Good write-up. Thanks Nes.

Almost to the top....

For me the top is something between live and death.....TT man island. The rest is the normal issues of riding a bike. A lot of scars, broken bones and the pain that comes with it. Some of us can live with that problems others can. Maybe like a lot of you I have titanium in my right foot, more than 10 scars on my legs and a problem on my right and. But what this means....nothing, just the price to pay to ride a bike. I think that the guys that have problems with there health and decide to forget about bikes are smart. They want to live longer and made a good option. I decided to challenge live and live with my pain during the ride. Adrenaline solves the issue. So. We are all the same. The smart guys, the stupid guys, and the guys that want and need something more....a little more stupid but they get a little more pleasure out of live......or not 😂

He couldn't reach it. He is 160cm
And 51 kg.....


But still 2 times 250cc and 1 time 125cc world champion.


Spain desperately wanted premier class champions.
And we got Lorenzo, which despite his character is a great champion and now Marquez.........
And many more are coming. Look out for Joan Mir.


The new Empire is here(and absolutely deservedly so).....brace yourselves, it's gonna be a hell of a ride

Totally agree. He is outshining Alex (Marquez) in Moto 2, and will be among the front runners in Moto GP next year.

More two or three years the name you will see on the top is Miguel Oliveira. He has the balls and the courage to get there. Let’s see if he gets the change to ride a good bike. Money and sponsorship in the GP is almost everything.

Ya, ya, ya man. Money and sponsorship make champions. It is all an unholy conspiracy.

Nasty, NASTY Spaniards!

Your comment says everything. My favorite rider is Michael Doohan in GP, in formula one Nigel Mansel, but the best one in formula one was Senna. But I don’t like Senna. Spanish riders are top, Italian riders even more (the doctor) and if one good rider comes along (doesn’t matter the country he belongs) it will be the best. I’m beginning to believe that Spanish guys don’t like sports, they just like something else........but, I respect your opinion.

No, it is your comment that says everything: "I’m beginning to believe that Spanish guys don’t like sports, they just like something else".


My favorite riders are MM, Casey Stoner, Valentino Rossi and Kenny Roberts.
