Is it just me ?? or has Moto GP got boring recently ??? Question

I was watching the race on Sunday... and got up and went to hang the washing out koz i had had enough of watching the race Crying or Very sad

.
Recently we've seen less and less overtaking and bikes out of shape Twisted Evil

I can't wait for Trction control and the rest of the electronic aids to be banned , even Toni Elias looks like he's on rails this year Shocked

and that's just not right Cool

....... although how they are gonna police it i don't know. Shocked

Lets just hope our sport doesn't end up like F1 with teams week in week out accusing rivals of cheating.

Here's hoping for some better racing...... mainly sideways Laughing

with some of that nice blue tyre smoke Twisted Evil

Hi,

I agree that some of the MotoGP racing hasn't been as exciting this year but I do believe alot of this is down to Stoner being so dominant on the Ducati. The fact that Honda have been caught napping and Yamaha also don't seem to be consistent at every track has caused the racing to be a bit boring at times this season, especially the last race at Brno. However I don't agree with comparing it to F1 as F1 is a for gone conclusion before the race even start most times and there is more overtaking on the first lap of a MotoGP race than there is normally in a whole season of Formula 1. MotoGP is supposed to be at the forefront of technology, isn't it and the technology or some of it eventually filters down to the road bikes. World Superbike is not that far behind MotoGP and has been exciting this year although maybe I am biased as I am English and a Englishman is winning the title, Hooray !!!! Shocked
