These days it seems the ECU is a vital component of being competitive. The factory bikes will be get the stock ECU but be able to make their own software. I don't know if the other bikes will be able to change anything. I think the lease engines etc will make the bikes more competitive in theory but hopefully the electronics aren't a weak spot. So many times you hear about a rider saying his bike is not competitive because of the electronics these days.

 

Yeah, on the surface, it seems like CRTs would have the opportunity to be right up front as far as the motor is concerned if they had a good frame/ good rider. But I worry about the ECU too. Why would they make everyone run on the mandated ECU, but not the factories? The CRT thing hasn't worked. No one is watching or paying attention to the CRT class except for who wins the "CRT race". I thought the whole point was to make motogp a real 20 bike class instead of a le mans type race (with different classes on the same track at the same time).

 

Hey guys, just a heads up.


Speed won't have the INDY GP. It'll be on FOX Sports 1.


Don't really understand what that is or anything. Hopefully, ya'll get that channel.

 

FOX bought out Speed & FOX Sports 1 will be like ESPN, Euro Sport & NBC Sports... The only problem I have is it appears they will only televise the race once unlike SPEED Sunday & Tuesday. We'll have to wait & see...

What about Hayden? Where do you think he will wind up?

 

LCR BABY!!!!

Or at least, that's where I really really really hope he ends up. Damn that would be sweet. I bet those production racers aren't too far off.

What all is exactly different? I know the tranny is different - it's more of a standard transmission than the seamless trannies the Honda's (and now Yamahas) have. But what else? And, how much of an advantage is the extra 3 liters of fuel? I know the extra engines are a huge advantage, but how much do the prototype bikes lose by having to use 3 liters less fuel?



Come on Honda America, pony up some cash for the Kentucky Kid!

 

Ah. Finally, I can see why Ducati struggles. It seems that Dovi is having issues with rear grip, whereas Nicky is lacking feel from both ends of the bike.

 

LMAO! I really hope Nickey gets a good ride SOMEWHERE for next season.

 

He's got a few offers in GP. The LCR one seems the best - hopefully that works out

 

Cal is sitting on pole for Brno!

And how about Bautista being the no.1 Honda?? You think it's the Showa?



I'm upset that I won't get to see ANOTHER race... I had my directv set up last night - only for a huge windstorm to come and mess up my dish! And of course, they can't come until Monday.

 

Find a chillis or somewhere and ask them to put it on in the bar.

Otherwise, its time to meet your neighbors....
