Seems like is Lorenzo's lucky year..first the Ducati not doing well, then Rossi now this..

A world championship win is a world championship win.... but he must be feeling unsatisfied by the fact he's almost won by default rather then skill.... empty victory.

After looking like 2010 was going to be a fantastic year in GP it's been a bit of a let down :(

agree.. some of the best racing has been further down the field..so what you guys would change to make it more interesting?
My recipe is easy and no-cost:
lower RPM (17-18 K)
1000 cc
only limited TC (not GPS-linked and simple, perhaps a "standard issue" for everyone)
F1-style qualify
If you field 2 bikes in a Factory team you must give another 4 on loan (4 FT=24 bikes)
If your rider has to sit out a race due to injury you MUST replace him

Just my tuppence worth on your ideas Pomp.

lower RPM (17-18 K) - Doesn't change the power.
1000 cc - Steps on WSbk toes.
Only limited TC (not GPS-linked and simple, perhaps a "standard issue" for everyone) - There should be no electronic rider aids at all.
F1-style qualify - Qualifying should be as per F1, WSbk, BSB.
If you field 2 bikes in a Factory team you must give another 4 on loan (4 FT=24 bikes) - Brilliant idea. :D
If your rider has to sit out a race due to injury you MUST replace him - Again, another brilliant idea. :D

The only limiting factors should be engine size, no TC, AW, etc, and testing time. Everything else is completely open. This is prototype racing!

Good idea about fielding 4 non-factory bikes as a rule.
