Moto GP

Well it's not on the list of other sports and beside football this is my main love, i am a huge Valentino Rossi fan (just had another tattoo done with Rossi stuff!) I can't think of a sport as exciting to watch as this, it's fast, loud, hard and dangerous, i think it's more of a Eurpoean sport but last few years it has been growing in the US i think Nicky Hayden helped a heap with that, i remember watching the Laguna Seca GP and Tom Cruise was there also Brad Pitt so must be getting some attention. Also as of last year the bikes are now racing at Indianapolis too, keep your eye's peeled, may be a lot more US riders on their way. Have to say though i love Colin Edwards "the Texas Tornado" such a funny cool guy, hope he stays in Moto GP for a few more years yet!

i can't say i follow this, but when it is on tv i do love to watch it. anything involving a race is good in my book...except NASCAR...that's pretty boring most of the time.

Your xbox username is now beginning to make sense...I always thought you were a huge Giuseppe Rossi fan or something.

ya that was my guess too, so i guess we were both WAY off the mark. haha

Quick 1m30sec final lap, one of the finest final laps ever

Here's an interesting pic from 08 you guy's will recognise

If Diego supports it, it's good enough for me. I'll need to check it out next time it's on ESPN.

that was a sick video! i can't believe that's how it ended! that was quite the battle...i would've loved to witness that live!

Was an awesome fight, going on all the way through the race, those 2 hated each other too, Rossi was always number 1, Gibernau hated him for that, was always heated when those two were close on track, Gibernau retired end of that year, he's making a come back this year so could get a bit heated again! Saying that last year Laguna Seca battle beetween Rossi and Stoner was almost as good!

wow that race was dirty too. rossi is gutsy though...i could never wheelie down the home stretch. i'd be so nervous of crashing before the finish line hahaha!!

2 US races again this year, Nicky Hayden the Us biggest hope has just moved on to the Ducati so he could be up the front end again this year!

You want to see exciting.....

No one was hurt but it put my feet in my mouth when i saw it, watch to the left of th screen

I can't understand how nobody was hurt in that crash...obviously i'm happy about it though. i could never professionally race anything for those very reasons.

There were a couple of broken bones but nothing life threatening, they all went on to race later that same year
