Who gave him a job? I take it the other bloke did the (quite good) work and he just appended his name.

Tune in to BBC3 for the Moto GP and it's peeing down in the desert, typical, can't see the race going ahead, evening race, so no sun to dry the track out gggrrrrr.

[Bort]

The 250 race was cool. Gave up on the moto gp when they wheeled the bikes off the grid.

[NW2013]

Ugh, 2 pints instead of the race! Made the wrong choice re: which order to watch this and the Dwarf in.

[TheForce]

I was SOOO looking forward to this ! and then it's starts to rain in the desert off all places !!
And the dutch broadcast channel won't even be showing it live this evening !! ****ing idiots

[VR46]

Guess BBC will show it live on BBC3, fingers crossed. Good news it's going ahead today, read rumours it would last night but didn't think it was realistic. Come on Rossi.

[Senna]

I was just watching the BBC news channel - Moto GP will be on the Red button and BBC Website at 1900, but not on any of the main BBC channels.

[MJ]

The BBC have allowed Eurposport to cover today's rescheduled MotoGP race live and it's on Eurosport 2 at 6:45pm.

Moto GP:

->Open Spoiler<-

Predictable top three really, Stoner and that Ducati were mighty quick lap after lap

Got to love the BBC commentators, when

->Open Spoiler<-

Melandri

went off the track ... "he needed that like a third armpit".

[thebuddahman]

Stoner was on fire today huh. Can't wait for this season to get going

[TheForce]

sjeesus , what a boring race.... Stoner was on fire, Rossi was fast as well and then you have the rest of the field... shame Dovisiovo couldn't keep the pace for the whole race....

That's the bit why nobody (including me) seems to like Stoner, when he wins it's almost always like we saw this weekend, he takes off like a rocket from the start to dissapear into the distance, it's just so boring to watch. Don't get me wrong, I do respect Stoner and he is a great rider, it's just boring to watch him take off like this ...
I really hope the others will catch up with Stoner and we see again those battles like last year at LagunaSeca (best race ever) and the ones we had like with the 990 machines...

get rid off the TC and I would be happy again

[abigsmurf]

You could say Stoner lit up!

(sorry, couldn't resist)

The F1 appeal results get revealed tommorrow. I can't see it resulting in penalties, it would make this season even more of a farce and destroy it totally. That said, the sport seems to be cursed this season...

[VR46]

Shame for us viewers Stoner got such a good start, could have been entertaining had Rossi taken the lead from the first corner.

Glad Edwards did well, he always says what he thinks, does make me crack up in some of his interviews.

I can't see the F1 teams in question being penalised either, if anything, slapped wrists and get it sorted for the China GP. Which won't please Ferrari & McLaren at all.

[Malc]

The diffusers are legal says the FIA. BrawnGP, Williams and Toyota will not face penalties. Go BrawnGP!

good decision , glad Brawn, Williams and Toyota keep their points.

Now it's gonna be interesting to see which of the teams will be racing already in China with the diffusor !
