Haven't seen a Moto GP thread so I thought I would create one..


Anyone seen Valentino Rossi's new helmet and leather?

Talk about anything to do with the Moto GP

I liked his helmet the race before todays, He had his face painted on it. Looked funny when the birds eye view was tracking him whilst riding. Ill try and get a picture
His new leathers a nice too. Blue and pink and did anyone catch it when he sed he was wearing the Italian football shirt underneath his leathers Must be steaming going round that course today

nah Rossi said his leathers were meant to be the italien football kit. blue top and shorts with the pink bits being the skin. he said he couldnt race in a Italien shirt and shorts so this was the next best thing. His helmet for the GP in Italy was cool.

What about that Ducati's straight line speed then? its so quick.

No, Rossi also had pink leather on his arms aswell I remember the interview and you seen that.

His helment for the GP was really good lmao, the football it looked really smart..

Yeah that did look really good lol

Ano lol

Didn't think this would be as popular as the Formula 1 thread lol

why have four wheels when you can go faster on two?

I cant belive people like rossi's italien leathers. They were quite minging!

Yeh they were, but it they were cool

But it's faster on four wheels!
(As proven by Top Gear)

hate to break the news to you but top gear lies about alot of stuff.

The Jensen Button power lap. Watch it and this time look at the regi plate on the car. changes halfway through his "real" lap.

Hence the tounge at the end........

However, I think we all know I'm right. Show me a bike that can beat an F1 car round a circuit!?


Obviously bikes are quicker on roads, but high powered cars can beat high powered bikes, surely?

That doesn't mean it wasn't his real lap time... its just to entertain so technically its not really a lie

I would have to go with 1_eye that cars would possibly be better than bikes though i am not 100% sure

Does anyone have any bets for this weekends race?? I have a family bet on and its my turn to choose first and i don't know who might win so any help would be great!


(i'm new to watching moto GP)

I think stoner's gonna have a good race this weekend. I think he's due it.

The cars v bikes thing's hard to call.

Like john said up above an F1 car's gonna beat a super bike. But i think a super bike would beat any car apart from a F1 car.

they've decided that i'm not first to pick this week *surprisingly* and stoners been taken, so has pedrosa and rossi so i am screwed Is lorenzo still out?

yes he is... i picked Hayden and its just my luck that he went and fell off lol

I reckon a DTM car will also beat a Superbike.....


Anyone see the first corner crash from Rossi?
Ouchy............

gonna swallow my pride and ask whats a DTM car?

Laguna seca next.

what's everyone's predictions?
