Amazin pics, From starkeys you couldn't see alot of the other side of the track. You should of been there It was an amazing feeling with all the rossi supporters.

I can't help but feel that silverstone just wont be as good, the track invasion is impossible there and it won't be the same. But in five yearsw, it's coming back! The marshalls were usual with rossi, he got back on himself.

dovi was so lucky not to get messed up in the rossi crash.

Dovi was amazingly lucky.

Flukey

I'm not sure on Silverstone I guess we shall have to see.
All I remember is donington GP but y'know, it's meant to be fast so

If Dovi was on a proper chase lap, he would of been caught up in it.

I am very unsure on Silverstone.

Donington GP has always been good and if it'scoming back in five years, I guess I'm happy.

I think everyone is unsure on silverstone but everyone is excited at the same time, Its a very quick track for MotoGP and will provide ALOT of places to overtake. So more fun for rossi and lorenzo (if he stays).

Rossi and Lorenzo are in MotoGP next year.

I'm not excited about silverstone, the new track they are modifying has about two overtaking places from what I've seen, which is useless for bikes, they overtake loads in a race, not in two places. Silverstone is a long track compared to most other MotoGP circuits so where'd you get that from?

It's gonna be one of the longest circuits on the calendar but also one of the fastest - which plenty of overtaking opportunities - it should be good Adam.

Ahh but the thing with Lorenzo - what machine is he going to be riding?

[iAdam]

I don't like it i'll just have to wait and see.

Apparently lorenzo signed a contract a few weeks ago with another team? don't know if that's true or not. Donington has been promised the MotoGP back in five years anyway and they would change again, just a matter of waiting. Thank god I was there for the last year.

Lorenzo apparently signed for honda.

Has that been confirmed? If he does move i would be surprised.

Not confirmed yet.

Well tbh I see his reasoning, he wants to win the world championship and he doesn't think he can do that at Yamaha while Valentino is there - he doesn't want to be the number 2 rider & valentino is on about 4 or 5 more years in GP.
