    Ok nothing up about this and it's thurs evening!

    A few questions. Last race I was in was the US and I'm now trying to set my sky + up for as much of the races as I can.

    But seems the bloody BBQ has the rights to the live showing of the race. Eurosport has the practice and qualifing. But does no channel do it in HD?

    And who's going to win? Do well or not so well

    Pedrosa for the win and rossi in top 6

    Only way that's happening is if it wet, even then stoner will romp away. If its dry it's between stoner & yourgay. Crutchlow 3rd in the dry.

    Matt, it was the same last year. BBC got the live coverage and Eurosport could run it after it had finished in real time. I think, to my recollection that the BBC ran one race on the HD channel but that was it.

    Rossi is doing well. 8 mins to go and second place in free practice

    Its a wash out and apparently very low crowd numbers due to unemployment in spain, 40% of under 25s are unemployed and of course 100% of them ride bikes so im guessing the crowds are down 40%

    Well done Cal Crutchlow 4th.
    Can't believe Rossi 13th with Hayden 3rd.
    Marc Marquez is only 0.044 off Rossi's time on a Moto2 bike :eek:

    I watched it on the BBC freeview channel 301, freeview box required. They show the Moto2 and Moto3 races on there too

    Those crt bikes just are not quick enough to make the racing better. i love moto gp but with rossi nowhere and no marco it looks like a dull season ahead already. only cal will brighten it up with a few podiums.

    Moto 2 is where the best action happens and this should be the way the premier class should go if it wants real racing back

    Agreed Fez if you think when Toseland was racing if you were one second longer than the first bike then you were in 12th position so these have no chance it will be like the duffers cup and wtf is James Ellison doing in it anyway.

    Did you see Rossi`s face when he came back in to the pits & sat down, he looks like he has lost the will to live, but there must be something up , what with Hayden in 3rd, Rossi has lost his mojo big time !:mad:

    its also worth pointing just how bad the crt bikes are, they are using tuned 1000cc engines and they are going SLOWER than the moto 2 boys with cbr600 engines, granted they have had more development time but its still quite poor
