So it's that time of the year again!!!

MotoGP kicks off this week, race 5am Monday in Australia. Sunday night for nearly everyone else, Qatar is the track!

Who's backing who? Stoner is testing bloody well on the Honda, gonna be a tough game of catch up for Rossi this season.

Also F1 kicks off next week in Australia... Webber is looking good in pre-season testing!

So who's excited!

I'll be following the F1 and MotoGP. It looks like Stoner's Honda is the fastest, Rossi's Ducati still needs a bit more work and don't underestimate Spies on the Yamaha, he'll give his team mate Lorenzo a run for his money. Also, I wanna watch Moto2 a bit more closely this season because I think Vyrus is competing with their front swing-arm thing.

Webber's a hack. I've always said it. Vettel's the next Schumacher.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch it....

 

[ahmad]

me too!!

I'll be watching. Originally I thought it was going to be on at 8am and was ready to book a meeting room at work. Instead I'll be watching at home then heading to work late.

I just go for the Aussies. But I love Kobayashi in the F1.

That last one from webber was special. Half a second off his previous flyer.

I booked a meeting room at work, ate pizza and watched

Will be doing the same for the last 20 minutes for FP2 this arvo. I love work!
