Moto Gp from Doha this weekend..?
Discussion
I have a feeling it will be a Stoner show with the rest fighting, sadly i dont think toseland will even be in the top ten.
I think it will be a good season, a lot thought the superbikes would be better but it just seems that Haga and Spies are going to clear off each weekend and fight between themselves.

Yes the WSB is a bit hit and miss, hopefully as the APrilia and BMWs get developed they will be closer. I think it will be a good season, a lot thought the superbikes would be better but it just seems that Haga and Spies are going to clear off each weekend and fight between themselves.
But by God, World Supersports has been CORKING so far this year! Real great stuff!
It'll be a 2 horse race in Qatar, Stoner and Rossi. Stoner I think will come out on top depending on the wrist as the most laps he's done consecutively pre-season is 16.
If you think WSB isn't close racing then I think you'll be far more dissapointed with MotoGP this year. The single tyre rule and the nature of the 800's will kill off the last of the close racing.
17 bikes on the grid, 16 after Toseland lob's it and many of them struggling to adapt to the Bridgestones. Pedrosa crocked, Lorenzo struggling on new tyres, Suzuki always look promising pre-season and the fall away. Hayden's not got the speed yet. The Honda isn't performing in Dovi's hands yet either, which is a shame as he's stuck with em for years it'd be nice to see him do well.
In terms of a dark horse though keep an eye on Kallio. He's never had to ride a MotoGP bike on anything but Bridgestones and he looks promising early doors, not for a win, but he'll go well.
Really gutted as well that Simoncelli is out of 250's with broken scaphoid for at least this round
But for the best close racing I shall be at Brands on Monday, can't wait.

I had completely forgotten about the single tyre rule, doh.
You are right about BSB, always the best one for me.
The jury is out on WSB at the moment as my viewing quality hasnt been that good so maybe im wrong, i hope so because i love close racing.
Shame is that we have given up our sky tv earlier this year because it was costing too much, will be ok for Motogp as its on BBC, struggling with watching WSB but might have a solution for that but it means watching the races a few weeks after. BSB i think is being shown on channel four but i may be able to download good copies a few weeks later. I will see them all no doubt but maybe not live which is a shame.
I still think it may be a Stoner show but it all depends on how Rossi qualifies and what sort of start he gets, if he lets Stoner get away then it would spell trouble.
I was hoping Lorenzo might do well but we will see i suppose.
Regarding BSB, who is going to have a sly bet on Sylvain Guintoli?
On WSB, i do actually hope it will go to Haga, he seems to look better than ever this year, just shows what a quality team behind you can get. Well done to Spies aswell, been watching him in the AMA for a while, just hope some of the brits do well.
WSS, you are right, definitely the best racing so far.
If anyone can recommend somewhere good to watch the WSB rounds then please go ahead, would love to watch them live on a good channel.
