MotoGP 19
Finally spring is only days away.
M2 FP2 Luthi walks away from the first huge high side of the season. Jorge looks very happy with the bike. Ducati has some exotic aero stuff this season. Rossi is...Rossi.

Qatar is proving difficult for a bunch of riders. Rossi and Lorenzo missed out on Q1 and turn 2 is catching a lot of people out. Daytime is certainly too hot but that desert night is proving very cold.

Thanks for the reminder. My new OLED was supposed to be my motogp solution. Instead, it and my rebuilt '65 JBLs sit plopped on the floor needing yet another solution. Need to get going.
The probability of my going 200mph at night in a sandstorm surrounded by 30 other maniacs is zero. I'll keep my boring cubicle job, thank you very much.

Yamaha still hasn't solved their speed problems. Even Suzuki is better now.

3 great races... again! My video pass account kicked me out midway thru the MotoGP race while watching on my iPad. I ran out to the garage, started my laptop and finished watching without further problems.

Marquez vs Dovi in the last corner has become a fixture. I think that if the FL was just another meter or two further Marquez would have nipped Dovi. Those bikes are amazing!

I subscribe through the MotoGP website. You can watch real time or go back and watch past races.
I signed up last year when BeInSport stopped carrying it for about $60 since it was only half the season. The whole season is about $120 but worth it for some of the best racing there is.

Marquez hit 218 mph! That Honda is amazing.

Not a bad race from 2nd on back.
Cal got hosed. COTA coming up where 93 is beyond dominant.. I'm more excited for next weekend's Moto America's opener at Road Atlanta. Several of the non factory teams and riders were at Barber this past weekend for some track time. It will be interesting to see how these guys stack up.. turn up the sound..

I wanted to go but life got in the way. One of my kids is down there.
In other news, it is also the Masters weekend... |

I'm sort of tired of M&M winning at COTA every year...

I wouldn’t take a bet on Cal if you bet me that he would win one race at all in any given year. I get that he’s a fellow Brit but he’s a pretty long shot every time he lines up on the grid.

Did you guys see Miller save it in turn 10 during warm up? 115 mph at 45 deg lean and he saves it!

Had a bad allergy attack during the retirement of Nicky's number 69. Broke my heart watching his Dad struggle with it.

Any bets on Dovi getting to the front? I'd love to see the Dr Dovi and MM in a dogfight.
