MotoGP lands in Texas

[SugarBooger]

Second race of the season, first of three on US soil, first time ever at Circuit Of The Americas (COTA).
Unless Speed completely f*€ks this up, should be a good Sunday for racing motorcycles at ri-Donk-ulous speeds and gravity defying lean angles.

It's just outside of Austin, makes me regret moving away from there even more.

Man sure wish I could catch this in person.

I hear ya!

I've ridden tracks across the country, but these facilities redefine first class.
I would gladly trade 3 days at Miller for 2 hours at Austin

Track is awesome.
Here for the whole weekend.

The track is spectacular. Lots of practice today. The big bikes sound incredible. Even the 600cc MotoGP2 bikes sound great. Gonna be a good weekend!

And it looks like Speed is going to air the qualifying tonight as well.

Should be good since they changed the rules to qualifying this season. Makes for a real exciting last ditch effort for the top ten only.
Hope Hayden and Spies and Edwards have a good showing representing the Stars and Stripes!

Have fun down there guys!

Phenomenal race! History making performance by the GP rookie, Marquez becomes the youngest rider to win a premier class race, unseating Fast Freddie Spencer. That record has stood longer than the winner has been alive... And then some!

+1 on the race! And yes, it is a beautiful track, nothing else like in the states. Man those guys are unbelievable!

Great racing. Awesome facility. Can't wait for the Formula 1 race later his year.
