Agreed. So long as he can get away from Mad Max and company and not get pushed off track, I think they're looking at a very long season.

He's riding the wheels off that Yamaha. Rossi better take notice. :D At least he isn't on a Honda. :)

I saw the WSB races on TV last weekend - and he was amazing! But the best bit was a quote from his mum: "I don't like the circuits with the big TVs because Ben watches himself on them when he should be concentrating on the race"!

This lad will go far!

I wish they had more coverage of the races, even more vintage stuff. Up here in Canada we don’t get a lot. it always amazes me to see them lean those bikes so far.

LOL - My Indy MotoGP seats are in the SW Vista overlooking the T1 to T4 complex. When they exit T4, the ONLY part of the rider you can see is his right forearm, and his lower right leg - all the rest is over the side of the bike - totally amazing!

Yes the speed channel is available but at a price of thirty-two bottles of maple syrup a month its a bit steep :S :blush: :whistle: :silly:

Depending on what cable/satellite provider and plan a person has we get about 99.9% of the same channels as the us :laugh:
