Ceejay29 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I am a huge F1 fan (probably an understatement in my girlfriends eyes) but will give the Moto GP ago this season. The new qualifying format seems pretty similar to that of F1. I have watched a few races in the past, but never followed it fully. Need to try and follow a rider, who is this Cal Crutchlow?

jumping350 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 hes a British rider been on the up the last coupe of seasons looks like he may well be in the hunt this year but nothing is ever that straight forward in Moto Gp, weve also got Bradley Smith in there but not sure he is quite cut out for the 1st class yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Go Cal! So good to have the bikes back. Already bought my weekend pass for Silverstone Gonna miss Casey though Edited April 7, 2013 by 14N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Can't wait for this to start again, can Carl rattle Pedrosa & co this year. I always think Dobby is a bit of a dark horse, soooo close but not quite there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Can't wait I must say Valentino all the way for me though.I personally not a big fan of Marquez though all his time in the paddock has been gifted more than any before even Vale don't get me wrong he can ride but Dorna is Spanish and they will do anything to get Marquez the title but hey the race tonight should be great viewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonst205 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Great race only 'cos of Rossi! Though Lorenzo looks ominously difficult to beat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So did Rossi give up on trying to work with his team from last year, missing the podium too much?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Brede Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Watched the race on BBC2 but watch most of them on British euro sport as the commentators are mad as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Watched the race on BBC2 but watch most of them on British euro sport as the commentators are mad as hell I find the commentators on Eurosport far more knowledgeable than BBC. That Aussie Cox says 'nightmare in a bubble cart' and 'shot the fox' EVERY damn race. Still watch it on BBC tho as its live. I'm too impatient to watch it (MotoGP) on sky.

Jetpilot Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Been watching MotoGp ever since my biking days, but apart from the lure of hoping for Cal to be up the sharp end and seeing what Marquez can do in the top flight i personally found this race as dull as any of last years season, perhaps duller as Stoner is gone. One rider having the edge over the rest and the others battling for the other two podium spots. I just read a report on Pistonheads about the opening round, they seemed to glorify it as a good race, all because of Rossi, it was literally no different to last years races! I really hope for some closer battles for first out of the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Mmmmmmm it seemed more about the tyres than the bloody racing,it was formula1 take 2 a little.It showed that Honda had tested there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
