Unfortunately not although I am going to the MotoGP to Jerez in 2 weeks :jumping:

Also got the Silverstone MotoGP booked and Oulton Park, Donnington and possibly Cadwell Park BSB sorted too. I don't mind a bit of bike racing as you can tell

Earlier this evening I watched the BSB @ Brands Hatch on ITV4. Wet and dangerous but very enjoyable close racing.

Bikes are mad Robin and well worth the watch. I started very young.

Castrol R takes me back to the car racing in the 1960's! Glorious smell - Much better than Chanel No5.

Yeah I absolutely love bikes and bike racing, followed it for years! You heading to Thruxton Hedge?!

Must admit I'm going to miss the 2 stroke 125's in the World Championship, the Moto3 just doesn't seem the same but time will tell

What do you think of the Moto3 bikes so far then? Hedge must like them, they sound  a bit like an old fighter plane. And how was Jerez? It looked good on TV, especially Moto2

It is sad seeing the state of Rossi and the Ducati, but good to see that Stoner isn't walking it, so far at least.

To be honest, I think they will take a bit of getting used to. One thing I do like about Moto 3 is Romano Fenati, he's a serious talent! I won money on him at Qatar and at Jerez

Jerez was good thanks, A lot wetter than it looked mind! Some brilliant racing in all 3 classes and some brilliant nightlife on Jerez main street on Saturday night! Good to see Cal Crutchlow doing so well too. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season

As for Rossi, there are so many rumours out there you don't know what to believe. I don't know what he'll do next year because if he wants to ride a Yamaha he will have to be on either the factory bike or with Tech 3, he cant buy his own and start a team.

I can see Spies being dropped then either Crutchlow or Dovizioso taking his place allowing Smith to move up from Moto 2, as for Rossi though, who knows where he'll go?! Dare I say WSB and start his own team there?!

Either way, things are shaping up for a great season :smiley:

Anyone following this year's Isle Of Man TT?

I missed Sunday's Superbike race bought just caught it on iPlayer ITV4. Watched the Supersport race last night on ITV4.  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Yep I am :smiley:

Was good to see Michael Dunlop win a race, even though he has no mechanical sympathy what so ever! Quite a big fan of his after what he's been through. It's a shame Ian Hutchinson and Connor Cummins aren't fully fit again this year, would have been good to see them up there. Same with Guy Martin, just can't seem to get it together for a full race

Hopefully the weather improves soon and they can run the Senior race

Not a very flattering pic of Azi Fami but she's very cute and a great interviewer - Bubbly personality.

Rossi @ Ducati was always the dream partnership but obviously not a winning combination.

I think he's gone back because he wants to win again.
