Very exciting 3 days of testing. Great to see 6 riders separated within a second.

Bring on the next test Feb 26-28 :bigthumb:

I have always thought motorcycle racing was really awesome, but I never learned much about it. I hope I can at least gather up enough information to know what's what for the 2013 season. MotoGP 2013 Grid (riders-teams) - YouTube

After watching that, I have a tiny idea about what is going on. So now even if two riders are on the same team like Lorenzo & Rossi, they still compete against one another pretty hard?

Team mates always compete harder against each other. Gotta be #1 on the team.

Rossi and Lorenzo had some epic battles in 08-09 as did Stoner and Pedro last season.

I'd love to see Josh Hayes get a shot at either WSBK or MotoGP. I know that will never happen, because his age and his non European passport.

I'm hoping Beaubier makes he way across the pond again in a few years. Kid has serious talent.

pretty good on Valentino part using the 2012 model and not the 2013... Cal is on the 2012 model also....

Is the Jerez Moto Gp Test televised today? If so, what channel can I find it on?

 

[CaptainCrash]

Another testing ruined by rain. A few dry sessions, but mostly ruined.

I hope this is not Rossi's official 2013 helmet. :thumbdown

Negative on that, at least not here in the U.S.

A little off topic here, but the coverage of F1 on NBCSN have been awesome. All practice sessions, qualifying, race, and a post race show? And don't forget beIN for SBK. C'mon MotoGP (more like SPEED) get with the program!!!

 

[CaptainCrash]

oh well, there goes my dream of NBCSN or beIN hosting MotoGP. :bawling

I watched him last year and seeing his numbers this year so far crutchlow is going to be a good contender this year. Throwing down some awesome times.

Crutchlow will be battling for 5th most of the time. I wouldn't look into test times to much.

[Ced68]
