That's some good shit right there Craig. I really enjoyed the Motegi race last year. Thanks for the reminder.

Yea Stoner out in front on the Ducati, (boring ), but the battle between the factory Yamaha's was fantastic!

Given that Casey is on the Honda this year, I predict even more of a runaway from him again, but I do doubt that Rossi will challenge Lorenzo like he did last year.
I'm all for it though if it happens, but it's obvious Ducati is spending it's time with R&D this season with the GOAT aboard.

That's the plan Matty!

Looking forward to it!

I see we have another Aussie taking to the MotoGP grid this race.
Damian Cudlin will be stepping in for Capirossi on the Pramac Ducati while Loris is out due to injury.
Cudlin is the 2010 IDM Supersport champ and he's stepped up to the Superbikes this year in that series. He had a ride in Moto2 last year at the Sack Ring and finished 7th.
He's never raced at Motegi or ever ridden a MotoGP bike, but he sure as shit can't do any worse on the Ducati than Loris!

That's awesome news! Damo is a nice guy and talented rider. I hope he can score a point or two as it would help him secure a good ride in the future.

LOL! where are these ducati.ms t-shirts of which you speak . I might be willing to chuck one from the showbag I will receive into the mix, but then again might keep it, as useful for rags in the garage.

well he really can't do any worse than the guy he is filling in for....

Plus if Stoner, Lorenzo, and Rossi no show like they said a few weeks back....Damo just needs to stay on 2 wheels for guaranteed GP points.

Damian's brother Alex is also a talent.
They breed 'em fast up that way ,,,,, Taree is also the home of 3 times World Champion Troy Bayliss.

Might have something to do with the oiled surface track at Old Bar, on which these guys honed their dirt tracking skills.
