Haven't written in a while, Sorry.

Since I last wrote there have been the 1st tests for the 2011 season. The MotoGP test was quite boring to be honest, Casey Stoner seemed to get some good laps in on the Honda, where as Valentino Rossi was struggling with the Ducati, but seriously we have to be realistic - Rossi joined Yamaha when the bike was not ride able or able to win a race! but with the patience of a saint and hard work he made the Yamaha a World Championship winning bike and it must of been a huge kick in the teeth when Yamaha bought in Lorenzo who had a pretty much perfect bike for the seasons. Cut a long story short, Give Rossi some time with that Ducati and he will surely but slowly get it working. 

Then there was Ben Spies on the Factory Yamaha - He should know that he is one lucky guy to get Valentino's bike in a very good condition. Spies was fast at the test and if he was fast on the Tech 3 Monster Bike imagine what he can do on the Factory bike!! It'll make interesting races next season and I have no doubt that Ben Spies will win a race next season.

The next rider I was impressed with is Dani Pedrosa (I am always impressed with Pedrosa though!), he was still suffering with his numb arm and collarbone injury but ended the test in a good position. If Dani Pedrosa can get fit and start the season with a ride able bike then he will be able to challenge for race wins early on. The saddest thing with Pedrosa's injury is that it wasn't through no fault of his own and at the time he was riding in fine form. It just looked like he was glued to the bike. Also I was so glad to hear the Honda have kept Dovizioso because he had a great season, He did not deserve to be ousted by Casey Stoner whose season was nothing short of miserable.

Also the return of Toni Elias to MotoGP is something I'm really excited about. Last year he swapped to Moto2 and showed what a talented, experienced and brilliant rider he really is. Toni didn't deserve to get punted out but he re-discovered his brilliant form and hopefully he'll show the San Carlo team what there missing out on!!
