1. Rossi
2. the rest don't matter

WTF, Nick?

Fuck...Dani too? Come you little cock sucker! he's gonna make me join the "I Hate Dani Pedrosa" anti-fan club! Oh and is that a Suzuki in third?....huh? The worlds gone crazy!

hrm zx-rr in fifth? I might actually watch this one lol

yeah no shit?! I don't remember kawi being in the top 5 in any practices last year...

....and goodbye Kawi.

I might be able to watch it tomorrow. Hopefully I get back to Springfield in time.

What time is this shit on?

Hayden had a violent highside and is questionable for the race :(

Didn't read post #2, huh? :idk:

My mistake...sorry.

Canceled due to rain... GHEY

Ummm...the race in Quatar was cancelled because of rain?.....GLOBAL WARMING!!!!

so you gonna tow your bike with your new hibrid hippy?

No,I'm going to tow my motorcycle there with my pedal bike.

I was just about to make a thread asking why speed was showing last years race. this sucks

Well,on the bright side,the 250 race was pretty good!

I didnt catch that one but I think speeds showing a rerun tonight or tmw so Ill have to check it out.

I was afraid to look at this thread in case someone had already torrented eurosports version so I watched part of last years race. Fucking gay. Tomorrow at 8 pm CT is when its resceduled for I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I started watching and they showed Nikano, Hopkins and West on the grid and Hayden on the Repsol and I was like :scratch: :wtf:. Then they were talking about "World Champion" Casy Stoner.... I said...shit they've canceled the race.. I watched it again anyway.

Watch the race right now!!!

yep, motogp still sucks

WSBK is at least entertaining.

Holt shit...

Yeah I'll stick to WSBK this year. :panic:

terrible race

Complete results...

I'd start fucking with marko about where Nicky ended up,if Pedrosa wasn't just as bad!!!:panic: I will say this though...so much for all that "Nicky gonna kick ass with Ducati this year" talk!

Yeah Nicky took it in the dumper this race.

Well,you know that the bike was developed for Pedrosa,oops wrong team,I mean Stoner and he's having to try and ride it anyway. It's a huge disadvantage,obviously,considering his team mate won the race. Stoner must be getting better parts or something...:lol:

Pedrosa got run over, and almost crashed out by De Angelis...He was in the top 5 before he got hit...

Oh whew! Hey I tried your link and it didn't work,any thoughts?

Well, the race was over 2 hours ago...

I heard Speed will have it on at 7...

oh it's live!!!! Duh!

Nah they had an important episode of "Pimp My Ride" to air...God I hate them!

That's it! When Supercross is over,I'm DONE with cable! I get basic for free and my TV pulls HD channels from the air. With HuLu and other streaming sources I don't need these assholes! Fuck them!

yeah I fucking HATE speed. hey did you ever find out if HULU got the european channels?

Stoner just completey owned that whole race. Most GP race are never close anyways making them alittle boring.

Shitty race. The top 7 guys were separated about evenly by a total of 30 seconds. Pedrosa almost got killed, and probably killed a bitch in the pits. Rossi wasn't quick enough. Shitty race. From now on, I'm downloading everything from Eurosport.

Oh yeah, who wants to switch from Indy to Miller WSBK? MotoGP blows and they were only running 3-4 seconds faster than World Superbike was a few weeks ago.

Moto GP stays, but you can organize a group to miller. That's too far for me. I'm going to Laguna before I go to miller.

I know. It wasn't a serious offer. Well kinda, but not really.

Crappy race for Hayden...but I am not counting him out yet...commentators said he took a high side at 130 during qualifying and was riding with a brace on his neck. :panic:

Yea, I heard something to that effect myself...BTW Pedrosa has a jacked up knee AND screws in his wrist AND was slammed into by DeAngelis...:whistle:
I'm just saying, if we're dishing out excuses here....

I am not trying to make excuses...mostly just hoping that he was off this race (because of the high side or otherwise) and he will come back better next race.
