Anyone see todays race?

Fantastic viewing with overtaking, crashes, near misses, excellent commentry, fans invading the track.
Which Is something F1 doesn't have.

Watching this series opens your eyes to how tedious modern Formula 1 Is. :angry:

yeah i watched it - did you see Schumacher was there too going round the track on a 2-seater bike  :drool:

really good race, good to see Rossi win again, as long as its not too often, when he made a mistake and slipped back to 5th i stupidly thought his race was over - great recovery - brilliant riding by all!!!!  

watched it last year too but i never really supported one rider, this year i somehow have found myself supporting Nicky Hayden so was really glad to see him in 3rd :king:

also just watched the British Superbikes (GOD i have no life :blush: ), really getting into it, some fantastic racing again & some superb overtaking moves, in fact some better moves than the MotoGP :blink:   My friends cousin rides in it too - Johnny Rea so i have even more interest in it :D
GOOD BYE MR SCHUMACHER - IN MY MIND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!!!!

Now SchumiŽs left me iŽll settle for some local talent - Mr Adam Carroll

Even after watching Monaco and the other races of this season you maintain that theres no overtaking? :huh:

the only thing you have listed there that F1 doesnt have is the excellent commentary IMHO. I have tried many times to watch MotoGP but never found it very interesting. I do like the Isle of Man TT though.

If your satisfied with F1 fair enough, I think It could be better.

I started to watch MotoGp last year after getting Eurosport. Their excellent coverage really got me hooked.

Rossi was 5th then Eurosport decidided to take a break, when they returned he was 3rd, great racing!
I still can't get over the fact that these blokes on bikes where racing at 207mph on this track ! :wacko:

I would like to know how fast a gp bike can go!?

Rossi was brilliant. Great to see him return to the top step of the podium. This year should be great seeing him try to make up the gap to Hayden and Capirossi (who were both great on Sunday) in the Championship. After this weekend off there are 3 races in 3 weeks, what with F1 and the World Cup, it's gonna be hectic!!!

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.
