I can't watch.
I have a burning desire to steal a Ducati Monster 695, and watching a GP race could led me to a life of crime.

He needs to win a race or two, but yeah having him on top is pretty sweet while it lasts. The doctor is coming....

Tommy almost had a 2nd at Barber. I watch all the roadracing that I can. Glad to see some of the folks on here watching. Could be Nicky's year. Different look in his eye this season.

getting on top of the european racing scene for an american, can be a slow process (brad lackey, kenny roberts sr. etc..) the logistics of different contries, foods and such.

nickey looks like he's getting the handle on it quite well.
looks like the yamahas are struggling a little right now. and everyone needs to take advantage of it before the doctor gets on a roll.

Agreed, but Hayden needs to beat his "rookie" teammate, Pedrosa had him beat till he washed out and Rossi was hounding him. Another lap and Rossi would have had him in the bag. Hayden really needs to make something happen this year or I think he won't be the favored son at Honda next year.
Rossi has shown more than once he can ride around any problems the Yamaha has, Edwards can't seem to get that done, except maybe at Laguna. Rossi is still the man to beat week in, week out. And then you have Stoner and Melandri to deal with.
Enjoy while it lasts.

edwards and others have always maintained that there's factory bikes and then there's factory bikes. if you know what i mean.

that's another drawback to americans racing in europe.
motorcycles or formula one. good old politics.(just ask micheal andretti. or scott speed in a couple of years.)

hopefully that's not the case with hayden.

rossi's like schumacher, so much good equal talent fighting for second place behind them. if they could all be battling for the lead....

and now over on these shores you're seeing ben spies giving matt mladin a run for his $$$. that second race at fontana last sunday was good stuff.
