johnakay Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 does anyone know if ITV going to show highlights this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I imagine ITV4 will have highlights. For about 70 squid you can get a year access to motogp.com where they have all the races live. And all the old races from about 1992 onwards! Money well spent, time well wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yes ITV 4 highlights. BT sports live and as hoggs says their own website. We have just booked our Silverstone tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 70 quid for the .com video access! Yeah the weekend is costing us about 400 for tickets and accommodation.... then there's food and booze.... oh and petrol... and I'll probably get a puncture...

NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Where are you sitting Hoggs?We are in woodcote A this year.There's 4 of us with the kids so we treat it as a holiday. We camp in woodlands on site. It's the first year we have done the camper van thing tho.I finally relented and agreed. Lisa has wanted to hire one for years but me being a tight yorkshire man have always said no a tent will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 errrrrrrrrrrrrm *checks* Village B I think (the Marquez one. Look out for me I'll be cheering Iannone!). OH doesn't do camping so we've got a hotel in Milton Keynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The Marquez stand would probably be lisa and her mates proffered stand.We call them the Repsol twins They are both old enough to be his mother. ..lolIt's quite funny really. Me the kids my mate all definitely not marquez and them 2 decked out in their repsol gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Last year we were at Brooklands and I had the misfortune of being seated next to a very enthusiast Rossi fan. He lept up and shouted every time he went past. Think he may have been in a battle with Dovi so I was cheering on Dovi. This appeared to anger him. I don't think he could comprehend the thought of someone not supporting Rossi!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 To be honest I'm a Rossi fan but I appreciate all good racing. Yes we were shouting and balling last year but in a way how Petrucci came from no where was just as thrilling.The biggest downer last year for me was when Cal got taken out. We were sat in club corner so it was straight in front of us. By the way. I like a bit of red too... I rock my old ben spies ducati hoodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 ARGH STUPID SPIES!!! he had so much potential. I was really rooting for him, riding the tech3 really well... goes to the factory team and utter utter sham. I know not everything was his fault but sheesh... not a good 2 years. Then the ducati downfall As much as I dislike Stoner his ability to ride the Ducati the way he did was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Tell you what Hoggs.Stoner is one of the most talented riders ever.God help the factory Ducati riders this year if he does do the wild cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'd quite like to see him wild card it on a factory machine. As much as I love Dovi (and I do love Dovi) his performance of late has been slipping somewhat. Iannone has stepped it up (he was always fast but not falling off so much has done him wonders!). Reckon it may be close between Iannone and Stoner... We're watching the 2004 season currently and Stoner is not doing as well there Going to SIlverstone always makes me a bit sad though as you see all the 58s I reckon he would have won a race that year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Funny you should say that. I have just managed to ruin my 58 race your life t shirt whilst on holiday. Got bloody sun cream stains all over it. Been soaking it and all sorts to try and sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Tell you something else too Hoggs.In my opinion. Dovi will not be in the top 2 ducati riders this year. I may be wrong. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_W Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Neil, it will be petrux and crazy Joe I reckon for top duck.Hoping Brad can put the cat in the pigeons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ack I agree with you Neil Looking forward to seeing how danny Kent fares in moto2. A lot of good riders have struggled in the step up. Well including Kent when he did a couple years back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Will be interesting to see how Redding gets on with the pramac ducati. According to reports things are looking good thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_W Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I think the new electronics are going to level things this season. Glad bridgestone are gone. I truly believe their tyres were the cause of simoncelli being killed. They were to finicky around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I agree Mark.I think this year we will again see podiums from riders who are not the so called aliens. Cal. Brad who knows? You going Silverstone mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 P.sNo bloody idea why I'm calling you mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
