HAHA A Chilis! I mean, I wish there was one close, but...

There isn't a Chilis or any sort of Sports bar near! I asked last weekend (for Indy) at every restaurant in town - nothing. I like the small town feel - but that is one of the disadvantages for sure. There isn't a whole lot around here. I am going to try the neighbor's route though. I've made pretty good friends with a guy around the corner - my wife works with his wife.

Hey Demon, do you know by chance what the schedule is on Fox Sports 1? I had it for about half an hour yesterday. And up until that point, my guide hadn't "populated" yet. So I couldn't see when the race was coming on. What times are they showing it? Is it like speed where GP is live? Or is it like speed used to be where it didn't air until later in the day?

Wow... So that means 7:30 AM EST - which would probably be about right for a live timing in eastern Europe

Haha, I know what you mean! Even at 7:30, it's probably a little too early to go over to the neighbor's

The MotoGP race kicks off at 4am PST according to the schedule on the MotoGP website. That feed on Fox might be on a half hour delay.

I'm looking forward to the race tomorrow, could be a good battle. Wish I was in Brno though. I was there for the race in 2011, great place to hang out and watch bikes.

Well, I missed it - and already spoiled it for myself. Looks like there was a good fighter for the win - Marquez taking it over Dani and Jlo. Too bad I missed it. Oh well, I won't miss the next one.

Decent races in Brno, particularly the Moto2 and Moto3. Marquez seems unstoppable right now. Interesting body language after the race in park ferme. Marquez celebrating with his crew by jumping up and down and chanting together, meanwhile both Lorenzo and Pedrosa didn't even get off their bikes. They looked completely flat.

So Redding has confirmed his future ride in MotoGP. Production Honda with Gresini, seems like a good choice to me. Hopefully with a two year contract he can make a mark and we'll have another Brit in the top class for a while.

Will be interesting to see how redding will do. On another note... Melandri, Rea, Davies and Laverty are all in Discussion to have possible rides

I'd like to see Melandri back in MotoGP. The production bikes and leasing options are opening up rides on decent bikes that will hopefully bring Melandri and other good riders back into the field.
