    Today's commentator inepitude says that apparently taking ice cream from a baby is difficult, whilst taking candy from a baby is easy :rolleyes:

    Fortunately the racing was good though.

    The commentary is laughable it really is!!!!

    Sometimes its hard to imagine that Toseland is a former World Champion, I swear he makes up the majority of the absolute shite he is talking :D

    And as for Greg Haines......there are no words to describe this man :rolleyes:

    Shakey bless him.........trying far too hard to hang on to his youth, first a hair transplant (fair play) but can some one point out that a man approaching 50 should not be wearing super skinny fit jeans ffs!!! :D

    Even the youth dont wear them anymore :rolleyes:

    At least he was pointing out the ridiculousness of them all saying Bautista is only where he is because of the Ducati power and or his weight.

    Ironically most people have now accepted that Ducatis aren't that much more powerful than the other bikes, even in MotoGP, and it is a lot to do with their abillity to use the power in a meaningful way.

    If it was purely down to the power why are the other Ducs not romping home and taking all the podium places? Problem is the commentators have their favourites and base their commentary around that. Who as a spectator/fan wants to see Team orders enforced in bike racing? Toprack kind of stole their thunder by saying he was happy being behind his team mate, it was his race plan and basically acknowledged that he wouldn't be able to match Bautista at Aragon. He even said he was riding to a plan* and knew he had enough to overtake Loca nearer the end of the race.

    *Unlike another rider who said his plan was to start more sensibly and save his tyres for the latter part of the race, but then burnt them out at the start and ended up going backwards.

    Bassani is officially leaving Motocorsa, no mention as to which team he is going to. He has confirmed that there have been talks with Kwak though.

    A title must mean so much more when you have had to work hard for it, and that means having races against other riders that bring out your best, so hats off to Bautista and Toprack for one heck of a title race.

    Roll on next year, hopefully BMW will put out a decent bike and the battle can resume

    I didnt hear anyone say he was out of a ride but glad to see him given another year. One year is never enough but he needs to be doing every round not just European rounds, whst is that all about. How can you compete when you're not doing all the races!!!:rolleyes:

    Looking forward to this season........Iannone will already think he is the best out there, up against Bautista, Toprak, Rea, Bulega, its going to be interesting for sure :)

    Not looking forward to hearing Greg Haines voice or James Toselands stupid explanations of things that are very boring though :rolleyes::D

    How the hell did he manage to bag Katie Melua I'll never know o_O
