Some news to break the silence

Ducati confirm Rossi's departure

EDIT: And Yamaha confirm Vale's return with a two year deal

Well - I'm rooting for the Brit. Crutchlow.
He's not been signed up for next season AFAIK - and finished 7th for the Indi qualifier after crashing out earlier in the qualifying.

Good luck young man.

I'd also like to see Stoner go out on a high at the end of the season. He has quite a few points to make up to do that.

the infield at Indy is terrible, I'm surprised the riders don't refuse to ride there.

Amazing performance by Stoner riding with the injuries from yesterday, he could barely get off the bike at the end.

I believe Cal hinted he would like to stay with the Tech 3 team next season, with the Italian media suggesting Dovi has the vacant Ducati ride and with Bradley Smith joining the Tech 3 MotoGP team next season it could be interesting.

Stoner did amazingly well - no illegal painkillers etc. Fantastic racer.

Let's not forget the great race that Crutchlow put on on his own turf with similar injuries.

Putting those guys through the metal detectors at customs must be interesting - pins, plates, etc :D

I fear that Cal will have no Moto GP team next year. He'll be 28 in October IIRC but hey - 'Rookie of the year' last season, and finishing behind the amazing riders that he does, is no disgrace.

I think that the thought that he has not yet been signed up for next season affects his prformance.

Here we go again.
Coventry Kid starts 4th on the grid next session.
Yamaha are looking good.

Great day of bike racing on Eurosport today BSB, WSBK and MotoGP :)

Cal & Bradley confirmed as Tech3 riders for next season

And Cal 2nd on the grid for today's race

Some great news there. Thanks for posting.
I don't think that Cal has started so high on the grid this season, and being wanted for next season must be a relief and boost to him.

I'm really hoping Cal can get at least one podium this year, he's done a great job in his second year of MotoGP. I think staying with Tech3 is a better option for him atm :)

An amazing last lap today

Cal's first podium, well done that man:D

Woohoo well done Catherine Green winning the Motostar race at Cadwell yesterday. First woman to win a British championship race :D

Brit, Crutchlow starts 3rd on the front of the grid at San Marino tomorrow.
Pedrosa and Lorenzo start 1st and 2nd respectively.

I'm sure there will be another fitting tribute to Simoncelli on his home turf.

I'm so disappointed that Casey Stoner still can't show up.

Saw the first few laps today of the race from Australia, how unlucky was Pedrosa in coming off the bike?

Very bad luck for Dani, good for Lorenzo though I don't imagine he wanted to win that way. It'll be interesting if Casey decides to race Aussie V8's. We prefer them to BTCC.

Not really watched much bike racing in the past, but am looking to get into it. Shame I decide these things just before the season ends!
