So he and Lorenzo will be best buddies now right?

LOL They'll still hate each other but Lorenzo has the advantage of being the Top Dog now. Don't think he won't use that to his advantage. The key will be whether or not there is a wall in the garage separating the two. If there isn't, everything is (relatively) fine between them.

I bet there's a wall.

I bet there's a wall.

Me too. Rossi will say all the right things about "supporting" Lorenzo but he wants to beat the little SOB just as much as before.

Nothing a couple times of running wide in a turn with Lorenzo on the outside can't cure. Just ask Casey... (I can't stand Lorenzo. He is only one step ahead of Pedrrosa in my book. At least he has won the title and can finish the deal...)

It will be great to see Rossi make another run for the title. I was able to see him win his 7th world title in Se-pang, Malaysia. The Moto GP ticket was only $35 minus the airfare to get there. It was a good experience to see the whole process from start to finish. The Friday setup for the race, the qualifying, the finish, to the post-press conference. It's whole new experience when you have a chance to talk to these riders and get to know them better. Wish I could do again someday, travel the world and follow the Moto GP circuit!

SeattleTy-You'll have 3 chances just in the U.S. next year. Laguna Seca, Indy and now Austin Texas has been added to the schedule. I was very happy to see COTA (circuit of the Americas) added but I hate how the track owners and Dorna are screwing Kevin Schwantz out of promoting the event. Schwantz was the guy who brought them together and now the track owners, Dorna do a go around deal eliminating Schwantz from the deal. Not ethical, not right. And now they have another lawsuit to deal with.

I've been to both GP in California and Indiana 2 or 3 times. I was working for a motorcycle recording outfit and got some great opportunities as an employee. I got to watch the races from inside the building above the starting lines. Inside there was international food from all over the world and TV's to watch the race's. In addition, many representative from all over the world in the motorcycle industry, good networking opportunity to learn from some of the best companies.

I am going to try to make the new one in Texas. Maybe we can orchestrate a ride down there somehow. Anyone interested, please let me know and we will make it happen.
