It's all about the cars the drivers are second to the cars, The guys on the bikes are just about to go toe to toe about to start, Round 3 of the Moto GP from Estoril, Potugal. Valentino Rossi is nowhere this season, the young champ has lost his stranglehold on the championship, Estoril is a great track, watch these guys put bikes round corners sideways.
I Personally think Valentino should move to Ducati, can you imagine Valentino winning on an Italian bike at Mugello, they'd have to shut down Italy for a day while everyone recovered from the party.

| Lorenzo is a cock and Stoner is the most hateful little twerp God ever made, Vale is a legend and since I started seeing him winning back in the days of his 250cc racing a sporting hero of mine, and the reason I took his number 46 as my number in the days I was able to play inline hockey. |

| Speedway is a fairly popular sport here, and it is indeed a bit fascinating to see how they round the corners - it must take immense power to keep yourself on the bike in that position. |

Sorta, depends on what you read and who you believe, Rossi said something along the lines of he'd like to give it a try, next thing the papers were full of stuff about him leaving Moto Gp to go to F1.
that said I wouldn't rule it out, if the money was right.

| More likely to go to rally once his hangs up his boots. He is a huge fan and has done a few on the side. |

| Yep, him and Colin where good buddies, Vale had him out on the bikes a few times and vice versa. |

McRae was not bad on the two wheels, seen one of those shows on Men & Motors or some other Sky Pish, where himself, Steve Hislop, Shaky Byrne and a few others went for a blast on the bikes. He held his own, well for a wee while anyway.
