week when whilst taking about the weather said 'Its easy when its all wet to slip out the back' I honestly nearly chocked to death on my coffee!!

Im a Randy man myself............(Mamola,of course)

casey still fighting till the end

To no avail though. Never mind, I'm sure it was the bike's fault, or the tyres, or one of his mechanics ruining the set-up, etc...

its been 32 years for a pom

wheres the other ducatis????

its all caseys fault

lets winge about wingeing

The other Ducati genuinely does have the unluckiest man in motorsport riding it. Stoner is just Doohan Mark II, a good rider on the fastest bike, being billed as something overly special when he's actually not.

troy baylis won a motogp race on the one an only race he race on the ducati. why cant others do it . ?? other than aussies

So I take it you've only been watching Moto GP post 2004 then?



I'm pretty sure Loris Capirossi isn't Australian, and Gibernau also showed promise before your mate Stoner fancied his bike and took him out.

Shane Byrne won the British Superbike Championship (on a Ducati funnily enough) this weekend at Silverstone.

He'll be off to the Sterilgarda Ducati satellite team next season, along with a few other BSB riders graduating to the world stage.

Tom Sykes will ride for Yamaha whilst Cal Crutchlow will be on the Yamaha in Supersports.

baylis won a motogp race on a ducati

I hear Biaggi and Gibernau are coming back to MotoGP next year.
