"Not everyone has access to this event live"

On BCF they do.

Any thread about motogp is likely to contain spoilers so if someone doesn't want to know what happens before watching the race, they should probably stay out of all motogp threads.

[t121anf]

It's not the motogp threads I'm worried about, it's "OMG Rossi Wins!!!!! 10x world champ, OMG!!!!!!" type threads in General Chat.

[UncleFester]

A true fan would pay for access to the live event ...

Getting in there nice and early with the thread, Sid

After the build up of the last couple of races this best be a good end to the season!

In general day to day life it can be difficult to avoid sports headlines, but I'll play ball (C wot I dun).

I'd booked the time off in the hope of going to Valencia but shite has transpired so guess I'll be watching it at home. Got 4 petrolhead friends coming over. Early on in the year I caught my girlfriend secretly watching a MotoGP race one evening so I'll record it for her, unusually it's the first time she's shown any interest in motorsport yet she knew foul play when she saw it at Sepang.

I'm sure the meeting before the race will go well.

From Crash.net: Valentino Rossi's appeal to suspend Sepang penalty has been rejected, will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid.

Putting aside the recent shenanigans, anyone feel like sticking their neck out with some predictions?

MotoGP (Barring DNF's)
1. Marquez
2. Pedrosa
3. Lorenzo
4. ???????
5. ???????
6. Rossi

Which would give VR the title.
There's going to be huge pressure on JLo, he has to finish on the podium to stand a chance of taking the title, (IMO)!
If JLo bins it in turn one, how many laps would VR bother doing, knowing the championship was his?

Not sure about Kent though, I really don't want him to end up as the, plucky, British runner up, but he's going to have to improve on his recent performances to avoid that, and, just like JLo, he cannot afford to DNF!

Moto2's a bit of a side show, all done and dusted, I'd like to see SL take a win, but his pace always seems to drop in the race!

Nope, although I don't think Rossi will be champion.

I'd like him to win though.

It's going to be a good race!!

We need unexpected rain of biblical proportions in the last 5 laps to increase the tension.

[Howling Terror]

Forecast is cloudy on Sunday. Is god a Rossi fan.

If JLo's sitting in third positition, towards the end of the race, his sphincter's going to be twitching like a rabid squirrel!

If Rossi keeps improving his pace the way he did in FP2 then I don't think 4th position is an unreasonable expectation for the race.
Rossi needs lorenzo to crash in FP or Qualifying to knock his confidence a bit.

All other stuff aside, i'd like to see Rossi get his 10th .... just without all the carping that has taken place.

However he's going to have to work for it to get it as i can't see Lorenzo or Pedrosa or Marquez gifting it to him.

Petruci / Iannone are ones to watch out for as are Smith and Crutchlow if other people start doing stupid stuff.

Should be an epic race, hopefully free of dirty tactics and full of close racing!
