Tazio Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just watching the MotoGP and it is awful conditions. The tail end of hurricane Ike has hit the area and they are racing in torrential rain and gale force winds. Not a clue how they are staying on the bikes.

Tazio Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 And as I hit the button to submit the thread it's been red flagged. Another victory for The Doctor. Or has he? Confusion over whether the race counts as full points or do they do a 5 lap sprint race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just watching the MotoGP and it is awful conditions. The tail end of hurricane Ike has hit the area and they are racing in torrential rain and gale force winds. Not a clue how they are staying on the bikes. Tell me about it. I'm pretty much stuck in my apartment right now. http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9005593&nav=menu44_5_1 I wouldn't fancy driving a car in this, never mind riding a bike.

The Mighty Thor Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 After about 10 minutes they have decided it is too dangerous. Madness. What's madness about it. it's pishing down and the wind is blowing at 60 mph? you've got 230+ horsepower going through a cold and wet back tyre on a bike that weighs 140 kg. **** that for a laugh.

What's madness is that it took 10 minutes for them to work it out that it was too dangerous to continue. Do keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well done to all the MotoGP lads yesterday for displaying such bravery and skill. And a special congratulations to The Doctor for beating Agostini's record for wins. Can't wait to see them in Sepang next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
