They did not do last 4 laps - started to fit my new kitch long b4 for that - can't believe I still watch the start though (after the MotoGP (Awesome as usual - top 6 covered by 2 second for most of race).

F1 still has refuelling to get over taking - Bollox.

New Qually (I Sun this morning) suggestions sound good though (knock out).


Anyone else struggling to understand this post?

Shame the BBC cut the last 4 laps of the race so we couldn't see who won.

It was that Dull and predictable - I started to fit may kitchen rather than be bored stupid!

What impressed me was how hard Hayden was trying at the end you could see the back end drift on virtually every corner- impressive.

Could it be anything to do with the fact that you can see what the riders are doing, the effort they are making, on the bike as apposed to F1 where all you can see is the drivers head ?


Absolutely. I'm not saying that F1 cars are easy to drive, but you can see the skill of the bike rider far better than you can the F1 driver.

The other advantage MotoGP has over F1 as a spectacle is the lack of aerodynamic downforce. Bikes aren't forced to back off from one another in the corners because they've lost grip in the "dirty air". Max Mosely take note!

I think you misunderstood, in some regions the BBC cut the last four laps of the MotoGP, not the F1, they don't have F1 anymore.

That would piss me off - missing F1 no problem - you know what is coming, no overtaking (except in pits and cars breaking down).
