Qatar **SPOILER** thread. (reserved for after race)
 

Don't use til after the race is over. I'm trying to get ahead of the game so other people have a chance to watch it without knowing who won. Please don't post until AFTER THE RACE!

I have the DVR setup ready to go

You Guys Are All Retarded!! Stop Fucking Clogging This Thread Up. Race Hasn't Started Yet!! Delete All Your Posts In This Thread.

Don't scroll down if you don't want to see the results.

Good fucking race... (for fourth place)

1. Stoner
2. Lorenzo
3. Pedrosa
4. Devizioso
5. Rossi
6. Toseland
7. Edwards
Don't really care about the rest at this point.

Last years race was more exciting with Rossi battling Stoner through the corners and Stoner pulling ahead on the straight. Real good race for the first 1/3rd of it. Good battles for the top 5 spots. Then Stoner got the lead and Lorenzo was on his ass until about 5-7 laps to go. Stoner's the man to beat, yet again.

Lorenzo's a force though. It's still early, but he rode strong. Pretty good rookies this year. Will make it interesting when the current stars leave.

Yeah I think Rossi burnt up his tires catch'n pedrosa... he faded slow and steady from once Stoner over took him....

fuck man... west killed me!

my podium sucks.


Good race for yami fans, although the ducati was still unchallenged.

I don't even wanna think about my fantasy scores.

I had bridgestones setting the fastest lap, and stoner in the top 3... that's it....


oh well...



fuck man... I had some MAJOR issues with fuck'n Motogp.com... I couldn't log in till 3 mins before the fucking race! man i was in a fuck'n panic!

hah i got right in . thx

yeah I dunno what the deal was... every time I tried log'n in it said invalid user name... then I tried "forgot password" and it said email not registered! I was like WTF! I was getting fuck'n PISSED

I had troubles logging in for the 125 race. Couldn't even watch it.

wierd... yeah when I went to log in.... the log in bar looked diffrent... instead of the little open blocks asking for username and password... there was only a "login" button... when I clicked it a log in area popped up in the middle of the screen... and that's where I was getting my error...

I clicked register and the normal login bar was there and that's the only way I was able to log in...

even then I wasn't able to access the HiRes version till the warmup lap... guess I'll be getting up even earlier to log in... or log'n in before bed next time...

If you log-in before bed, you'll still have to log-in before the race. it times out after a while.

ahh ok... fuck... that shit pisses me off.

raurgh i need to go to the bar now.

yeah IMO that race sucked... I was stoked till about the time Stoner went by Rossi... and in 3 laps had like a second over him...


fuck man... stoner better not run away with this one again:panic:

yea, the race was good watchin rossi get to the lead. but it was like stoner was just fooling around the first 8 or 9 laps and then said "ah fuck it time to win"

yeah, Lorenzo impressed me. good shit. I was waiting for Pedrosa to dive bomb Rossi when he was behind him... fuck'n tool


man even Hopper faded bad at the end... West didn't fade... course it's hard to fade from LAST FUCKING PLACE! I wish they'd interview every rider post race. I'd like to hear what Rossi had to say... I saw him on the cam give a sign that I took as him spinning his tires... but who knows... he didn't look upset...

You had to guess Michelin was gonna bounce back strong from last years disappointment. At least I got one thing right on GP manager. I picked Bridgestone.

yeah I fuck'n tanked this round... I knew hopper wasn't gonna be strong... as he's hurt... but fuck'n west killed me.

3 fuck'n weeks till next race... i'm gonna be pay'n close attention to the news

Ha Ha! Rossi Slipped!!!!!!!!

Besides Hopper, I had Elias. So I'm in the same boat. Two of the three guys I picked to be on the podium were, but not in the right spots I picked. Bullshit.

I was good for about a lap and a half.... Rossi 1 Stoner 2... Too bad the race didn't end with 18 laps to go


did Elias finish in the points? what bike and team did you have?

Why, because he actually had to "work" for it this time. And, Rossi ran away with it for how many years?

Good Lord that Ducati bucks around on the track.

he didn't work for it! he made three or four good passes and was in first! and that was it!

rossi always made it intresting... he did have several races he ran away... but usaully he was in 2nd with like 4 or 5 laps to go... stalk'n the rider ahead of him..

I'm not say'n stoner is a bad rider... the dude's bad ass... I'm just saying from an entertainment standpoint... it sucked


not even a good wreck! (my connection cut out for the one wreck and I didn't even see who it was)

Shitty race was shitty. Made even worse by the speed coverage being delayed until 10 and then their usual full ad break every 3 laps with no reviews of what went on during the break.

FUCK SPEED TV

I have Alice Ducati (zero points). And Honda as a bike.

Ahhhhh, "entertainment" Gotcha.

Rossi is a character. And, he ran away with his titles - even if he didn't run away with his races.

See, I'm one of those that would rather see someone win the title by WINNING the fucking title, and maybe even dominate, rather than win because they consistently stayed upright.

MotoGP is a cast of characters. I mean, the reason Pedrosa got such a bad rap early was because he was SO serious (and continues to be). It's good to see Lorenzo hang in the front, and even more adding to that cast with the likes of Divizioso hanging in there.... I thought it was a good race. :shrug:

How long does it take for Manager to update points and what not?

I dunno... but it's still sunday in the states... so probably not till late tonight or tomorrow for us... I've been check'n all day... :idk:

yeah I hear ya... Hayden's championship was kinda that way... he didn't win ALL that many races... he was just consistently on the podium...

I guess the thing that made it so un entertaining is that once casy got by Rossi... you knew it was over... he pulled on Rossi quickly... and if Lorenzo hadn't gotten by when he did... he wouldn't have even seen -1sec from Stoner.

Yeah the 3 rookies were doing very well. My money would be on Lorenzo this year.

He's CRAZY!!!! I love it He was out there playing lead-follow with Stoner... just kind of holding on.... awesome!

Consistency is a huge part of racing. Did everyone forget that Rossi had an 8 point lead going into the last race of 06? Perhaps the greatest choke ever pulled off in Motorcycle racing.
It's good to see some new guys up front. Should be an entertaining season.

Fuck tires... That says it all....Nothing matches Ducati for power.

no I didn't forget... that was basically my point... Hayden didn't WIN... Rossi LOST...

Lol..... Good one.

they're doing it right now...

Did you really just say that?

fuck... the damn site is STILL updating... fuck'n gay

Yeah apparently, tire selection doesn't mean shit when it comes to top speed. I see Michelins AND Bridgestones toward the top of that list.
