womble Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Like it says in the title the first race of the 2005 Moto GP series which kicks off today from Jerez in Spain. Can Rossi Sucsesfully defend his title or will Honda strike back with vengance ?!. God knows but if you want to seee some decent racing from guys wtih balls the size of space hoppers on 250hp (ish) bikes then coverage is on Eurosport now, think the 1000s are on around 1pm.

womble Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 I can't help but think what's going on with Suzukis race efforts is a bit odd to say the least. You've got a major manufacturer with years of GP and then Moto GP experience and a fantasic develpment team on the GSXR front really struggeling to make a bike that can finish a race never mind be on the pace. Ducati had a superb season in their first year of competinng and going by the weekends results the Kawasaki seems to have moved on nicely over the winter period. Very strange.

womble Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Bet they're glad they din't call the GP bike a GSXR, potential marketing disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
