MotoGP + SBK + AMA = Moto Racing

Melandri was riding on the ragid edge the last few laps. Your right , he dropped in to sharp there and leaned himself right into Rea and ended his and Haslem's race.

It was a great race anyway.

That is a shocker.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure Rossi will be the next. Thoughs rumors are also floating around.

I watch all kinds of Motor racing when I get a chance. I've been frustrated with Nascar Cup racing as of late, and I'm a little worried about the future if Indy Cars.

I don't even know how to ride a motorcycle, but I do like watching MotoGP.

There's got to be some shady stuff going on behind the scenes in GP. Stoner retiring, Spies deciding not to come back. There's a reason none of the riders seem to be happy.

Dorna (the governing body of the series) is basically stripping the factories of all there bells and whistles and giving them to the satellite / privateer teams to balance out the competition. Like what has happened to Nascar with all there restrictions.

It is ruining racing all together - cars & bikes.

This is the last year for Dodge with Nascar.

Oh I know about that. I just think there's more to the story than just that. Who knows?

All there regulations in GP seem to have lowered the field of compatition. Theres no money to be made by the factories by sinking million$ into it. I've heard speculation that Ducati may fold up there GP pockets and focus on Superbike (SBK) - after spending millions on Rossi and Hayden and getting NOTHING out of them.

World Superbike and the AMA have been much better then MotoGp...has been for years.
