Ok folks its that time again! MotoGP!

First race is Qatar April 12th.

I was wondering if anyone is interested in an 'Newninja' tipping team? You can register and enter the tipping comp online, but I figured it might be fun to enter as a team. Post on here during the week and decide an order, then I'll enter the tips and see how we all do?

Short notice I know for this race, but we should be able to get something together... thoughts anyone?

"Making a wager on who is going to win"?

Or like a fantasy draft see who will win the championships?

So for Qatar, free practice Friday and Saturday then qualifying that afternoon racing on Sunday the 12th.

So what you guys can do is suggest top 3, 6, 10, 15 or what ever you like, I'll fill in the rest and enter our choices before race day. Head to MotoGP.com for all the news on how riders are going, keep and ear out for races and news. There are even prizes if we do well enough!

Once pole is deiced I'll whack that up, and then we'll decide on final picks. Any clearer?

Well, Free Practice One is over...

1 27 Casey STONER AUS Ducati Marlboro Team Ducati 1'57.053 328.967
2 46 Valentino ROSSI ITA Fiat Yamaha Team Yamaha 1'57.439 327.471 0.386
3 5 Colin EDWARDS USA Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Yamaha 1'57.835 322.677 0.782
4 99 Jorge LORENZO SPA Fiat Yamaha Team Yamaha 1'58.272 326.579 1.219
5 15 Alex DE ANGELIS RSM San Carlo Honda Gresini Honda 1'58.452 326.975 1.399

No surprise Pedrosa lapped slowest, with his stuffed knee and wrist, over 4s slower.

Melandri on the single Ninja entry came in 9th.

So my pick stands at the moment;

Stoner
Rossi
Lorenzo
Edwards
Caparossi

Thats top 5 anyway.
