I'm super pumped for this year. I hope that there are more bikes in contention for podiums.

I'm trying to sucker more people into watching it with me this year, instead of just badgering my girl to watch the first and last few laps of each race.

Despite Bautista being a little cavalier in the corners(lol) it's always fun to see him near the front, even if it makes me pucker every time he gets near someone.

Honestly it'd probably get better coverage in the states, which would be nice. Not sure how I feel about BT's coverage. Commentators were a pretty big step down.

Before I was really into bikes I always considered the Nurburgring to be the holy grail. The IOM just loving dwarfs it.

BT needs to get Ben into the commentators booth more often. It was pretty obvious that he knew much more about motorcycle racing than either of the commentators but was kind of dry otherwise. It was cool to see just how quickly he could pick up on things that the commentators couldn't see (chatter, tires going off ect).

I absolutely loved having Ben in the booth, it was super informative. Good example was when Rossi was dropping off he pointed out how he looked uncomfortable and it may have had something to do with the front end.

Even my girlfriend, who's knowledge of Ducati in motogp is "those red bikes that kinda suck" laughed at that exchange.

Marquez is ridiculous. Watching Valentino enter a corner behind him really highlights how different the riding styles really are.

Rossi and Marquez are great together:


Barring the Lorenzo finger wag and action shots, this is easily the best shot to come out of MotoGP in recent years. The Pedro Lorenzo championship battle was good, but it was robo-douche vs robo-douche. MotoGP needs more of this fun.
