Let the best man win!:thumbup:


Since they are all highly skilled riders I predict the man with the best tuned machine..... stickiest tires and a little luck most likely will be the winner :happy

[Lucky_Devil]

What do these guys have in common?

Rossi
Stoner
Hayden
Dovizioso
Edwards
Pedrosa
Melandri
Lorenzo
Toseland
Capirossi

























hmmmmmmmm......




















They have all been World Champions at one point in their career (125/250/500/MotoGP/World Superbikes). That means 10 out of the 18 riders confirmed in MotoGp this year are former/current World Champions.

[Luna Tique]

Also The new season opens on March 9 at the Qatar Grand Prix with Losail International Circuit hosting the first ever night race in the history of MotoGP and they will all be there ?

YAY for MotoGP 2008 :thumbup:

I'm hoping the strong field of racers = better competition and more excitement.

Can't wait 'til March 9th! :happy

[KCDakar]

I can't wait either!
I have my calendar marked!:thumbup:
