Motogp 2013

The hill up to turn 1 is ridiculous (its a steep walk up!) and it's a blind entry to the apex too, then drops off into a screamer of a turn 2. This track is pretty amazing.

The track is really wild looking - the riders seem to have good things to say about it.

All of the classes look to be producing some awesome races tomorrow. I was pretty happy with the Moto2 QP results (no spoilers here), and listening to the comments in parc ferme was hilarious. For MotoGP, it will be interesting to see how riders and tires last at race pace/length.

Try to get to turn 11. I'm curious to see what the bikes' electronics do on that turn exist. I'm sure the TV veiw won't do the track justice.

I was there all afternoon yesterday. I think it was only Bradl's bike that made obvious TC cut noises. The motoGP bikes are hitting 210+mph on that straight and it is mind boggling.

Holy s*!t I have to see something like that in person one of these days. That's crazy fast
 
Has anyone noticed that the Honda bikes sound like Wookies sometimes? Normally during mid-RPM corners. Once you hear it, it's hard to take them seriously.

Watching the Moto3 race..... Quite the drama..... Tough track, looking forward to the Moto2 and MotoGP races.
Marquez looks good to podium, I would be surprised if a Honda doesn't win.

Definitely have to try to make it to Austin in the future for MotoGP races.

Edit: Moto2 race was good, nice battle for 2nd!

Edit#2: Good MotoGP race..... The outcome was expected, congrats to the winner! Amazing talent!

Can't say I didn't see that one coming, a little disappointed that Rossi didn't get a podium. :(

I think it was even more impressive seeing the moto3 bikes hit 140+ mph!

That was probably the most entertaining part of the race weekend....... not a very exciting GP class race at all. Track looks great though.

Scott Redding was backing it into turn 15 almost every lap too. The moto2 race was a good one!

Agreed, the Moto2 group didn't disappoint. I just read online that Redding only had 2mm of rubber left on his back tire after the race. :o
 
Is it just me or did they forget to tell marquez that you're not supposed to be able to ride a GP bike like it's a 600. Crappy picture print screened from the race but nice elbow sliders!
