After the Flag: Catalunya

Last weekend the sixth race of the Moto GP World Championship took place at the French Speedway – Le Mans Bugatti Circuit – which has been active since 1967. Amongst some of the manufacturers that currently participate in the 60th Edition of the Tournament are: Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.

Additionally, the top five riders who presently lead the scoreboard are: in first place Valentino Rossi from Italy with 97 points, the Spaniards Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo both with 94 points – second and third place respectively, Casey Stoner from Australia with 56 points and in fifth place the American Colin Edwards with a total of 47 points.

Last Sunday the Italian Valentino Rossi who rides for Yamaha accomplished a double win by becoming the French champion after his previous win in China; this triumph is his 90th win fact that moved him to the first position in the overall standings besides tying his record to that of the well-known Angel Nieto.

“To tie Nieto is like a dream,” said Rossi, who also won the Shanghai GP two weeks ago. “I didn’t expect to be so fast, but we made some modifications after the warm-up and the bike worked well. “I haven’t won two races in a row since 2006. That means we are back in business.”

Rossi’s latest win is certainly an incredible achievement as his counterpart the Australian champion Stoner was pursing the lead but unfortunately for Stoner he had to retire during the 20th lap as his machine had a mechanical malfunction. Situation which benefit Pedrosa who pushed his Honda but both Rossi and Lorenzo moved ahead as Rossi won the first place and the Spaniard who also rides for Yamaha came in second showing an amazing display of cleverness and speed skills.

Many believe this definitely means business for the Italian as this is the first time Rossi is at the top of the standings since his win at the Spanish speedway in Jerez back in 2007. Rossi who is a seven-time world champion recorded 44 minutes and 30.79 seconds. A very positive situation for the Yahama manufacturer as well as they lead now with a total of 115 points gathered from two second places in Qatar and Spain followed by three consecutive wins in Portugal, China and France. On the other hand, the Japanese manufacturer Honda counts with 94 points and the Italian Ducati in third place with 61 points.

The speed knights will meet once again next June 1st at the Italian Mugello Circuit for another round of the best Moto GP speed racing. This particular circuit has been Rossi’s domain since 2002 when he first won the race & has repeated it for the past six seasons. Rossi’s experience include three Wold Championships in 125cc – 1997, 250cc – 1999 and 500cc – 2001 and MotoGP – 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005.

I want to know if anyone know’s for sure that a moto gp or a AMA race bike has no batteries and no starters. If so will the bike be fine with out it? Can we run a smaller battery than usual just to keep the RPM and speedometer on thanks.

Lorenzo isn’t a clone of Rossi, he’s a wanna-be Rossi

Pongan sentido comun y autocritica sobre la cultura que recibimos todos, suele pasar que nos quieren reclutar para causas ajenas a nosotros, quieren componernos ideologizarnos y secuestrar el libre pensamiento, viajen si pueden con libertad y sin miedo y descubran lo que nos une por encima de los que tratan de separar.
Grandes orgullos nacionales suelen ser grandes miedos,la misma mierda fascista que el orgullo blanco nazi, vestir de odio el miedo y la ignorancia.
Sean libres sean hermanos.

Yes

If it could pass the emissions test and the noise laws.
And also if it had a numberplate, insurance, tax, valid MOT and mirrors & indicators. And all tuning/upgrades/mods were declared to the insurance company.

It would also be impossble to get hold of a MotoGP bike though, and if you could, you'd need to be a. very rich or b.rob a bank to afford the purchase (although i suggest not robbing RBS as they have no money atm LOL)

GP bikes don't have a starter motor,but they do have a small battery to run electronics.They are started up with a trolley with an engine and small wheel,which is placed against rear wheel to spin it up.

Ahora que nos hemos librao de los caciques franquistas, centralistas y dictatoriales que afixiaban las personalidades de los pueblos seria absurdo ceder bajo los caciques de aldea,porque mucho piensan estar al servicio de la libertad y en realidad donde militan es en el vasallaje del señorito de turno.
Imaginense ustedes mil estados del tamaño de andorra incomunicados y recelosos del vecino, que fuerza hace tanta desunion o estabilidad,seria una jaula de grillos

There must be some organization with track, who organise bike races.
search for it and then contact them, they'll give u information abt license require, timmings, fees.. and then start your career with it.
and then you'll get ur actual answer from your competetors.

Try contacting MSA

Good luck….

Kawasaki withdrew from from MotoGp because of the impact the economic crisis has had on their sales. Their global sales figures have plunged substantially. Both John Hopkins and Marco Melandri are out.

A ver si os puedo hacer un esquemita mental a unos cuantos.
Hispannia ya la llamaron los romanos mucho antes de que los intelectuales de aldeas aisladas pusieran como ideario politico el miedo y el recelo por bandera.
Los pueblos de este pais han de sentirse orgullosos de su herencia e identidad propia pero tambien darse cuenta de la necesidad de la union de ellos bajo un mismo signo pero que no implique yugo opresor imperialista.

#12 abuelaarmada on 06.26.09 at 4:52 pm

Error. Puede que sus nietos y los nietos de sus nietos sean españoles, pues raro será que España ceda un milímetro político a su falta de entendederas. Pero su identidad, como la de sus antepasados, seguirá siendo Catalunya. Al menos eso no lo vais a poder evitar.

If you have satalite reception you can find eurosport. it broadcasts around the world and gives live broadcasts of the moto GP. ALL OF IT. but I belive Speed broadcasts most live races and recordings of the others. I suppose eurosport will be available on cable too.

traten de olvidar rencores, falsos sentimientos de opresion y tratemonos de igual a igual sin diferencias de estatus, utilicemos la historia comun para cimentar una convivencia en comun como los pueblos hermanos que somos.porsupuesto que es lo que va a pensar un aldeano que nunca en su vida de su pueblo ni de su valle, que vision del mundo puede tener alguien asi, tan corta y tan ignorante,

You needs tons of talent and be about 11 or 12 years old and join The MotoGP Red Bull Rookie Race School.

Hola amigos. En todos los pueblos de España hay una figura conocida como el “tonto del pueblo”. Pues bien este friki es un aldeano de una perdida masia de Catalunya que no tiene ni puta idea de lo que es Espanya y mucho menos Catalunya.
Ni caso. Sus nietos y los nietos de sus nietos serán españoles y aplaudiran los triunfos de la roja, del tenis y de los motoristas españoles pero la barretina calada hasta las orejas le impiden verlo.
Un saludo a todos y VIVA ESPAÑA, COÑO!!!!!

You can get every MOTOGP race ever shown on TV from the last 12 years on Motogp.com

You do need to subscribe for the year. Its about €55 for the full year, but they do have offers on half seasons prices. I dont know if this will allow you to see races that have been run already though.

I pay for for the full service of €55 a year and it is fantastic. I have said it before, and I say it again, I dont work for them nor do I get paid, but when a service is good, they deserve a mention.

Sorry, I dont know more about the package deals.

Dude.
