YES! Can't wait for the season to finally start.

Voted Lorenzo, only because MM is starting off with an injury; but I think it'll be another close season.

EsA chokes, TWICE!

And I guess a broken leg isn't the handicap I'd thought it'd be...

Will be interesting to see how the Yamahas do tomorrow with a full race... they performed so well last year at Qatar, let's see how the missing one liter affects them.

Interesting... DMG no longer in control of American road-racing:

Nice to see some legitimate motorcycle-racer/industry folks (Rainey and Asklund!) coming in. I can only hope they can turn the AMA series back into something that 1) people want to watch and 2) helps foster a path for American racers back into the international scene.

I don't blame him for loving up, it'd be impossible to count how many times I've screwed that corner up in Forza.

:eyepop:

Also, no Daytona 200 for 2015:

I wonder, is this a case of Bill France being butthurt about losing the AMA Roadracing contract?
