That would be cool, but I kind of like them being totally seperate. Plus that would mean more money made with more events... I'd think. Hope the US will get another SBK race. 2013, there should be 3 MotoGP races here (CA, IN & TX).

 

well, if they all go to the same venues, that would mean they would be racing all the same tracks, and to your point, i like that they are seperate because they go to different circuits.


i just finished race 2 of the WSBK in germany, damn that was wet, but i'm happy as hell sykes got the win. it does suck for haga though.

IMHO, they let the race go on too long. they should have called it a little earlier. but its not like its the first time that they've let a race go on too long at the nurburgring.

remember?
1999 World Superbike Nurburgring - The Oil Spill - YouTube

Yes, they did let the Nurburing race go too long. I think whatever the minimum laps required to make it a race should have been sufficent.

I think we'll see more changes in WSBK either next year or 2013. MotoGP going to 1000cc bikes, it's believed will hurt Pedrosa & the smaller riders. Should be exciting, I think Pedrosa would/could be ahead of Lorenzo if he hadn't gotten hurt & sat out those races.

 

o ya man, with less electronic aids and bigger bikes, that only hurts smaller riders. do you remember when pedrosa was on the repsol rc211v? he couldn't get that thing to turn, it was too powerful. i think stoner, pedrosa, and a lot more of the "GP" based riders will be hurt and it'll give an in to riders that are more production based to motogp.

.... which makes me thrilled because i'm a hayden fan

 

I agree. Hopefully that will be the way they go.

 

i'm not a fan of those special edition repsols, but they were quick at aragon, thats for sure. anybody know why they're doing the special edition?

ducati needs to get it together. now does anyone know if rossi has to start from pit lane the rest of the season? i would think he would considering he's continuously over the engine limit, but i'm not sure. it seems like hayden is running this year's bike, trying to stay consistent, whereas rossi's team is really just trying anything at this point to be better. i get doing that for development, but they don't seem to be getting anywhere. i hope they do though. hayden starts soo well, i'm sure if he has a bike with more front end feel, he'll do better.


i'm glad suzuki is getting it together. it'd be great to have more than just yamaha and honda duking it out. i hope suzuki and ducati can catch up to the honda and yamaha next year.

 

To be honest.... I think Rossi and Burgess are now heading in the right direction. They have found some things that are going to be used long term. Some things are short term. But going back to Aluminum is the right direction until they have a better uderstanding of carbon Fiber and what it will do and what it won't. Rossi and Hayden are just as good if not better riders then Stoner or Pedrosa on any given day. They are scrambing to get this right.... and I'm confident they will. But what if they have it right and that hand of cards won't be shown till next year??? This could have been a year of testing and testing and plain alot of frustration to get it right. If anyone knows Rossi...... hes the king of mind games and probably a sensational Poker player.

 

Heres a pic I took of Rossi doing his typical adjust the leathers before going out for practice at Indy.

 

And the closest your ever gonna get to a GP bike. Got to sit on Lorenzo's bike.

 

^Fawker!

Agreed though about the mind games with Rossi. Also agree with the fact that Hayden and Rossi will have things figured out for next season, if they don't have it figured now you can bet your bottom dollar the off season will be nothing but figuring testing and getting it right.
