Now that Mercedes part own MV Augusta and Cagiva might these companies return to MotoGP, it would be great to have MV back.

iv just watched the lastest moto gp event and boy o boy was it a race in the end my favourite rider dani pedrosa fell off on the last lap!!!and he could of won it but it was a a brilliant race!!!

I've just watched the portugul moto gp live! one of the most exciting races i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just proves how rubbish f1 cars are too watch.

For the third year in a row, the MotoGP World Championship gets started when the starting lights go out and the floodlights light up the Losail Circuit outside the Qatari capital of Doha, with Honda

Casey Stoner (Ducati) powered to victory here at Losail with Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) second and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) third. This was a convincing win for the Italian factory

No other words will do Good night hairy racer dude, on the way to being a legend.

I can't be the only one who thinks Hondas offer to build ( and sell ) "production" versions of the RCV is a great idea.Apparently HRC say they could build as many as were needed whether it was 10,20 or 30!.Teams could buy them for about a million including spares backup and would have a bike faster than any of the CRT teams without having to spend on development.Some people are worried that Honda would have too much influence on Dorna given that they supply the Moto2 engines and about 75% of the Moto3 ones.I would suggest that it might spur Yamaha to do the same and perhaps it would help Suzuki if they knew they could generate income which they could put back into develop…

French Grand Prix at Le Mans Sunday May 20, 2007 MELANDRI COLLECTS USEFUL POINTS HAUL IN DELUGE This was a rain-sodden MotoGP showdown that put nerve and skill at a premium and it was Chris Vermeulen (Suzuki) who showed the required credentials to win from Marco Melandri (Gresini Honda RC212V) with Casey Stoner (Ducati) third. With rain threatening, the lights on the grid went out and a crowd of 74,000 watched with some trepidation as the field barreled into turn one with specks of moisture dotting the competitors

Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) won this Spanish Grand Prix from Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) with Colin Edwards (Yamaha) third. In front of a passionate 138,000 crowd in perfect racing conditions, this race was never quite as close as the tight-fought qualifying session promised it might be. Dani hit turn one in the lead from pole with Rossi right on his rear tyre and Edwards just behind. With track temperature at 31 degrees and with a 19 degree ambient temperature the atmosphere was set for a close contest. Especially when Rossi slipped past Dani at the first hairpin to take the lead. Nicky Hayden (Repsol Honda RC212V) was up to fourth after start…

Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park Sunday April 22, 2007 ELIAS FIGHTS TO SECOND, DANI TAKEN OUT ON LAP ONE A dramatic MotoGP race unfolded in front of a 40,000 crowd here at Istanbul Park with Casey Stoner (Ducati) winning from Toni Elias (Gresini Honda RC212V) with Loris Capirossi (Ducati) third. But a first lap incident took Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) out of the race. Elias started from 10th on the grid after a mediocre qualifying performance, but his race efforts were huge and he willed himself through the field to the podium although he could not catch the runaway Stoner. In sunny conditions with negligible wind, 23 degrees ambient temp…

Hi, having watched a lot of road/track racing through the years, I am becoming more incredulous at the recent riding styles of late. Back in the fifties and sixties TOP riders such as M Hailwood etc used to ride very tidily and tucked in. The tyres of the day were by no means as good as those in use today, even for the lower power outputs available then, bearing in mind that the rider used the THROTTLE to control the rear wheel, not traction control and ABS systems. Why is it that 'knee-down' became the fashion, I thought at the time it became popular that it was 'posing', especially when ordinary road riders started doing it, claiming it was essential. to keep this missi…

The points gap is now down to 21 between Rossi and Hayden, is Rossi close enough to take another World title? Or could Pedrossa find his lost form and do it? My money would be on Rossi but it's going to be one hell of a scrap now.

Must have been one of the best MotoGP races of all time to date. For those who missed the dice in the final laps of Yamaha team mates Rossi and Lorenzo was something I havent seen since 500 GP days. To see these guy swap the lead corner after corner in the final lap was simply amazing, and it could have ended in tears if one rider took the other out, real heart in the mouth stuff. The skill level went up a notch watching this, super-human skill pushing the bikes to the limits in 40degC something heat. Whats more is Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner are on 106 points each in the championship, some competitive racing to come for the next 7 rounds! Who's your money one for this …

You have to hand it to Rossi, he may be older than most MGP riders, he may be amongst the tallest, but he can still cut the mustard and show most how it’s done. Good coverage from Channel 5 and the commentary plus Hodgkinson was very entertaining in my opinion.?? Well done Rossi. Cal Crutchlow gave a storming performance, keep it up ????

I was just getting to the stage where i could start to give him a bit more credit ( other than his natural talent) and he goes and confirms what i always thought of him! He always used to laugh it off when he was "firm" against other riders but he can't handle it when he's on the receiving end can he? Lin Jarvis said in his statement that Valentino's not a dirty rider.......i suspect Sete Gibernau would disagree. When Jorge started beating him on the Yamaha we had the nonsense of the split garage and engineers not sharing data,then he said they couldn't both be in the same team so he ran away to Ducati, now he's threatening that he might not ride in valencia ( boo hoo)...…

Just saw this ! made me laugh! what on earth was it about ? was he really far infront or something ? and did he still win ??

Rossi took the win at Assen with Stoner runner up and Hayden third. Well done Valentino!
