dadivorman youre pretty much fail on every count mate,­ from my memory this season lorenzo has been put in his­ place by rossi on more than one occasion. unless you­ have zero memory capacity?

Furthermore why do you­ think lorenzo had 2 crashes in practise at leguna?­ could it be because he is so desperate to keep pace­ with valentino? or let me guess in your opinion he was­ just unlucky..? LOL AT YOU.

as for stoner.....ROFL.

Ultimatelt we need everyone fit and well. If Stoner and­ Lorenzo are both back to their best, Pderosa can­ maintain his current form and Dovisioso can stay­ upright the Sachsenring race should be an absolute­ belter.

For all the people who think it's getting boring (I­ personally think it's heading that way) there is­ something exceptional they could do which may just­ produce the greatest racing of all time....

Put all­ riders from 125s 250s and moto GP into a KTM Red Bull­ Rookies cup style race. All riders on the same­ machinery with the same tyres supplied by dorna with­ one weekend to change the settings to their liking.­

Epic racing will ensue, 125 riders may not have the­ skill and experience of the moto gp guys but that just­ means there'll be more battles through the field.

To all you Rossi haters!!!!!!!!

He will get his 9th­ title!!!! And Allyou will STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stoner by name...

You can't get away from it, not all, but certainly­ most of the races have been processional aside from­ some battles further down the field, occasionally at­ the poium places. We are only just starting to see a­ slight change in this with races getting a little more­ exciting. To comment we have some of the best MotoGPs­ on 800's ever, is to not watch the last 15/20 years­ of the sport. How can a processional race with a­ couple of good battles compare to a race where every­ single lap is a battle? I am a Rossi fan. I would­ never think to belittle the skills of Casey (who I­ don't particularly like) or any other racer. They­ are all amazingly good at their job, or they wouldnt be­ there and those that dont meet the grade lose their­ job. i know we should support our heros, like I do with­ Rossi but I would never ever think of belittling the­ skill of amazing riders. they are something else,­ whether you like them or not. And Rossi is a racer. Yes­ he works magic on two wheels (biased I know, but also­ based on fact :) ) BUT he would be one of the first to­ say he loves a good battle. You can tell the difference­ in how happy he seems on the podium when he has had to­ fight for his position. every racer wants the same a­ good, and well deserved win. A quick comment on the­ riders saving their tyres etc so it becomes more ­ processional..I dont know why it is more processional­ now a days, but I am inclined to agree with Foggy, when­ he says that any rider who makes excuses they were­ saving their tyres is talking @#$%. He goes on to say­ every rider he knew who had the will and commitment to­ win rode at 100% 100% of the time(quote not exact but­ read his book 'Foggy, On Bikes' you'll see­ what I mean)

sounds like stoner got a bug like sheene did all them­ years ago ?

Stoner getting checked out is for the best and he and­ Lorenzo should hopefully be up to full capacity for the­ Sachsenring and with Dani back to his near best the­ next couple of races could be good. Also I think that­ this will probably be Rossi's last chance of­ winning the title as he's reaching a cross over­ point of riding talent between himself and Stoner and­ Lorenzo. The tracks that are coming up suit the Ducati­ and Stoner so if he's fit I think he'll win the­ title this year as it's still very close.

The races in 800 c.c. are surely getting boring,­ especially after the fantastic last season of 990 c.c.­ machines in 2006. This year we could have seen some­ great races, but we were unlucky so far. The 3 top­ riders were rarely in their top form at the same­ day!
It is also nice to see riders like Hayden and­ Capirossi prgoressing, but it is still a very slow­ progression. I am sure that motoGP will reach again a­ level of high competition soon... Let's just hope­ that when it does, they won't change the rules­ again!!!

To say last few seasons are boring is totally­ idiotic.....some of the races from the last two seasons­ are generally regarded as greatest motogp races of all­ time.

what is that telling you?..........go watch­ F1!

boring......seriously what next lol.

I must be getting old ,but can anyone remember the late­ 70's when a certain Barry Sheene said that he was­ ill etc etc ,because Kenny Roberts and Pat Hennen were­ beating him.........mental illness they say now­ ......who knows eh?

has anybody thought about testing stoner for drug­ addiction, looks like he`s going through cold turkey,­ he shouldn`t ride if he`s not well, he is only putting­ the other riders in danger if he has an accident­ because he`s feeling dizzy he could take someone else­ off the track and maybe even kill them because of his­ selfishness.why isn`t the governing body stopping him­ from racing untill he feels better. NO paycheck is ever­ worth someone`s life, his or anyone`s else.

I find it very difficult to constantly read about­ 'processional' racing and it's getting­ boring because someone is winning consistently. What­ is your problem? You can't just diss a sport­ because someone is a regular winner! Stoner, Pedrosa­ and co. have the machinery to take on Rossi, but when­ push comes to shove, they just haven't been able to­ better him. Casey Stoner ran away with the­ championship 2 seasons ago....... I don't recall­ people moaning that he was boring and processional? ­ Give Rossi a break, guys......... he is an absolutely­ inspired racer, who is difficult to catch..... stop­ whinging and fill yer boots up with the magic he­ produces on 2 wheels!! I'm sure his reign will­ come to an end soon enough - I just hope there is­ someone of a similar calibre who can step up to the­ plate, when he does. Let's keep our fingers­ crossed that both Jorge, Casey and Danii can get­ themselves back to 100% and encourage the racing we all­ love.

I have followed all variations of motorcycle racing for­ many years and im afraid MotoGP is becoming F1 on two­ wheels. Ok so you can all comment on the last few laps­ of Catalunya etc, but these close races are few and far­ between. Its just a procession of riders lap after lap.­ I still watch every round in hope of close racing only­ to be dissapointed time after time. Toby and Jules do a­ great job commentating and they often point out that­ the first X amount of places are covered by half a­ second in qualifying, but come race day its the usual­ suspects walking away with it. The 500cc days were much­ better and even though Doohan was winning most of the­ time, the racing was much more exciting with the­ brutish nature of the monster two strokes. The only­ traction/launch control was the riders right hand.­ These days if you want action, 125's are where its­ at.
