And that’s from the outside which is, lets be honest, nothing like being on the inside and taking it on the chin every day. So the 3:30 am ritual for the Euro rounds has been less and less appealing, in the battle of sleep vs race fan, sleep has been winning.... For the rest of this blogpost click HERE Delete the scoop?

The start of Sunday's wet French MotoGP saw several riders struggle visibly for grip off the line, illustrated most dramatically by an accident for Randy de Puniet. Ben Spies also got sideways, who also got sideways, felt it was the finish line paint that caused the loss of traction. But fellow American Nicky Hayden - whose Ducati was sent fishtailing - believes there must have been something present only on the pitlane side of the racetrack...For the rest of this article, click on the headline above.

(AGI) Le Mans- Ducati and Valentino Rossi will "try to do better in Le Mans" the Moto GP pilot stated. The team has encountered rain on every day of training and race except Qatar and hopes for clear weather in Le Mans to continue their work on the GP12. Post-race tests were cancelled in Portugal due to bad weather and Valentino Rossi will be back in action next Friday on the track he dominated last year, utilizing the assets used in Estoril and with the aim to improve upon the recent seventh place. "It was a shame to lose the post-race tests in Portugal because on the one hand we would have continued our development and on the other, having the recent references from the race, we could have discovered interesting results," said Rossi. "However the whole thing doesn't change much for Le Mans from a technical point of view since hypothetical updates would have been made later" he added. "In France we'll prepare the race by working on the motorcycle as we did in Estoril, starting from the fact that now we have a little more knowledge and then proceed by developing the machine bit by bit, in order to reach Sunday at the top of our potential.
