Did anyone watch Loris winning at Montegi last night (or whatever time of day it was in your part of the world)?

yeah, it was great stuff, a top ride & fantastic to see Ducati back up where it should be. lets hope there is a lot more of it in the rest of the season. The Bridgestones did well :thumbup:

I usually get MotoGP live on my TV, but they had something else on last night. They're screening it tonight, so I'll watch it then. It's a good circuit, Motegi, I reckon. Not that I know much about the GP circuits of the world, but I do think Montegi is good.

Skins,

We get it live here. The 125cc were at 4:00am with the MotoGP at 7:00am. Did you see Lorenzo Lanzi winning the second race of the World Superbikes for Ducati the previous week at Lausitz ?

If I were Regis and Toseland I would be thinking up some good excuses...

No, I didn't see that BSB race, Paul, but I read about it. I don't have as much coverage of motorsport as I'd like at the moment.

I watched the Montegi GP last night. Actually, Montegi is not the Japanese circuit I like. The one I like is the one where Baylis got on the podium in Ducati's first come-back race. The one with a really tight chicane.

Skins,

I think you are referring to Suzuka, which is in a figure of 8 with a very tight chicane just before the start finish straight. This chicane is where Daijiro Kato lost his life.
