MotoGP round 4 Le Mans 05/15/11 **SPOILERS** - Page 2

The Ducs had one of the better engines until the rules cut down the amount of fuel they could burn per race. Now I think in straightline performance HRC and their slicks trans are equal or perhaps maybe a little advantage. What will hurt the Duc at Le Mans are all the heavy braking zones, cause that chassis isnt known for braking stability...

Free practice 1...It seems that the Hondas might do well in this race...

It's a real Honda....it's just built from components from the 2009 season bike.

I was a big fan of "prototype racing" for a long time....but....I'm drifting more and more into spec racing now....there are 17 bikes on the MotoGP grid currently....and you can HONESTLY....without any hesitation say that 12 of them have no realistic shot to win due to inferior technology.

The technological spectacle of the top bikes doing their thing is impressive...but...it makes for boring racing.

Free practice 2...Somebody better put a chain on Stoner, he's trying to leave the building!!

I don't know, man...the only people likely to get his fairing are the kitty litter crews after he barrel rolls it again.

If that dude could learn to control his "red mist" problem he'd be right there fighting for WINS..not just podiums....but...he can't seem to keep it together for full race distance.
