Motors 2013 MotoGP/WSBK/BSB Season

I thought I would start this thread as we have one for the F1 fans but for me MotoGP is the best form of racing and am at the event in the UK virtually every year.

So lets here your comments and just maybe Bobby would grace us with pictures later in the year.
My favourite riders are Crutchy, Smith, Redding and Marquez. Sobbing because the best rider left last year Stoner

 

I do not belong to these sites but this is where I get all the news and pics from.

Teams & Riders:

(Couldn't be arsed tabbing/formatting all that lot out!)

 

No need formating and thanks Krikkit

 

http://www.motomatters.com/ is a good one also!

I think this season is going to turn out to be a right good one. The last two have been a liiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit dull at times

Me too. Usually go in the grandstand at Becketts! It's later this year (Sept) so might be a bit drier...!

 

Fantastic race at the weekend, it's great to see Valentino back on a machine he can get along with. Hopefully he can keep up with Lorenzo, and the Honda isn't quite as fast as everyone thinks it will be in Europe.

 

Ahhh brilliant a motogp thread, saves us hijacking the motorbike one. Thanks Kovoet

 

I agree it's better having two separate ones. Can't wait for Austin now

 

Yup, it's the gap between races I can't stand. This winter has been unbearable. I hope BSB and WSB can be included here too ?

 

For sure as they feed riders into motogp

 

The break is too long but its back now, tempted to go down to Thurxton this weekend for the BSB hopefully the weather is good.

 

Thread title amended

 

Anyone else here at thruxton ? It's all fun and flames

 

Watching world superbike bud and F1 long day for Motorsport but fun

 

i heard somewhere that jonny rea is going to be a moto2 wildcard, doesnt make sence to me

 

The bikes are burning today. Ouchhh

 

WOW what a ride from Chaz Davies. Who said he was number 2 in the team. He just attacked from the beginning and took control.

What happened to Laverty, he was like a lost fart in an aerodrome today. Not good.

 

The corner I was sat on today looked like a council estate

 

Yeah Chaz was on fire, good to see him making his team mate look quite ordinary.

 

Looks like the Hondas are working extremely well at COTA! Marquez is blisteringly fast, we can only imagine what must be going on in Pedrosa's head right now...
