Moto GP

Moto GP is for any motorsport enthusiast, a weekend of bikes, bikes and beer!! The Phillip Island GP takes place a few km's from the town of Cowes, which becomes a hub for the whole event, with many of the stars regulars at the few restaurants that exist in town. As the photo shows, Moto GP star Colin Edwards couldn't wait to be in a photo with sportsmouth and friends at the best pizza joint in town and is a good indication of the relaxed atmosphere that exists around this event and also why the riders love to come to Australia for this round.

As for the results, well Casey Stoner (aussie) continued to dominate with a very popular win in the main category followed by his teammate Loris Capirossi and all time legend Valentino Rossi. The other two Aussies in the event performed well, but were probably dissapointed to not have finished higher at their home GP.

All in all this is an awesome weekend of bikes, bikes and beer and if you're one of those naysayers, who suggest these guys are overpaid for what they do, I suggest that you come and see for yourself, once you see them flying down the main straight at over 300km/h, you may change your mind while thinking to yourself, they couldn't pay me enough to do that!!

And about the only technical knowledge I have is that at anytime, the amount of contact the bike tyre has on the track, is about the same width as your credit card!! At 300km/h I'm sure it feels alot less!!

Big pay checks, yes, bigger balls, you bet!!!!!
