1st...beIN Sports coverage rocks!!  Both good races...Apes look tough this year. I like Laverty, so  Sucks about Checa...hope he's OK. Glad to hear he apparently was able to walk off. Great start to the season.  |

Concussion and staying overnight in hospital. Next round is not for over a month, so he has sufficient time to recover.
The Apes again looking like they brought the gun to a knife fight. I wonder what would happen if you put MotoGP tires on those things. If Aprilia would just run these instead of the ART bikes, would they be more competitive?
Great job by Melandri to ruin the all Ape party in race 2.

Good thing this isn't MotoGP. Give it a chance already. |

I kinda like the fact that Ducati tried to approach the task in a different manner than Honda and Yamaha. The same as I like the way Ducati builds their road bikes different than the UJM's. The fact that it didn't work on GP spec tires doesn't mean it won't work on the SBK Pirelli's. You should sell your Ducs and get a Honda. |

Great start to the season. +2 I was watching and thinking how good the coverage was, and it is basically the same coverage as last year, and then realized "Hey, there's no commercials!!"  Not having to put up with Flo makes it all the more enjoyable.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Was watching the crash over again...huge props to Melandri for not throwing a fit at getting taken out but instead going over to check on Carlos.

Agreed. BTW...I don't think the pic of the bike hitting Checa is the crash from the race. I watched it again and the bike was no where near him. |
